I saw a 62yo man who survived cancer fighting a bushfire and when the firefighters and cops told him to leave his premises because he was losing his house, he said "you can all fuck off" and he fought and saved his house.
One of my best friends found out about the fire and drove like a madman to get here to save his parents house, he lost his car in the process but saved their house.
I went to help a neighbour while my house was burning carting buckets from his stormwater because we had no other only because there was a possibility of saving his house, in saving his house we saved two more.
400 firefighters worked for over 4 days around the clock standing in the path of a firestorm that lacks sufficient description in words and never faltered, never took a step back, fucking superheroes in my book.
Tonight, 5 days after our entire neighbourhood was destroyed by fire, we are having a street party to celebrate, 72 homes, no lives. Come back when you got some.
Tell me, do I qualify in your book?
