Yes I did hear the Yank's say that did they bring there big bulky truck or the roll out TNT truck where they run down the side of a hill and blow up what is inline of the fire front......

The Belgrave fire is still burning this morning the area it is in is in one of the high risk area's that the group has on its risk plan,bombers did slow it down and crews have worked over night.... Well done to the crews and the locals ...

want to see the goodwill that the CFA and CFS (and all the other Volunteer Fire Services) have built up over the last 20 years disappear in a heartbeat......

from the Australian Newspaper website

Bushfire accused was volunteer firefighter

THE man accused of starting one of the deadly Victorian bushfires was a member of a country fire brigade whose members cheated death fighting the blaze.

The 39-year-old Churchill man, who was charged on Friday with arson causing death, joined the local Country Fire Authority brigade in the 1980s, The Australian reports.

The man is due to appear in Melbourne Magistrates Court today. He faces one charge of arson causing death, one charge of intentionally lighting a bushfire and one charge of possessing child pornography.

sad to see this as an outcome, I guess we are going to become like Scout Leaders who are all assumed to be pedophiles....guilty by association and public paranoia

But in that portion of the article doesn't indicate that the accused is still a member or not.....

I'm guessing he probably isn't......brigade might have thought him a bit odd, and got rid of him some time ago....!!

other sources & articles have been careful to state that he
is not a CFA member, & has been rejected from membership of
at least one if not several brigades.

The news that we never ever want to hear in the fire service has happened

An ACT Firefighter has lost his life in the victorian fires tonight, after a tree fell on a Fire Appliance.

Keep your thoughts..and prayers with the firefighters family and crew, and the rest of Victoria.

agree entirely Pip, but it is the headline that does the damage in this instance.

In fact The Australian was still leading with that headline and by-line when other Melb papers were following up with the fact that he had been applying to join since the 80's and kept getting knocked back. Responsible jounalism at its best
