Luckily the occupies where in the main house, I had a good crew turn up, plus backed up from Albany perms, too far gone to save but saved exposures..couldn't get back to sleep as sun was rising by the time we'd finished, so long Christmas Day, as I'm sure your was also....Gary

Spent 4 hours yesterday arvo/early evening chasing 2 big front end loaders thru the scrub in the grader cutting firebreaks.
luckily the weather was much cooler than it has been.
With the machinery cutting breaks and many farmers fire units we got it under control before dark.They would have been out there all nite back burning unburnt pockets and watching for escapes.
WHY do low lifes do this ****????

Australian Institute of Criminology - Firefighter arson : part 1 : incidence and motivesQuote:
The NSW police service's Strikeforce Tronto investigated some 1,500 suspicious fires from 2001 to 2004. It resulted in 50 people being charged, 11 of them volunteer firefighters.

When a firefighter turns arsonist, it will usually be out of a desire for excitement or as a way of gaining attention and recognition. A firefighter craving stimulation or activity may start a fire before reporting for duty. There are cases of firefighters who have started a fire, reported it and attended the fire with their unit in the hope of being seen as the hero who saves the community. In other cases the motive may be to gain self-esteem through a demonstration of power and control. Some fires may be lit by aggrieved firefighters who feel they have been treated badly in some way by their organisation or community. There will also be a few who start fires for profit, such as those seeking overtime payments or those paid on a piece-basis when they attend fires.
