Hashtag stillonfire
I went on twitter for the first time in a month and had people who I genuinely thought were pretty in touch with the world saying things like; Oh, thereβs still fires down there? And, βDidnβt the rain sort it all out?β Weβve had 8mm of rain in the whole month. We need about 200mm to begin to extinguish the fires.Β
Yes, southern New South Wales, and some of Victoria, is still burning, even after the hashtag has stopped trending.Β
This is testament to the ongoing grinding nature of the fires. Today is our fifth βfire dayβ - I think it is anyway, Iβve kind of lost count. People canβt easily distinguish between one fire day and another one, or if they do, itβs very much based on their location. People around Moruya are talking about the big fire day in Moruya with βthat strong Norwester that nearly took the hospitalβ.
For people from the Bay to Broulee, there was one fire day - NYE, and then it was more or less over for them for fire, because they are now living in a charred black landscape. For them, however, itβs taken weeks to get the services back on, especially power. So for those people, who live in the most suburban, built-up (and expensive) part of the shire, the aftermath of the fires was learning to deal with the fairly rapid decline in living standards. No power, limited water, no communication at allβ¦β¦and for many, they could not easily get in and out of the area - the roads in and out were manned and people had to show a rates notice or licence to get through the road block. The short version is, these communities became quite isolated, and it was interesting talking to people during that time - those who I did see - were clearly very much living in a small community, just talking to one another, unaware of what was happening in the rest of the shire. It reminded me of a large campsite at Christmas.Β
Some people quickly installed standalone power systems. I spoke to a person from Simmark in Batemans Bay, the contractor that sells and installs Tesla powerwalls - they had been flat out installing stand alone solar systems. It surprised me how much peopleβs freezers were part of their every lives. We have virtually nothing in our freezer except ice-blocks and pastry. I realised that people βstock up their freezersβ and commonly have a lot of food in there. I think this is generational - the population of the northern part of the shire is strongly βboomer skewedβ.
I think this is another thing about these fires - the shire is diverse, there are farmers, hippies living βin the hillsβ and self funded retirees on the coastal fringes. There is a strong working class coastie culture around Batemans Bay, and a strong rural/country culture around Moruya. In between there is a rapidly gentrifying middle class area, and a few areas where the average house price is about a million dollors. Ridge road, one of the most expensive areas in the shire, lost almost all of its houses. The fires have been quite indiscriminate, and people have found themselves at evacuation centres with people they otherwise would not have had much contact with at all.Β
Moruya-town has a lot of older retired people whoβve lived in the area all their lives, often on properties, whereas the elderly population of Broulee to the Bay is more skewed towards people whoβve retired to the coast from Sydney and Canberra (especially the latter). This makes a difference, because many of the people in the south of the shire had more family connections in the area to rely on, whereas those whose families (children and grandchildren) live in the cities, were more easily isolated, and had to rely on services more. The irony of this, of course, is that this latter group are generally more wealthy, yet this did not translate to social capital. These factors are important when I talk about who is leaving the area - outward migration - something Iβm getting to soon.
What did we do on our βfire dayβ today? We spent a lot of time checking the wind forecast. Weβve realised that this is the most important factor. We tried to ignore some of the more panicky messages coming from authorities and the doomsayers on Instagram; βHere it comes! Stay safe everyone!β
Which brings me to my next point - the one and only way to distinguish people whoβre living through the fires and those who havenβt arenβt is the phrase, βstay safeβ. People whoβre actively confronting the reality of potentially fatal fires every week donβt tell one another to βstay safeβ - it feels somewhat insulting, the throwaway line of 2020, the new, βThoughts and Prayersβ. People are actually trying to βstay safeβ, in fact, theyβre completely consumed with thinking about it.Β
Every fire day everybody has to make their own judgements about whether they stay and defend or leave, and if they leave, when they leave. And if they stay, how bad is it? Do you stay for ember attack today but leave for a fire front? How confident are you about the wind direction and speed over the course of the day, compared to the relative humidity and dryness factor? At what point do you get the βgo bagβ out and frighten the kids? When do you find the dog collar and put it on the dog? Fill the gutters? Put on your jeans and boots? Find the safety goggles? Every single fire day we go through the same thing - fill up water bottles, place big containers around the house, fill the gutters, clean everything up, put everything away, get the ladder out, screw the iron over the vulnerable windowsβ¦.all these jobs must be done in the heat of the day, with urgency but not panic.
I wondered many times how many people had hurt themselves falling off the roof. I bet itβs heaps - older Australians with swollen ankles from congestive heart failure or diabetes, staggering around on the scorching hot metal roof in their new Blundstones that donβt quite fit because theyβd run out of your size at the Produce store and you just have to take what you can get.Β
