Bushfires next door!

I don't know.  You go shopping, come back and there are fire trucks everywhere...
and there is a blazing hot bush fire going on in your neighbours garden.

Going out the back you see it is just as bad, smoke everywhere.  Just after I'd washed my shirts.

Fire crews damp down after the blaze.

Then we find out its all routine, planned and part of the firebreak maintenance plans.
That's OK then.  But I bet the sods wont wash my shirts.
