Today has been certainly challenging and it has taken every effort by many RFS volunteers and QFR firefighters to protect the homes along Wongawallan Drive.

Crews continued this morning with preparing the rear of homes with brushcutters, chainsaws and hand tools to provide protection before commencing backburning. The main fire had move considerably and started impacting homes near 302 and 310 but this fire was stopped before it reached the houses.
