one of my best mates, who is in another cfs brigade locally....his sisters home's been burnt down in the bunyip ranges....
CFS would be silly to reject calls for help. sorry, dont give a damm that we've also got land to protect here...thats why we have 10,000 volunteers. We have NO major fire's, and VERY low FDI's.
We are here to protect, ourselves, our neighborhoods, our neighbours neighborhoods, our states neighborhoods and our interstates neighborhoods.
