A typical fire ban day with firies busy fighting wildfires.

The morning started with fire crews mopping up yesterday's Berry Springs fire ground.

Reports of wildfires at Leaning Tree in Beatrice Hill area and south of Batchelor in the Eva Valley/Cameron Downs area.

The latter fire was attended by units from Bushfires NT, BART, Cox Peninsula, Livingstone and Manton Brigades. Aerial support by two helicopters with Bambi buckets, one spotter chopper and an Air Tractor water bomber. We were also joined briefly by a fire appliance from Batchelor Fire & Emergency Response Group (FERG) while the Cameron Downs houses were under threat.

A typical fire ban day, with hot, dry windy conditions and fully cured gamba grass. Winds were gusty and continually changing direction. Houses were threatened and an orchard burnt. The orchard was neglected and may have been abandoned.

Fire crews will be out mopping up tomorrow.
