Bloody hell, firefighters must be knackered. Good on em for getting it under control.

Tom Harris2026-06-20T11:23:56.000Z

yeah nah they work hard but this happens every year and we still don't learn

Jordan Bell2026-06-20T11:28:56.000Z

anyone else think this is suspicious? 'brought under control' at 7pm after a dry week… classic council pinch point

Stuff2026-06-20T11:48:56.000Z

get stuffed mate, some of us actually live near the fire zones

Stuff2026-06-20T11:56:56.000Z

What a load of shit. It's still burning out east but they just want everyone to go back to sleep.

Jordan Bell2026-06-20T12:21:56.000Z

typical council spin. saw the smoke from my place still going at 10pm

Just wait until summer. This is only the start. Council cuts to fire services are gonna bite us in the arse.

Huge thanks to the volunteers and firefighters. Legends every one of them. 🙏

Sky Murphy2026-06-20T14:32:56.000Z
