World’s largest volunteer fire service fights Australian fires
Tomerong in New South Wales hosts an army of 72,000 volunteers, led by captain Doug Schutz. They rerouted a bulldozer to widen a firebreak, helped avert hundreds of homes from the blaze, and organized controlled burns as fires raged since September. Schutz, who began volunteering at 13, lost his business on Christmas Day 2001 to a wildfire and has fought fires daily since November 29.
