**Such was the heat** of the oncoming inferno that trees more than 100 metres ahead began to smoulder.
Only once in recent years, during 2004, **has a town of this size had to be evacuated** because of forest fires.

Into these vehicles **climbed the sick and elderly**, before they headed off to safety across the river.

Residents with cars left by mid morning, **as did all non-essential police officers**.

Hardly **had the evacuation been completed** when the wind changed direction ...

Soon after that **were complaints heard** from some residents.

'At no time **did the fires pose** a real threat', said one local man.

'I didn't want to leave my home, **nor did** most of my neighbours.'

So upset **are some elderly residents** that they are threatening to complain to their MP.

'**Had we not taken** this action, lives would have been put at risk.
Only when the fires have moved well away from the town **will residents be allowed** to return to their homes.'
