A fire just east of Creewah is spreading quickly and threatening homes in the area of Tantawangalo Mountain Road. Bega Shire Council operations manager Ian Campbell said the surrounding communities have been preparing for today and were ready to evacuate. The Bureau of Meteorology said temperatures were peaking, with Bega hitting 40 degrees Celsius, and there is a potential for thunderstorms later today.

Why? To what? Just keep opening your mouth Scotty, plenty of gas bagging. Untapped resource.
