I was in the Mundaring shire bushfire brigade in WA in the 80s early 90s . I remember 1991 was a particularly bad year for fires in WA we had a great bunch of volunteers back then we bought most of our own kit and one of our crew built a pump run by an old Holden engine On the back of an old Bedford for knocking fires out in the tops of trees it was very affective . I have a picture somewhere of us playing cricket against the Conservation and land management Team on rare summer weekend off ,I’m sure you’ll enjoy the same great team spirit we had . Sorry to hear about your mate Take care and good luck thanks Fus969

Gary, well done. The perfect response to the fires and to Peter's accident. Kerry Thank you auster. I very much hope Peter will be able to post here again soon. I understand he finds it hard to type as the accident makes that process very difficult.

January 20th, 2020.... It's time to show active support .
My local Rural Fire Service will be holding its first volunteer training session at its magnificently named "Wallaby Joe" facility.
Training starts at 6.30pm tonight.
I will be there.... It has been a long process but I am pleased it is done. Now the real work begins.... Congratulations well done. Could do with you and your fellow Firefighters out here in Colorado we have 7 wildfires blazing one at over 60,000 acres no containment another approaching 50,000 acres with no containment. It is very hot and dry the monsoon rains didn't happen and the snow is forecast to arrive later this year. Going to be a long summer. Thankyou britmog. Australia was very grateful for the support U.S. firefighters provide during the last bush fire season. COVID will make this a more difficult season but all of us in Oz ask you to stay safe and well. britmog,I have been watching the fires in your area via TV coverage - Not good I understand Australia has sent 55 fire fighters over so I hope that is of some help. Stay safe, all of you

Just realised why Trump doesn’t wear a mask- wouldn’t help as he only speaks from his backside!!!

My Brigade was placed on standby late yesterday afternoon and Sunday will be the first time I have attended a meeting of the Taree Antique & Classic Car Club in full firefighter kit - ready just in case. It could be game on for the Australian summer

I hope it is not as desperate as last summer was for you!
Have you had a chat to Peter (RubyMorgan) lately?

What do the experts predict for this summer? Not as hot and prone to bush fires as last, I hope. Good luck over the next couple of months. OH. a final point: the CO  VID virus cannot survive fires.... !!
