WARNING 100s of photos may take sometime to download.
A gallery has been added to our site which will have a day by day coverage of the fires on KI, and will consist of collected members photographs taken during December, as well as other information as it comes to hand.
More contributions of pictures are welcome, and it is hoped to have a snapshot of all fire locations including the huge contingent of volunteers, both from the fire services and community groups involved.
