At 1600hrs today Winmalee 1A, Winmalee Pumper Bravo, Winmalee PC, Rescue Pumper 445, police and police rescue responded to reports of smoke along singles ridge road. Crews found a large area of logs burning well within burnt ground. Crews from Winmalee spent 3 hours blacking out the area and making it safe.
Update:
The tree in question was a very large tree which had been burning inside until the top of the tree eventually fell off and started to burn within the burnt ground. It is unlikely that this was the result of anything other than nature.

Correct Aidan. A number of these bigger trees are also starting to fall causing small fires to start within burnt area on days like today.
