This is a screenshot from the tfs website this morning showing the fire locations across the state. We are in the far South-East.
The nearest fire to us is now entering the outskirts of Geeveston, to the south, and people have been advised to evacuate immediately.
There are numerous towns and villages in the threatened area, and only the one road out. Our thoughts are with everyone in that area. They not only face the threat of the fire itself, but the smoke is very thick, making breathing difficult.
We woke to thick smoke this morning due to a shift in wind direction overnight, but are under no direct threat for the time being. We still have the cars packed in case the situation changes.
