Gratitude for Firefighters

I just want to express my personal thanks to the men and women firefighters in Australia, many of whom are volunteers, risking their lives to save others.

I'd like to thank the foreign 'firies' too - I know we have crews from California, Canada, NZ and other places as well.

Prayers for those who've lost their lives and/or everything they own
God bless you all.

I too am grateful for those who put their lives on the line to keep the rest of us safe.

Adding my thanks, they are all doing a remarkable job and are facing such extreme conditions. Thanks as well to the volunteers who are coming in to aid the displaced people and animals.

And don't forget Arizona. Had a story on the local news about the volunteers from Tucson, they were helping the ranchers, protect their property and rescue the local wildlife. Wish we could send more help.

I watched a clip on the news of the California firefighters arriving in Australia, they were met with cheers. It made me proud of my state, and also made me cry.

Sending so much love to all of our Australian family.❤️

Every day more wonderful people are joining us, and earn our profound thanks.

Thanks 1984Toy.

Praying for those affected in Australia. Devastating.

Much gratitude to the firefighters, who risk their lives to save lives and property. Their contribution is immeasurable, invaluable.

I've worked just a few wildfires. When on the big fires, it starts getting old after two or three days or so. After a couple of weeks, it gets incredibly old.

Thoughts and prayers to those affected.
