How many members do you have?
There's about 10 active members, and about 20 on the books.
What's been your toughest fire?
Probably the latest one was a tree that took three days to get it out. It just kept on coming. It was a lightning strike and it just went straight down into the root system. We had to keep going down to it. It was a fair distance in.
Why do you volunteer?
I just think it's a part of the farming culture to volunteer. I've been doing it for 30 years and if you don't get volunteers, you don't get people looking after your property. We've got that many properties up here of people that live in Sydney, you've got to do it.
What does your community mean to you?
I would say I love all the different people around here and the different lifestyles.
