We were on our way to the 1000 steps at the dandenong ranges.
Saw just a little smoke in the background, not far where we were nitending to go. Police had blocked a section of the road off and started to divert traffic as the CFA had hoses running across the raod.
At this stage there was no urgency or hint of anything big but within about 5 minutes all the bush was on fire, right down to the edge of the road.
Radient heat was so hot that the camera was getting too hot to hold and our skin felt like it was burning.
We didn't realize the extent of the blazes here and at other parts until we got home and saw the news
