Sunday 3.2.19   1543

The fire is still about 60000 ha.  It has just made a run to the SE towards communities North and South of Geeveston.  The warnings are for impact in those areas in 30 minutes to an hour.  The winds are not particularly strong here, but are a little gusty, and gusts of 70 km/hr are expected in places.  It's very smoky here at present.
All 40 fires in the state are increasing their activity at the moment as warmer air moves in from the North.  Hopefully, the containment lines will hold.
The perimeter of the fire is over 1600km (1000 miles.)

Tomorrow is expected to be cooler but no significant showers until Thursday.
On a lighter note: the pig has not escaped today and seems fairly settled although she must be grumpy with the heat and smoke.

Rasher enjoying having more room to move.
