Burn off update.

All over bar the smoking... 😁

This photo is from the same window as my other window fire pics. Curiously, for a burn named Aeroplane Hills HR, Aeroplane Hills look largely untouched from my angle. (so named because a Wirraway plane crashed there in 1940 https://www.ozatwar.com/ozcrashes/nsw74.htm - I saw what still remained, umm 20y ago... )

A combustible world: "Any city can burn now. "
21st-century fires

"The intensity of the fire ...burned basically the same way as the ones in LA. You had the drought, you had the fuel, you had the wind and that’s all you need. That can be recreated anywhere in the world. Any city can burn now. "

"Don’t look at the fire, look at the wind. If the wind is blowing over you, it means the embers are, too. The fire could be 2 miles away, but if the wind is toward you, the embers are, too, and act accordingly."

"Fire fuel "used to be thought of as "the bush" leaf litter, grasses, shrubs, trees, in short Australian biodiversity. Now it is also houses, all the stuff and the petrol derived products and infrastructure.

Severe bushfire risk increased by hazard reduction burns, report finds

"Logging or prescribed burning can prevent a forest maturing and becoming less flammable."

"Traditional fire management strategies such as hazard reduction burns, logging, and the thinning of undergrowth have increased the flammability of forests....Our history of forest management, including past logging and past thinning, has actually added to the fire burn."

"Professor Lindenmayer said periodic hazard reduction burns could leave a forest in a higher state of flammability indefinitely."

The Shire has the worst air quality in Sydney this morning. I believe it.

Apocalyptic vibes and the first magpie swoop of the season. Spring is here. Probably wouldn't have ridden if I knew the smoke would be quite this bad...
