jasper croft is in the lead vehicle. it was quite a sunny day.hat large smoke cloud. kayle barton is in one behind. we were driving along, we could see a long way into the distance there was considerable amount of smoke, so we knew something was going on down there but we didn't know to what extent. it turned from day to night within a matter of seconds. we started experiencing an ember attack. when we proceeded down the road, the wind started to change direction and we noticed the ember attack was getting heavier and faster. it wasn't till we got around the final bend that my driver just said, "no way, this is way too dangerous, "we can actually see the fire front now." we were about 50 metres behind the lead truck and i heard the lead truck, which was jasper and his crew, they were putting messages through that what they could see 50 metres ahead was quite dangerous and they were going to retreat. and, at that moment, myself and my crew, we saw exactly what they could see. we saw the flames had turned and were coming straight towards our convoy
