we were planning to stick out a major bushfire that was approaching but we had the truck loaded just in case, done prep work etc then my (f) partner, who was a firefighter, was called by her Captain and he said they are pulling the strike team out as its too dangerous… i literally said " we are leaving now " and we did and drove though the fire.

Three times in my life I've been in proximity to large bushfires, alone with no transport. I did the whole routine with stopping gutters and getting hoses ready, but in a couple of those places there wasn't much water pressure to work with. Lucky the wind never turned in my direction.
