Fire Fighters overrun by flames

R.I.P to all the fallen fire fighters.
Volunteer boys as well.

Tragic.
So much respect to them doing the hard work for all us.
 
Apart from decent financial compensation to cover the personal costs of doing what they do, and maybe some kind of tax relief I'd like to see Shane Fitzsimmons the RFS Commissioner made Australian of the Year. The country owes him and his team an enormous debt of gratitude.

Would much prefer it go to one of his volunteers.
 
The Mayor of Sydney Clover Moore ,

@GladysB

and

@ScottMorrisonMP

all think the fireworks will be good international publicity for Sydney ...the reverse will be the case with a celebration of fire whist our nation burns and climate policy ignored..it will present us as fools.

Former MP Tony Windsor understands it.

It's hard to be grateful the weather has aided your situation when you know that others have had to deal with a bloody nightmare because of the same weather pattern. Thoughts are with everyone dealing with this disaster currently.

Great attitude on display here. Thankful that the winds of change have blown favourably in your direction, but concern for those that are now in it's path. Hopefully it doesn't turn back towards you.

Yeah I agree the actual volunteer firefighters deserve it, not him. I was disgusted when I heard him on the radio about a week ago saying they shouldn't get paid. He spends too much time cavorting with politicians now, he's lost touch with the people underneath him.
 
Interesting that luvvies suddenly lost all interest in Abbott? They must be busy reporting of Zali, Albo, Tanya, Sea-Patrol, Di Natale, and Penny heroic sacrifices?

Have always been happy to acknowledge his community efforts in the RFS and otherwise, despite deploring a lot of his policies and beliefs.
