Thank you to the CFA (country fire authority) and all its brave members. Thank you to all those amazing people, that contribute to the world's largest volunteer firefighting organisation. Without these regular, average Aussie's taking on this role, many of us in this State of Victoria, Australia would perish in fire season.

Thank God for these guys...I volunteered on a BLM firecrew in Nevada once...ONCE...Didn't have the sand to stick with it. It's rough, indeed.

I am concerned about Smeblee, he lives in an area hit hard by bushfire. I am hoping things are ok for him and his family.

Here's an even more amazing fact about these Firefighters...
97.5% of the people involved in the CFA organisation are volunteers. Supported by over 1400 paid staff, including over 500 career firefighters, providing emergency response and community safety programs throughout Victoria.
Risking thier asses to save yours...
Salute to these Brave Firefighters!
