Chrissy Eve Fire
Just got back from a fairly big job out of area in SE Melbourne.
Martin Luther, saw your brigade tanker there, were you there?

Re: Chrissy Eve Fire
Just bumping: My Chistmas Eve was eventful. At about teatime, our brigade was paged for our ute (which has a firefighting capability) for a job out of area - in a rec reserve.
Myself and another bloke crewed it down there, a 20minute drive with blues and twos - very strange going through red lights and having vehicles pulling over.
I ended in the middle of it and got soaked by the heli-tac dumping a load of water on us.
I was not there for our guests that evening and a mate had to cook on the BBQ for me, but got back in time for Christmas carols with the rest of the brigade smelling of smoke with blackened face...

Just want to say that you CFA guys - people like you, Martin Luther, and Hel's husband have my full admiration.
