Having not seen the area, and just guessing here, if there is piles of green waste behind residents back fences, often it is the residents themselves that have chucked it over there.
@KingtutWA its not 'green waste' people from endeavour hills arent that dirty lol, its backed onto a golfcourse and that 'green waste' are actually 'blackberries'
Good shots. I try to get some pics while I am on the job, but carrying a camera in one hand and a fire hose in the other is a challenge. I am the Captain of the local brigade, and I have a site with pics and vids of mine on it. Google "Dunsboroughbfb", and check out the "recent events" page.
Also, try to get some proper clothes on before heading off into a firezone.
Ruffgo, the 'music score' was written by me on my sequencer on the day of the upload, sorry it doesn't comform to your liking. I do not rip off other musicians music by not getting persmission when I upload my videos. In saying that, I have noticed 'other' users videos have stolen images from various photographers without crediting them. Everything you see and hear is 100% mine.
I'm not sure about the technicalities of that AUSsupportTerrorist, but, I think from now on, when people decide to make clearings for bush fire prevention, I don't think "greenies" will be able to contest it. It's really sad in this day and age, it takes a disaster to make people wise up and amend problems that could cause future incidents. In my opinion, a single life lost in the bush fires is a life too many!
Oh man, is this the most awesome music anyone has ever heard or what??? it reminds me of this bloke in endeavour hills that was a bit of alright with the electronic beats, i think he called himself cute or cuey or cue or something...
Yeah this has to be the best music by far on any youtube vid ive seen....KEEP THEM UP..If I ever need music for a movie I hope I can Ask you... Or a documentry... WO wow ow oW ow
tommyaceshow, you have inspired me to share some more music/videos! Been writing tunes and engineering audio since 1998. :) Unfortunately, there is no money to be made from anything to do with multimedia, unless you know someone who is high up in a company. So I don't mind giving away my work for free, it annoys people that get paid for doing the same thing! Thanks again.
Oddly enough, I have never seen a koala in the wild, and I have travelled to many areas in Australia, including Tasmania. Any animal perishing from a fire is disturbing/sad.
Thanks tommyaceshow, I actually wrote this track on my QY70 midi sequencer 8 years ago in 2001. I resequenced it on my KORG Electribe MX and AKAI MPC500 just for this video. I have another 100+ midi sequences like this one, but this was the most appropriate/annoying. I am actually surprised you are the first person to comment on the audio, which is the main reason I uploaded this video.
If people want to rebuild in fire prone area's. Government law should make it compulsory for them to have underground bunkers, with fire proof metal doors.
It's not that it's not a common occurance Lkonae, there is always a possibility in areas like that a bush fire can strike at any time, prevention is better than cure. Australia has such strict building regulations/codes, especially in major cities, then these should apply throughout rural areas also.
I don't see why not MRMILO57, they have so many other useless building codes in place atm, at least this one will serve a function. I work in earthworks and excavations, it wouldn't cost much to make, especially in rural areas.
Completely agree with you, and your so right, it wouldn't take much time and money to make fire community fire shelters/bunkers or private shelters/bunkers. It would be worth spending $1000-$5000 (private property) for peace of mind.
I would imagine it to be so black in parts with smoke that people would get lost and not FIND the old roads to find there way out, like someone said on the news the land scape has totally changed ;(
yea all these people found in cars it's so freightening to think about, It makes me SO sad and kind of angry thinking there must have been a way to prevent some of this by being more prepared months ago or something.... I just don't know
It is sad ShesThe1yup, and you're right, it is kind of annoying because in most cases a lot of deaths were preventable. At the end of the day, no one wants to die, and I can only imagine these poor people did everything they could to avoid the fire, but in most cases it was already too late. :(
there was another fire yesterday in cranbourne, on the golf corse and it started in lynbrook then went passed the south gippy highway and then the outdoor deco and golfcorse, 17 firetrucks were they and from all over rosebud mountmarther and more and there like an hour away thats how bad it got and the fire burnt 7 cows, 3 house brunt down, a boat a car and another car was nearly brunt down and it had gas in it so it kept exploding but luckily they hosed it down, rodes are still bloked today. :|
Sadly, I would have to agree with you ChangingResolve, but then again we have that beautiful gaping hole in the mountainside, which is the Pioneer Quarry. It dumps tonnes of dust on Endeavour Hills residents homes/cars on windy days. That's why your family car is always dirty. :)
i was a firefighter at these bushfires, just letting you no that although you may not think what you are doing is dangrous you havent been trained in wildfire behaviour etc, so i would advise you not to get to close. and FYI standing that close to a re-filling aircraft could cause the pilot to have to leave that area due to the danger. you could possibly get into trouble as it is technically "hampering firefighting efforts" which i think is something like 30 penalty points. think again next time
Instead of worrying about the other 200+ tourists like myself on that day, why not put all that "firefighting" effort in place and advise the Golf Club owners they created a very hazardous environment for the residents of Endeavour Hills.
There was a lot of discarded trees and foliage left along their property boundary to discourage people entering the golf course!
The Golf Club did not create a 'very hazardous environment for the residents' You should be appreciating the fact the course was there and protecting your neighbourhood. The golf course broke the fire! I agree with the boundary comment although its a bit exagerated, but a proper fence should be put up and it can be cleaned out.
There was a section behind the golf course that banked up with peoples back yard fences, massive amount of green waste piled up along their fence line. I am quite surprised no one made mention that it was a fire hazard. I'm talking about trees and branches that have been sitting there for many years, a perfect recipe for disaster as the embers are what make there way into people backyards and other areas of concern.
I know this because I have been living in Endeavour Hills for 29 years, their original fence is as old as I am, so instead of repairing or updating it, they created this fire hazard alongside peoples backyard fences.
It is also odd that you have assumed I have not had any training, I can tell you I have many certifications & qualifications under my belt, one of which is First Aid.
In regards to being to close to Elvis, I alongside two other accredited photographers were there, I didn't realise educating people of the dangers of bushfires was deemed "hampering firefighting efforts".
Remember, prevention is better than cure!
In saying all this, you guys did a great job, and I have shared my photos and other media with several CFA groups who all found my work quite admirable.
Can't you see that people are not going to sit around and wait to be told what to do by you, when things go bad going out and finding more people keeps these people calm, more independant thinking please just take care and ask the firecrews how dangerous it is to be there my brother almost lost his life on ash wendesday so i am well informed, and i am not a firey.what makes you think people can not think for themselves?
What are penalty points? Is that the system that governs the volunteer firefighters that go around deliberatly lighting fires? As for the getting to close to the chopper, maybe he was standing there and the chopper came to him? Stinky, were you given a warning to move away? A punishment can only come after a warning.
Also the locals may have known information about their local area that the firefighters did not eg. fuel drums in a dam pump house If the locals arnt around alot of firefighters lives can be lost this way. I think it shouldnt be generalised on what to do in these situations as each one is totally different.
Quote "These fires are not acting like normal fires" So what is wildfire training going to do?
A state away in N.S.W. it was 46dC under our verandah,next doors bees died due to heat,our birds were ill,had 3 small fires,peatsridge,gosfordBlack ambers rained,they lasted 5 days,were v lucky,i was2scared togo closewid cam:aswarnings of Bing done for arson:SOmate&i went up firetrail near our home toget some pics5mins after we got home detectives drove up there!sobe carful with your selves,and only go up main roads were you can be watched by the cfs/police so u do not go for suspician of arson,

Great shots mate how did you get so close? alot of people are pissed at guys like us that just wanna see the action up close. your photos tell the story well done
Here is a collection of photos I personally took of the fire that happaned on the 30/01/09 along Police Paddocks, Churchill Park Golf Course and a small section in Endeavour Hills.
I just had to upload this because it's safe to say that the photos I took are slightly better than those taken by "professional" photographers at the scene, who didn't brave the elements to get interesting photos.
