Bushfires are terrible - but they bring out some of the great moments in some people.
“Lucky homeowner reveals heroic effort of neighbour that fought off devastating bushfires...”
After Bush-41 and then Bush-43, we could sure use him to fight-off Jeb. We DO NOT need anymore Bush’s.
I have often wondered if it would be possible to come up with a simple device that could cover a house with foam in a few minutes. I’m sure there’d be a market.
A similar thing happened about 10 years ago near Woodland Park Colorado.
A US Forest Service worker, angered by a lost love IIRC, started a forest fire that burned hundreds of thousands of acres.
Naturally, while it was burning a number of homes were threatened.
One group of neighbors banded together, armed themselves with rifles and shotguns to fight off the Sheriff, US Forest Service, and the local Fire Department.
After a tense showdown, the enemies of the neighborhood retreated, and left them alone to fight the fire.
They saved all of their houses.
