ter06 Posted September 28, 2013 Report Posted September 28, 2013 There is currently a bushfire at the Palm Beach headland. There are reports of people trapped near the lighthouse as the path has been cut off. Hope everyone will be ok.
rockstarrr08 Posted September 28, 2013 Report Posted September 28, 2013 Here's an image from the offical facebook page too: Hope the fire gets put real soon before it gets bad
cadyctslover Posted September 28, 2013 Report Posted September 28, 2013 What terrible news ! Another photo: twitter.com/Louise_Bowes/status/383844914313719808/photo/1 Hope everyone is ok, and the lighthouse buildings survive. I was there only 2 months ago and it's a beautiful area.
ter06 Posted September 28, 2013 Report Posted September 28, 2013 It's scary for the people trapped there, I've done that walk too and there is literally no where to go if the path is cut off
Freakie42 Posted September 28, 2013 Report Posted September 28, 2013 Nooooo This is so so sad. Hope everyone is safe.
John Posted September 28, 2013 Report Posted September 28, 2013 The Alert has been downgraded from Emergency which is the highest alert to the next one down which is Watch and Act.
JosieTash Posted September 28, 2013 Report Posted September 28, 2013 WOAH !!!! Agree that it's such a beautiful area. I knew that there is bushfires waaaaaaaay happening in NSW at the mo, but i didn't realise that they were Palm Beach way !!! Thoughts of when "Summer Bay House" was destroyed in a bushfire around 8 years ago !!!
Jezz Posted September 28, 2013 Report Posted September 28, 2013 That is terrible to witness I hope everyone will be ok in the end and the fire can be stopped before it spreads further.
