Firefighters Battle Victorian Floods

I was very sad to see how the floods covered a large areas equals FRANCE & GERMANY together and have destroyed lives and properties but at the other hand when i saw how the people come together as one to help each other it was amazing !!!.

Alison, the teamwork across the state has been outstanding! I'm the Deputy Controller of my local SES and spent most of last week as the night shift Divisional Commander running out of a local CFA HQ.
At it's peak, we had up to 20 CFA/SES crews working day and night responding to floods and tree jobs.
A great effort by all...
