Eight months since our property burnt and we now have about ninety percent ground cover again, the fire was hot. The Duns road fire burnt in seven hours what took three days to burn in the eighty's when I was an active fire fighter.
I am slowly replacing the top shed with two containers and a pod roof. I will add a back wall soon. From what I have been told by fire fighters on the other side of the valley my entire hundred acres was on fire within six seconds of the fire reaching the creek. Glad I was evacuated.
