The fire started on November 25, 2019 from a lightning strike and went on to kill three people, destroy hundreds of homes and burn through 500,000 hectares (1.25million acres).
People lived with the threat of this fire until mid February 2020.
We were evacuated for a week but our home was saved due to the bravery of the men and women of the NSW Rural Fire Service with flames coming to within a meter of our house. We lost fences, a machine shed and all our beautiful bushland, since mostly recovered.
The smell of smoke still haunts us and our neighbours today.
