Bush Fire Brigade Truck


Volunteers train in their own time to man these sturdy trucks which are ready to spring into action in times of Bushfire. Australia has a terrible history of these fires, most recently in Victoria on what is now referred to as the Black Saturday bushfires on 7 February 2009 173 people died and 414 were injured.

  1. Neat truck. We have bad brush fires here too, because it gets so dry, it doesn't take much to light things up.

  2. It's a risky job. I remember reading about this usually during our winter in January and February.
