Burn Baby Burn

The city is covered in a pall of grey/white smoke. You can see it and taste it. It gives everything an eerie, almost translucent glow. (Paul up Late is right, it would have been a great day to take photos)

The high country is alight, with several fronts expected to join up into a 100 kilometre fire front, some time over the weekend. Some say it could burn all summer and that by the time it is finished 25% of the state could have been burned, from the middle, east to the coast at the pointy bit. We haven't seen conditions like this since witches-tit Friday, way back in 39, oh how the old timers will be able to reminisce.
