Hello... We are composing a tribute song for the anniversary of the black Saturday fires.. We are sampling some real sounds and are looking for any news reels or commentary from the events.. Could you be of any help?

True Heros I experienced a fire just out of ballarat in mt Helen and I thought that was bad but to experience black Saturday would have been 10000 times worse so I thank all of you volunteers and CFA who helped fight them fires on that eery day.

well done firies for yr brave effort putting out a huge fire when the strong winds make it even hotter and unbearble. i know how it feels have been there myself except the temp was only 3 degrees cooler but the hot winds made up for even hotter temps. horrible scary feeling.camping will never be the same. but it hasnt put me off appreciating the bush and mothers nature fury . we need to adapt whilst staying safe the best we can.

Thats not going to stop it, It will melt the wheels even from 50m away seeing as it gets to about 3000 degrees. people get cremated at 1000. If its that bad they carnt do much to stop it.

Hey whats the requirements for the job? I am thinking about such a career later on.

Most brigades have a different fire tanker (truck). The brigade I'm with currently has the newest model fire truck, which is equipped with heat shields around the windows and sprinklers around the outside of the tanker.
