lightning strikes happi .nature started it .

Awww.. Thats too bad! At least it's not arson. No one to get mad at. Good luck to them. I hope they get it out soon.

That sucks man. :(

I live on the eyre peninsula in Port Lincoln we had the black tuesday fires near here not long ago an acquaintance of mine died in them twas sad. :(

That is raelly bad dude, hope they manage to get it under control, if not the brit's will send out fireman sam, hes a firefighting legend

Day six and the fire still burns on K.I. the army has been held off for now but fire crews from all over the country are heading to the Island ,grave fears about the forecast for Friday 38 degrees and strong winds Could make it near impossible to contain.

K.I still burns ..fark ..lflinders chase national park is out of control and winds are pickin up heres some latest pics from K.I.yesterday.

I don't think I am up for another high alert fire season, we've come close to losing our little farm twice in the last four years.

I really hope the predicted storms bring more rain than lightning and wind to you guys. Best of luck tomorrow and over the the weekend.
