Why I Joined Fire/EMS
I want to spend my time doing something invigorating, fun, with a certain sense of comradery... hiking and backpacking in the great NW with Search and Rescue was a great start.. My fire department is always recruiting for volunteers, and its here that I love to spend my time.... 3rd Generation FireFighter...Life is good!

Hi Trisha, I am safe this year. I am on strike team duty this sunday. We are off to the other side of the state to fight. Washington the same size as Victoria but Victoria has Cali vegetation and weather. Please read my blog on my profile

i have to back up what jeff has said this is going to down as the worst fire incident on record in Australian history. I am lucky enough to have not seen anything like whats happening down south(victoria)in real life on the fireground, they say these a 1 in 100yr fires but they seem to be happening much more often than that. My brigade and my shire (county/town) have had many of our firefighters singed up ready to go down to Victoria since Sunday,unfortunately they have not been called upon as of yet, we had two big fires in our own shire and next shire friday,saturday and sunday,all are now burning in containment lines. but yes thankyou for your concern, our thoughts are with the victims of this great disaster.

Thankyou for your concern. Luckily I am on long service leave until April 20 and live about 450 miles from the scene of those fires. In terms of loss of life and property this is the worst incident in Australian fire history. I have only seen incidents near to this magnitude twice in my 34 years as a firefighter in 1980 and 1983 when South Australia and Victoria simultaneously sufferred bushfires of firestorm proportions. Incidentally I am completely out of my comfort zone at bushfires as I am primarily a structural fire and rescue officer.

JJ
