Book excerpt: They can see the fire from thirty kilometers away as they approach the town of Narrabri, the air is thick with smoke and the remnants of burned timber and leaves are floating on the deceptively gentle breeze. If they listen carefully they can hear the monster breathing, sucking in oxygen from the air, they know from experience that this is not going to be easy, they have done it before and none of these battle hardened veterans in these crews are underestimating the challenge that is ahead of them. The action is set against the backdrop of Australia's largest ever wildfire burning through The Pilliga the largest area of natural scrub and old growth timber in New South Wales Australia. Asked for assistance by the N.S.W. Government forty firefighters from QFRA Queensland Fire & Rescue Authority answered the call and volunteered to drive Queensland fire trucks over six hundred kilometre's to the town of Narrabri and stay until the job was done or they were rotated. This is a true story only the characters names have been changed to protect their anonymity, this fire was a real monster almost a conflageration that had threatened and cut off towns and homesteads isolating people, animals and wildlife, cutting roads twisting and turning sometimes doubling back on itself at the whim of the wind, this fire had escaped and evaded all attempts to control it and now headed straight for it's next victim the large town of Narrabri via the Pilliga. Can it be stopped, the town was being evacuated and had taken on the feel of a ghost town with only the most hardy non necessary towns people staying put. Read this true story and discover the outcome told by a firefighter who was actually there throughout the very worst of the action, feel the unbelievable and unbearable heat, experience the choking, blinding smoke, the roaring flames, the crackle of exploding trees hour after hour, be there join the fight. If you ever wondered what it is like to be a professional firefighter then you must read this book

Download or read book Firestorm written by Greg Mullins and published by Penguin Group Australia. This book was released on 2021-09-28 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Greg Mullins followed his father into fighting bushfires – it was in the blood. He fought major fires around Sydney and the Blue Mountains for decades, and studied bushfires in Europe, Canada and the US. He risked his life in the 1994 Sydney fires and, later, during our catastrophic Black Summer of 2019–20. As a career firefighter, he worked his way up the ranks to become Commissioner of one of the world’s largest fire services, Fire and Rescue NSW, for nearly fourteen years. When it came to natural disasters there was little, if anything, he hadn’t witnessed first-hand. Over five decades he watched as weather patterns and natural disaster risks changed, seeing bushfires becoming bigger, hotter and more destructive. He talked to scientists and weighed their evidence with his experience, coming to the realisation that man-made global warming was setting the stage for a deadly firestorm. In early 2019 he tried to warn the government that a Black Summer was imminent so that adequate preparations could be made. . . But when he and former fire chiefs from across the country tried to meet with politicians to sound an urgent warning, they were ignored. Combining thrilling stories of what it’s like to be on the front line of Australia’s first giga-fire with the hard truths of human-caused climate change, Firestorm is a compelling account of raging fire, political evasion, settled science, and one man’s courageous, urgent call to action for all Australians.

I thought I wasn't going to survive.' Peter Luke, Gaffneys Creek, Victoria 'the sky got darker again ... I started to think about the next day's newspaper headlines: "Stupid thirty-eight-weeks pregnant woman drives into fire with toddler."' Sonia Stanton, Canberra 'I looked down into where the houses were totally surrounded by a sea of flame and thought, well, that's it, she's all over. Everybody will be killed down there.'
