Village 'abandoned' by RFS in its hour of need, local fire chief saysThe Rural Fire Service withdrew vital firefighting equipment from a small NSW community on a day it came under intense bushfire attack, an RFS captain says. Politicising these awful bugfires is really sad. I wonder if small villages might be looking to buy their own fire trucks and set up a novel thing like a volounteer fire brigade to defend their community. 'If we can learn to do things better in the future. It's not about pointing fingers at individuals — it's about having the right resources and funding to do the work we're here for.' So perhaps painting the RFS as the villains here isn't the right call
