 It's nearing the end of February, it's interesting that we've still got a fire season here. The days are getting shorter, the weather is starting to change but we've still got a fire season that people need to be conscious about. It's interesting with the days being shorter, we're seeing a slightly different change in the weather. I think over the weekend we've seen that slightly cooler, shorter days meant a little bit more moisture around and we certainly welcome that but we haven't seen the change in any way with the fuel conditions. That means that we've still got dry grass and bushland across Victoria and that's the key factor at the moment. This week we'll see a cooler week, a more mild week and potential of lightening early in the week which means we could have other starts of fire. But also we're going to see the potential for showers and rain and we certainly welcome the word about rain and if we get that, that will change the landscape dramatically and we can only hope that it's widespread but that may not be the case. So stay tuned to the forecast and the Bureau will do its best to make sure we get the weather that is best for us. The other thing though, it's interesting to reflect back on last week. The fire that was in, it started at Donnybrook early in the week, a hot day, not a windy day but saw a grass fire move at 3, 4, 5 kilometres an hour and in 3 hours was sitting right on the edge of the metropolitan area and caused a lot of concerns to those that lived in out of metropolitan area. The urban fringe or what we call the urban-rule interface is something we need to be very conscious of. We've done a lot of work since then in the last week about understanding better the types of communities that are on the interface. We know them well but we actually had a look at a lot more information about where the schools are, the childcare facilities and we're going to make a really focus if we have a fire in that area in any of those areas in the next two weeks that we really do tune a lot closer to the schools because I think that's where a lot of the concern was. If you're a parent you'll be looking for what the kids are doing. If it's after 3.30pm where the kids are and I think that's one of the things that we certainly focused on last week. To you as someone that's out there, whether you're a school child or whether you're a parent, think about the school hours. Think about what happens for those two or three hours after school finishes. People are on public transport. Where are they? What would they do if the fire started? What would they do if they couldn't get home because the bus didn't make it or the train didn't? So there's lots of things to think about and I think that's the action this week is to think about what it means to be a person that lives in urban areas, whether it be in Melbourne or some of our provincial cities, if a fire was near you and is close to your home that you don't normally think a fire would be.
