7. Yes. Canada sent firefight safety coordinators to Australia. That would be exhausting

to be saying who should evacuate and where to fight the fires, and to coordinate ground and air crews. Very stressful. I think we are giving a break to the Australians coordinators because they use a system from canada so all are familiar with the protocol. And we are sending firefighters out to the front lines this week, i think. And you just know that those exhausted Australians and Americans will be itching to fight after only a day off and one good sleep. Such a horrible thing to lose three brave Americans. I hope they are extra careful with the planes. Vibes that it rains again.
