SINSULL -- yes, she's OK. The fire has remained on her doorstep -- well 10 minutes by car away. It's remained one of the more controlable fires and it hasn't linked up with the others. The wind is taking it in the other direction. Although her area is also forest there's a lot of cleared space and the weather conditions are much improved. Also they won't be taken off-guard now. When the heat returns on the weekend (the forecast is 30 degrees - not 47) she'll be back down to the suburbs with her children and dog well before there's any danger. I was concerned that on Saturday their mustering point was so far away down one highway. (Lilydale and she's in Launching Place, for those who know the area.) There are so many people living along that highway. It's something to consider when this season is over.
