[QUOTE="RM Outback, post: 474944, member: 7093"] It's pretty bad down there :N: spoke to a mate yesterday who was busy moving stock and getting ready for the onslaught. His wife and daughter had already evacuated, haven't heard any more other than the news reports. The volunteers are priceless :Y: :power:. Our daughters partner told me of Greenies tying themselves to bulldozers and excavators in the black range that were called for to help fight the fires and put in fire breaks :mad: The machines didn't go but the operators did. These people even though their payed contractors are the unsung heroes :clap: :clap: :clap: of these large fires without them it would be impossible to contain any fire in some of this country. I've met some of these blokes and they know the steep timber country like the back of their hand, their multi generation timber cutters and the right people for the job. Not all of the fires are in steep country but where it is these machines and operators are invaluable. [/QUOTE]
