Wonderful Web Man Doug Fighting Fires
This week Victoria in Australia has been devastated by bush fires with the death toll expected to exceed 200. My thoughts and love go to everyone affected. If you have lost your home or loved ones, please let us know. Our community will find a way to help you.
I’m a long way from the fires but we are still affected.
Douglas, my husband, has been away fighting fires in NSW. Thank heavens he is not holding a hose. Instead he has been assigned to the command centre, planning where the troops on the ground go. He comes home tonight and then will be on standby to relieve the troops in Victoria who must be exhausted.

Here is a sneak peak behind the scenes. Doug Beckers,Tony Horwood, Paul McBain and Pamela Leach all looking at the 1900ha “Three Ways” Fire planning map
A Positive Story
There is so much heartache at the moment, I thought I would share a heart warming story from the fire front. If you click on the image you can view a video of a firefighter finding a burnt Koala in the bush. The Koala is so exhausted he drinks 3 bottles of water straight from the firefighter’s drink bottle.
If you would like to help, the best charity at the moment is The Red Cross.
Cheers, Janet
