If you have been close to a wildfire in strong winds its scary. Only thing to stop it is heavy equipment and trained firefighters. Gone are the days of farmers with wet gunny sacks beating it and guys with shovels. Hard to stop a wave of 20ft fire

Yes. In Fort Mac we all had crews in Anzac. Dealing with burning homes.
The wind shifted. We had to evacuate the crews and Fire Trucks.
I thought the windows of the truck would melt. We have some intense pictures

Yep very scary when its out of control. Hve to move back and figure out a choke point to stop it and put resources there.
