This is the southern edge of the fireline after a blaze engulfed an estimated 20 HA of the northern slope of Wireless Hill on 27 March 2008. 24 hours earlier the hill had been ablaze from a bushfire lit by a firebug. Water bombing helicopters and ground teams prevented the fire from spreading further. It can be seen that there is a lot of fuel in the unburnt section. The flamibility of this native bush reserve is enhanced by South African veldt grass. The picture was taken in a northwesterly direction.

For more photos of the fire, water bomber helicopters and the scorched aftermath 24 hours later see two photo essay folders at Paul R. Weaver's Picasa site.

For more written observations go to his Fremantlebiz blog for 27 March 2008 and 28 March 2008.
