We have just heard that as of around 2pm this afternoon the fire was still to the west of Wallers Road.
This is very good news as it means Wallers Road is a good accessible fire line for fighting the fire. Let's hope that it is still to the west of the road when it cools down this evening and the fire may reduce enough for crews to get in and tackle it.
Two helicopter water bombers have been flying continuously for a few hours, flying out to replenish their water somewhere to the east.
The Helidon Hills Smokespotter group will continue to post here for the duration of this fire, so as to make any updates we get available to the widest possible range of local people.
If you have any updates on the situation please send to smokespotters@gmail.com
