A touching note from Queensland firefighters shows their dedication to the cause, staying until the early morning hours to help defend dogs — and even a cow — at an animal shelter.
A touching note has been left by Queensland firefighters after they helped defend an animal rehoming centre between Logan and the Gold Coast from bushfire.The blaze broke out around 2:00pm but was under control later on Thursday
Crews were battling the large blaze south of Brisbane on Thursday afternoon, but the dogs — and even a cow — at the Animal Welfare League Queensland's rehoming centres were close to the fire zone. The fire that occurred yesterday on Rossmans Road in Stapylton was in close proximity to AWLQ's Animal Rehoming Centre. Thank you to the wonderful crew from the Birnam Rural Fire Brigade who kindly stayed at AWLQ's Beenleigh Animal Rehoming Centre until 1am.Queensland Fire and Emergency Service said the fire was still burning on Saturday morning, but it was within containment lines and posing no threat to property.
