Western Australia was in a state of chaos on 6th February, 2022. Fire and emergency services were not only dealing with previous bushfire incidents in Denmark and Bridgetown, but two huge blazes ignited in the Corrigin and Shackleton areas and east of Narrogin which left a trail of devastation across these farming communities.

Angus Armstrong farms at Noman's Lake. More than half of his property was severely impacted by the Narrogin bushfire which in total burned through 18 000 ha of farm and bushland.
