[QUOTE="garnethawkins, post: 29356, member: 540"] Hey again Ausearch, was at training yesterday with the rfs and posed that question to the group, turns out those emergency space blankets are highly flammable so as a protection thing they are completely useless if you are concerned about keeping something in your kit in case of a bush fire they said your best bet is to carry one of those emergency fire blankets, they're cheap and you can get them from woolies. In a situation where you can see that a fire is heading your way your best option is to high tail it to a nearby open area away from any trees or long grass, get down low, cover yourself with the fire blanket and pray. HOPEFULLY though no one here ever has to face a situation like that. Stay safe everyone! [/QUOTE]
