How many members do you have?
We've got about 10, I think.
What's been your toughest fire?
Many years ago I fought one down the back of Wyangala Dam, about 25 years ago. That was a pretty bad fire. Very inaccessible, trying to get over. Winds changed, made it almost impossible. The thing that I remember about that was the spot fires lighting probably about a kilometer in front of the main fire. That was a bit unsettling.
Why do you volunteer?
It's basically for our own country. It's protection for our own land more than anything else. Not really interested in vehicle accidents and things like that at all.
What does your community mean to you?
Everything. There's no other answer to that.
