I know there are some pretty good pictures of these fires, can anyone upload some of them? Would be much appreciated, thanks. -- Collingwood26 ( talk) 22:49, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
Great Thankyou!-- 124.189.200.75 ( talk) 05:21, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
The other wikipedia article (I have no idea what language it is!) has a photo from Flickr here. It apparently shows, a bit distantly, actual hillsides on fire. It also says "free to use". Taken from Hamilton, Same source, but closer up here. Can we? - 220 of Borg 10:42, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
Hi, Toni Fish here, owner the Repulse fire photo under discussion. I'm happy for it and any of the other photos I took of the fire (in my Flickr stream) to be used on Wikipedia. Cheers! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.208.234.17 ( talk) 07:05, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
Noticed that thee measurement is in hectares with acreage in brackets. Wouldn't it make sense to have it the other way around? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Count of Tuscany ( talk • contribs) 09:59, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

Just a question - are any of the other regular editors of this article locals? I ask because there have been several bushfires in Tasmania the last few days - the Forcett/Copping/Dunalley one is the "main" one as it is the largest one that is affecting people and property - 20,000 ha. There are several others:
Check this map for a guide - note that it will update over time so may not be of any use in a few days time - http://www.fire.tas.gov.au/Show?pageId=colGMapBushfires
I ask the question because some references to these other fires have worked their way into this article - which is fine, but it should be clear that they are separate. -- Chuq (talk) 06:23, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
Just a question are these fires still ongoing? -- 124.189.200.75 ( talk) 22:37, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
Yes I see now, there are still 40 fires burning uncontrolled and communities are still under threat, so not over yet.-- 124.189.200.75 ( talk) 03:02, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
Surely this cannot be an ongoing event??
