Fire trucks

Fire trucks
With the dreadful bushfires at present, this image from some years ago seems relevant. At the time I was a member of our local volunteer Rural Fire Service and we had been called out for a (fortunately) small local fire. Here the trucks are filling from a small farm dam. It's worth recording that there are something like 7,000 volunteer rural fire fighters in the state of NSW alone.

That is so sad and worrying George one assumes climate change is playing a part in this.

Deepest sympathies, George. We can certainly relate here--it's been another bad fire season in California, with thousands of acres and dozens of homes lost. Late fall has become the worst fire season (tho it lasts all year)--the vegetation is maximally dry, before the winter rains, and strong katabatic winds blow out to the Pacific, driven by cold air masses inland. The Santa Ana winds of SoCal are just one example.

As others have said, we have seen the devastating bush fires on TV. To see them affecting some cities like Sydney, must be quite frightening. I hope they are soon under control. My best wishes.
