Wazza, haven't heard or missed it, ....how goes the "Fire" situation down under?

[Wazza]

All under control I think. We had some rain which saved the day. Still a lot of homes lost and insurance premiums too high for some people to insure against fire. I guess it like those in the USA who live in the Tornado Belt can't understand any of them Oz or USA
