We've had some devastating fires in my community just recently.
We were very fortunate in that the fire did not spread close to us, but others fared badly.
Numerous homes and outbuildings were lost, fencing destroyed and feed in paddocks that was already scarce due to the drought was burnt to dust.
No people lost their lives, although no doubt some cattle and native wildlife wouldn't have been so lucky.
The efforts of our local and not so local rural fire fighters who assisted in battling this blaze, along with the water bombing planes and helicopters and the masses of volunteers who helped in many ways are truly heroic.
Thankyou to all of you.

A beautiful card, it's simplicity in design is stunning. Living in the UK we don't see wild fires but I do see the devastation it causes on the news, it's heart breaking and I agree everyone battling the fires are very heroic and fearless at getting everything under control x
ReplyDeleteLovely card and a lovely thank you.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful thank you card and very striking. Firefighters are truly heroes for the job they do. They go in when we go out. I'm glad to hear you are okay but sad for all those affected by the fires. It's wonderful there was no loss of human life.

ReplyDeleteFires are so devastiing. We have a lot of them in the summer in our interior. People loose everything ... their homes, their livlihood. It's so sad. What a lovely way to thank all the people that work so hard and put their lives on the line to fight those horrendous fires. Beautiful card, my friend! xx
