I have just read our fire crews have got it down to 6 fires in Victoria. Some of these are still risky and the fire fighters have been working in unusual circumstances and conditions. This represents an awesome effort from our fire fighters. They have had to roster people on and off and swap fire crews from interstate. I believe we are also going to get a hand from 60 fire fighters from Canada and the US. We really need it. We only have 20 million people in this country and nowhere near enough fire fighters for the size and ferocity of these fires. All the experienced fire fighters have been saying they have never seen anything like it. So these are not just Australian bush fires. Our fire fighters have been tested to the max and to their credit they are getting the better of these fires.
I hope we are all going to shout them a beer when it's all over and they've had a chance to go home, shower and have a rest.
