  1. I want to be a Volunteer to help to fight fire. I don’t really know who to contact & the procedure. I am a retiree but I am physically fit. From Singapore 🇸🇬

  2. you would think people would care wouldnt you but city people in Australia do not… they are still going ahead with New Years Eve fire works in the middle of heat waves, catastrophic fire conditions and with fire fighters still fighting the fires… now no matter what the cause it is the disrespect for those fighting the fires, those who have lost everything and those who have died… the cities dont care, it is disgusting and if they dont care about the people what makes the world think they care about the animals…

    They say that Nero played the fiddle while the city burned
    Australias countryside is on fire and the cities are not concerned.
    The divide is greater than it’s ever been before,
    as fire fighters struggle to keep away from flames that roar.

  3. Our planet is on fire. I'm working to support Bernie Sanders and a Green New Deal to combat climate change or at least lessen its devastating effects. America needs to set the example for the world and LEAD.

  4. What about reporting how australians are just leaving their livestock out in the heat with no water or food to die a long and painful death?? I will never forgive or forget. Humans caused it but the other animals pay the price.
