Good save by Goornong and Elmore

A small grass and scrub fire in the rear of a property at the Cnr Mayreef Rd and Collins Rd provided a distraction for Goornong and Elmore brigades on Tuesday 3rd Feb. The fire had some potential to be a problem with the warm conditions and prevailing winds. The fire was started by a fallen power line in the rear of the property and quickly spread along the grass towards the main house and derelict structure at rear getting into dead trees around the house. The gusty wind picking up embers with a potential to spot in the stubble paddock adjacent. The Goornong and Elmore crew quickly extinguished and blacked out ensuring the scene was safe. Good work Denis, Sharon and Dave Christie.  Photos show offending pole and burnt grass area.
