Absolute legends!! Was such a pleasure meeting you all today 4wd TV! And thank you SO very much for your donations. Many people have been asking for help with tents, tarps, camp chairs and beds, so they can stay on their own properties to clean up, and you've well and truly kicked goals! Cannot thank you enough! And a massive thanks for the air conditioner! It will all go to great use.

Advice Message issued yesterday when a fire broke out threatening unburnt pasture near Chisholms Road in the Highlands.
The fire was brought under control at 2:43am this morning. 10 CFA, FFMV and private appliances and fire crews were alerted around 5pm, when high 38 degree temperatures and moderate southerly winds pushed the fire from the Switzerland Range Reserve toward some of the only unburnt country left by the Longwood complex fire.
An earthen fire break was placed between the bushland and the open farmland to help contain the fires spread.
Our nearby UGFM 88.9 Yea and Highlands transmitter, still running on generator for the past 3 weeks, was due for refuelling when the fire broke out, had to wait until it was safe this morning to do so, caused a break in transmission during the night. Great work by all the crews on controlling the fire!
