Friday, 11 February

This morning, as I was getting on the school bus, I saw smoke.

The bus driver said there was a small fire at Butterfly Creek, about ten kilometres away.

We saw fire trucks and tankers rushing to the fire.

The firefighters worked all day to bring the fire under control(控制). They put water on the fire and did backburning(逆燃), which is when firefighters light small fires ahead of the big fire.

When the big fire gets to the burnt part, it can’t go any further because there’s nothing to burn.

Saturday, 12 February

This morning, I heard helicopters(直升机).

Yesterday’s backburning didn’t work, and the fire was bigger.

The firefighters were filling monsoon buckets(大水桶) in the river and dropping the water on the fires.

I saw lots of birds flying away from the forest.

Bushfires are bad for birds and animals, as well as trees.
