And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

U.S. firefighters getting cheered while arriving in Australia
Anyone know how the economics of something like this works? Who do the firefighters normally work for? Who fronted the travel money to get them to the other side of the world?
What kind of firefighters have beards? Hair will catch fire in temperatures that firefighters endure. Also, one cannot wear a breathing mask with a beard.
They don't wear SCBA's in wildland situations. The most I ever wore was a bandanna. Also, if you are in a situation where your hair catches fire, it's probably too late for you.

ReplyDeleteSend them back. There is no racial diversity in this group! Wonder why THAT is.

Maybe they are off-season wild fire firefighters, I don't think they normally wear masks.
