  As someone who was a volunteer with the QRFS during the Black Summer Fires, these fires were lifechanging to battle and nothing we had ever seen

  Interesting that the issue of fuel loads in the forests is never addressed.

  What cyclone Jasper revealed is just how greedy real estate agents are by selling houses on known floodplains as so many people lost their homes because of their greed. I was in Kuranda at the time and both our bridges got washed away at the billabong and the water came up to the top of the Barren Bridge which is a massive amount and the Barren Falls became a monster torrent. the good thing that came out of it was that it held back the government&apos;s plans for a cashless society as power and the wireless system crashed everywhere. Cash is king.

  Spin words mean nothing without action...I survived not 1 but 2 catastrophic personal fires during this time, &nbsp;I have fellow fire-fighter friends who were begging literally for equipment like boots, gloves, full face masks, water, food, respite &amp; a toilet break ...I cried as I heard this first hand and I cried when I heard them frantically on the radio asking to be relieved from the task that was a death trap, grown mens voices were quaking with fear, I heard others ask are we going to die, were is the help, why hasn&apos;t the bombers dropped yet for hours &amp; hours there lives were put in danger because there is no mandate for Police to force people of there land &amp; they were tasked to go get them up tracks, one way dirt roads, no safety zones or water... sent into the Fire storm, time &amp; time again ... &nbsp;this is why so many men &amp; women where broken, physical &amp; mentally, have life long physical &amp; mental health issues ... fix the system, its broken and all the media spin won&apos;t help
