Dodging bullets as well as a bushfire

Tweet

There is a bushfire burning just south of Perth, Western Australia’s capital with fire-fighters facing an unusual situation. The fire is burning in an area that was once used by the army for training purposes, including firearm and weapon training. Armaments were also stored there. Unexploded ordnance is proving a challenge and machinery has been withdrawn from the area following the detonation of several shells. Having bullets flying past would be the last straw if you were a fire-fighter. The photo is of the smoke from a bushfire that got a bit too close for comfort to our home in Donnybrook. The photo was taken a couple of years ago when there was a bushfire near Mandurah where we were staying at the time.
