An open post for all Mexicans :)

Agree wholeheartedly Footy. Take care wherever you are and whatever your involvement.

Interesting comment on these guys. Two weeks ago there were a lot of Mexican and Deep North fireys at the fires in Central West NSW. Now there are trucks & crews from NSW and crews from NZ at the Victorian fires.

Its a big commitment being a firey. Hats off to them all.

Yep, I agree - we are a staunch crowd when it comes to helping each other in dire circumstances, brings tears to my eyes knowing what the people affected by bushfire are going through. The Canberra fires came to our boundary and stopped, many many more were not so lucky...

Yet with the benifit of all our experience once again the greenies who rant & rave & give all manner of excuses to prevent controlled burn offs to reduce the fuel levels run & hide when the fires take over.

This time though with the Army assisting with logistical support & the early help from NZ & interstate vollunteers one can only hope that they will stop this fire before it gets to the coast.
I'm not a religious bloke but I pray for devine intervention and the safety of those involved.

We owe the vics a big debt in the central west of NSW . I was returning from Mudgee last Saturday and must have passed 40 RFC fire vehicles on their way home. I was facinated watching the water bombers refilling with water. It was like a miltary operation. Apparantly these turbo props can carry 3 ton of water .
At lest we have modern technogoly on our side these days
Cheers and keep safe firies
