The fire has got into the north face of the open cut mine.
The same thing happened 5 years ago and took two weeks to put
out. There is thick smoke over town every day. There are
reports on the news that there is a high Co content in the
smoke so free breathing masks are being given out to all
residents.
Also it has been advised that residents go elsewhere until
the fire is out! The Emergency Relief Fund is giving out
$500 to all pensioners and people on Health benefit cards
to use to leave the Morwell for a week.
Lena got it so I went and applied and got it too. But so
many people were getting it out of the Westpac ATM that
it broke down and I had to go and get it from Midvalley on
the Friday 28th Feb.
