Meangora Trig was involved but I don't know about the property we visited there.<br /><br />The fire fighters - particularly the Bush Fire Brigades - generally do an excellent job when fighting fires. However I feel that the RFS has a number of elements of underlying corporate culture that could do with modification.

All else is "fuel".<br />Alas - they don't value our Environment. <br />Cheers<br />DenisDenis Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10031115992910569116noreply@blogger.com
