On a 'Total Fire Ban' day, it is not illegal to: use a grinder in the long grass, weld bits onto your grease-encrusted harvester, strip paint with a heat gun, run a spotlight under a helicopter.
Not illegal, but ...
Not Clever.
Be clever. Stop. Have a bit of a think, work out where the sparks might land.
Maybe leave that job for another day. Maybe do your invoices or tax.
Maybe call your mum.
There's a scene in "The Battle of Britain" of the morning in Fighter Command where the phones and radio are quiet, the movements map is clear, and everyone is standing still waiting for things to kick off. You could cut the tension with a knife. I can imagine something like that in VicEmergency today. Good luck to you all and to VicEmergency - Barwon South West, and to all the teams out there.

So, someone explain this to me like I'm a 5yo.
There are constant (almost) warnings about the #ExtremeHeat that's happening across southern Australia today and for the next few days.
It's heading for 42C in #Melbourne and will be much higher in the country.
So why - WHY - is the #totalfireban ONLY in the western and some central parts of the state?
WTF??

A #TotalFireBan has been declared for #BoxingDay for the whole state of #Victoria.
Conditions are going to be Extreme.
When a fire starts or if one of the current fires jumps control lines they will be very difficult to get under control.
My day: Selectively brushcutting Phalarus grasses in +37C (following #totalFireBan safety), driving home an hour later in driving rain so thick I've had to pull over a few times at 20C..
#totalFireBan in central Victoria (Australia ) today.
Respect it. Thanks.
