 G'day, I'm Joseph Gninnan, second lieutenant from Crit Point. At about ten to four on sat day we got a page for a grass and scrub fire at Glossop Street and as we left the station we seen a column of smoke. On arrival we noticed that the fire was burning behind a property that had very difficult access. So assessing the situation we made tankers three but that quickly escalated to make tankers eight and we split them up either side of the fence. We had a weather report of northerlies obviously and gusting. Flame heights were roughly five to six metres because we had a lot of tea tree around and a few pine trees in the midst of it and when the weather change, when the wind change comes through we had already knocked out the north and north-eastern side of the fire and we quickly contained it. There were some blackberries and long grass involved on the fence line and the berries were knocked down when we got water there. Initially there was threats because of the northly blowing we had a workshop down here that very hard to gain access to and we set up a tanker there for asset protection. Later on that vehicle when we contained it was used for water cartage as the water point was a fair distance away. Tankers involved were Crit Point, Bitten, Balnairing, Summers, Murida, Hastings and Tyad. The fire took roughly 30-40 minutes to get under control and then the hard slog to black it out.
