Today is International Firefighters Day and we’d like to say a huge thanks to all our Firefighters - you’re the best in the galaxy.
May the 4th be with you.

Im a Voluntary rural fire force controller and have stayed at home and on call ( mostly sober ) now for the last 15 years of Christmas and New Year periods.
Our population increases 10 fold at this time of year and this is the first year in my memory ( east coast south island ) that we haven't had a restricted or prohibited rural fire season.
Its generally been a little wetter and cooler than usual .... makes a change from a drought ... but during droughts even the idiots seem to understand and pull their heads in !
So Im expecting a hell of a lot of bonfires and recreational rubbish fires to get out of control this Christmas / New Year.
Best regards to all other emergency services volunteers.
yup my area and commitments just got enlarged some what.
