First Burn Offs

From our house we could see the Fire Brigade doing there burn offs in the Hills preparing for the Summer Months and the problems with bush Fires.......
When I was a child I lived in Forrestfield ....which then was considered the bush, the street we lived on only had about 8 houses on it.... no electricity and no running water..( now called Berkshire rd ) except a creek that ran along our property...which we loved to play in...hated the leeches that we would have to pick of our bodies after each dip.........but all the time we lived there amongst the trees and shubbery not one bush fire nor did we ever hear about it in the surrounding areas.

Two seperate sites we saw on the same day.....I have it from good authority that todays bush fires are mainly caused by humans...sad hey !!!
