In conversation: The fear of the ping of the fire app

Ute Wegmann and her partner Kevin have set up a hobby farm in the well-known King Valley wine-growing region, northeast of Melbourne. There is now a risk of fire, which has even increased significantly since our conversation yesterday. The fire hasn’t reached their properly yet, but they are getting ever closer and the fire app keeps pinging with warnings. The question of whether you stay and fight for your house or leave the area is difficult and depends on many circumstances. However, if the authorities ask for evacuation, you have to follow.
