Bush fire safety part of the come walk with me series

I will give some small videos on safety in the bush and this is the first of them . It is best not to get into a situation in the first place ...Some years ago there was a fire in the bush in the forests on the east coast of Tasmania The story goes that a bushy who worked all his life in the bush on bulldozers made a clearing with the doser and these officials from Hobart were there controlling the situation as a roaring fire descended on them . The officials wanted the go ahead to start a fire to protect all the people there to be given from Hobart. The fire was on the top of the next ridge and coming towards them and the old fellah pushed the official over and The burning torch set the bush alight and all were saved ..There was an enquiry into the incident and the dozer driver was fined for destroying the bush with his dozer and also with setting the bush alight. It didn't matter that he saved everyone's life that was there as well as his own...
