 So we went out to a little rural community of Wirawara and they had just a small community with a whole and a fire station and in there there had been 11 structures that had been burnt down and it was pretty devastating to see that because the area around there isn't too much different to where I live to see that and the fact that it's just fires just torn through there and wiped it all out it was pretty upsetting and like when you can see there's big houses that have been burnt down and then they're right next to other structures that have survived so you can see the people who have stayed and defended and the ones who have left which is great to see that people have a fire plan they put into action early and they're making sure they save their life. They've got resilience beyond what anything anyone could expect. They wanted us to go back to now and now they didn't want us to stick around in their local community so that we could protect a community that was yet to be impacted by fire and be in the right place if the time needed so they were appreciative that we came out but they were more thinking about and wanting to protect everyone else over themselves. Some of the people up there have lost their own personal houses and you know the community's been reduced to rubble so any help they get they're just really really appreciative and happy that the CFA family are there to help them in their time of needs. So I've been on strike teams with Dad before I've never been on one with my brother. When we stepped on the fire ground whether it is on a big campaign fire like we've just gone through or we hop in the car and we go down to the station for a fire call. When we work as a team it doesn't matter if I'm working with my brother or I'm working with any other member in our brigade or local brigades or from anywhere in the state you're going to treat them with the same amount of respect and you're going to want to make sure everyone's just as safe as each other. As a parent I'm extremely proud to have my boys or the whole family is part of the fire brigade. I've been on strike teams before with both of them individually but never together as a crew of three so I'm really really good be good few years time might be able to get my daughter coming along too. I know my girlfriend was very stressed about it and knowing where we were going and that we're going to be up there on a peak day so it was hard leaving them behind knowing that they were both upset. Well mum's had Dad go away for 25 plus years now and she's still gets worried when he goes away but to have her two boys go away at the same time it's a completely different feeling for them so it was something that we like you always make sure we're going to be safe but we made sure we try and kept communications up when we could and let them know that we're safe and all of that.
