.......to help Aussis. In a move that shows the greatest compassion and consideration for their traditional sporting enemies, the Kiwi firefighters have arrived to help our firefighters in a huge bushfire that could engulf a fifth of the state of Victoria.
The fire front is so dangerous that firefighters can only fight it from teh flanks as they expect very high winds to sweep the flames at high speeds southward.

I really feel for these firefighters because the temperature in northern victoria will be in the forties, and god knows what it will be when these guys go in - it will be like going to hell.

Let's hope they all come out of this safely. Thanks Kiwis - you're the best!!
