Cool Change

20131217 002The Department of Parks and Wildlife are taking advantage of the cool change after the heatwave to carry out some fuel reduction burns in the forests in the southwest. In addition to the clouds, there was a definite smoke haze in the morning.

These are the 4 sites I check when I smell smoke to know where the fires are and  if they are planned or otherwise.  The fires were all active burns around the timber towns  of Manjimup and Walpole.
