WE REPORTED a few<br />
months ago volunteer<br />
firefighters would be in for<br />
a busy summer, and that<br />
clearly is what is starting to<br />
happen.<br />
Literally fuelling that<br />
workload is long dry grass<br />

army of cutters to get the job<br />
done and take the sting out<br />
of the fire risk.<br />
Maybe that’s the answer.<br />
