I am a volunteer firefighter with the Country Fire Authority of Victoria, Australia - another place where wildfire is a constant threat. I heard about this disaster a few minutes ago through CFA sources - it is spreading among us.

We feel we've lost brothers. We feel for the loss, and those left behind.

We learn a creed here and I want to share it if I may.

When lives are in danger
Though your own is in doubt
You still have to go in
You don't have to come out.

These brave firefighters did all they could until they could do more.

Salute.

What a true yet sad poem, NM! Prayers for all the families of those who lost their HERO in AZ.

You know the danger - you know the commitment. Prayers for you and your team, and all those who risk their lives to save property and dwellings from devastating fires!
