Gratitude from Michelago fire

Hi Queanbeyan City Firies

Big thank you so much for saving our house. You have a photo of our house and yard on your website. It is the little white cottage that you guys closed up at the Tea Tree Creek fire in Michelago. Both my partner and I are on Michelago Brigade and were fighting the fire for a week or so following the Thursday. We can’t tell you how much we appreciate you protecting our house. By simply closing the curtains, moving the lounges and closing the house up you have protected the place from ember attack, while we were out on crews. Again thanks and if you are ever in our neck of the woods feel free to drop in and have a cuppa or a beer.

Jason and Margaret
Michelago.
