While fighting one of the many devastating bushfires currently plaguing Australia, a heroic firefighter discovered six sweet koalas struggling to avoid deadly flames in Cudlee Creek. With the assistance of his fellow team members, this compassionate and brave man, Adam, rescued all six marsupials, taking them to safety.
Fortunately, all six koalas made it to an animal rescue according to local resident Janelle Michalowski, who celebrated Adam’s work via a Facebook post.
While bushfires are common in Australia, this year, they are ravaging the continent. Fires with such wide-sweeping destruction haven’t occurred since 1974.
It is unclear just how much damage has been done to Australia’s wildlife and their habitats, but with numerous concerned citizens and firefighters like Adam and his crew working to assist and rescue the poor animals caught in the fires’ paths, the harm done is definitely less than it could be.
Scientists speculate that record-low rainfall coupled with the devastating effects of climate change are at the heart of the problem. Nine people died thus far, and in New South Wales, it is reported that well over 700 homes have been lost.
These fires serve as an important reminder that our ecosystem must always be respected, especially with global warming rapidly changing our environment. Carpooling, recycling, reducing our overall consumption, and adopting a plant-based lifestyle are a few ways we can lessen our carbon footprints. These small changes can have a significant impact on our planet and its future.

You might want to update this to the real cause of these fires, which is people deliberately setting them. To keep reporting that “scientists speculate” at this point when we know 24 have been arrested for deliberately setting them is propaganda at this point… https://abcnews.go.com/International/24-australians-arrested-deliberately-setting-fires-season/story?id=68108272
Going to update this article with the news that a whole bunch of people have been arrested for arson? *That* has been your big problem there.
HEARTBREAKING TO IMAGINE WHAT THE WILDLIFE WENT THROUGH !
thank you to all of those brave people risking their lives for the animals
Thank you, thank you, thank you, from everyone in Spain. Sending all our love and prayers to every living thing. RIP to those who have died.
as usual they want to blame “climate change”. It is really poor land management and arsonist, politicians who do not want to keep up the land. Climate change is one way they can blame it on something but themselves. Isn’t it time that these so called enviromentalist actually step up an admit it is just bad management by humans.

One has to have a heart to love animals. I don’t know where I heard this but I heard that some people lack the empathy Gene. I think Trump likes the empathy Gene and anyone who hurts animals I’m so glad that California is leading the way kind of wish I was there now especially Highway 101 and Monterey
i agree with the article except for hindering climate change via a “plant-based lifestyle”. If we change to eating only food that contains soy for example, then it will be fatal for all people who have had cancer treatments.
THANK YOU. Love from england. Thinking about You all and All the Wildlife out there . Unbelievable. The PM hasn’t even Yet sent in the Army to help the Firefighters

Well said
WITH FIRES RAGING IN AUSTRALIA it is unbelievable that POLITICIANS are still NOT calling A GLOBAL STATE OF EMERGENCY instead of DECLARING WAR. on each other in the name of PERSONAL POWER. THIS PLANET IS IN A STATE OF IMPENDING DESTRUCTION AND STILL THE MAJORITY OF HUMANS CANNOT COMPREHEND THE NEED TO STOP ABUSING OTHER SPECIES THE ENVIRONMENT. and EACH OTHER.. FOR PROFIT.

Don’t know if my post on the sick cruel torturous dog fighting mess and then dogs for dinner came through. It is sad that 3d world countries don’t have the same values for animals and people that we do. We can’t understand their thinking but I am glad there are people who can take this head on and get it remedied. It is a very sick thing they are doing to get dogs who don’t want to fight or die or get eaten and force it. If I want sick from this issue is say let’s have BBQ’d a**holes.totally yuk.
Regarding firefighter and koalas. Very nice man to go out of his way to save these sweet animals. So sad to have lost so much to these fires.
I am so happy to hear that people are taking steps to improve the lives and treatment of animals
Awesome job! Thank you!
Awesome job! Thank you!

THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO EVERYONE….

Thank you for helping these koalas.
My heart is with Australia; my prayers are for Australia; all the people, animals and nature. I pray for all. God bless all of you and the people who are helping.
You are propagating a falsehood. Poor forestry practices and sub-standard care is a huge problem. Started in the 90’s. Much science backs this!!!!!!!!
you are so correct, this is just an excuse to put the blame elsewhere instead of on the bad choices made to manage the land. My heart breaks for all the animals and innocent humans suffering right now.
Sorry you are leaving out one huge factor: poor sub-standard forestry mis-management!!!!!
Humans love animals as they were created to give us jou and love by the Almighty.
TRUE HEROS. X
Great thanks to the wonderful firefighters who rescued those desperate koalas!
This is so hard to watch these animals be tested for cosmetics or medications. Thank God for the firefighters in Australia. Please help our animals they can help their selves we are their protectors as God is our protector.
Only, the scientists aren’t “speculating” about the cause. The cause is an established fact.
it was three 12 year old boys that set those fires you dickwads

Thank you for your bravery and dedication to animals.
THOSE POOR LITTLE CRITTERS HAD TO HAVE BEEN TERRIFIED NOT KNOWING WHERE TO GO OR WHAT TO DO BUT I’M SO THANKFUL THEY WERE RESCUED AND PRAYERFULLY MANY MORE WILL BE SAVED TOO….
Hats off to the rescuers. I hope many more hundreds of heroes such as these rescue more animals including kangaroos, koalas, horses, sheep and many such animals. Australia needs animals heroes at this terrible tragic and devastating times/
GOD BLESS THESE TRUE HEROES. Poor gentle little creatures of God…..
THANK YOU for rescuing these Sweeties — beautiful job well done.
Thank you for saving them
These firemen have my deepest respect. For saving lives, not only human ones and risking their own. Hey, you Australian firefighters are the best sort of men (and women) the world has to offer. Really. I am very proud of you. From Germany with love.
I can heardly stand all that petitions about that poor creaturers who are harmed by humans, But I have to take care about that animals who suffer so much. So I sign petitions and spend money , and still I feel it is not enough. Right noe, we adopt a dog from an italian shelter who never got to know , what love feels like, poor girlie. So I try to do my best…
Thank God for the firefighters!!!
thank you for your compassion and reverence for life!!!!! God bless you! for saving these precious creatures!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well done, Adam. You are a real hero. A compassionate and brave man.
While I admire those firefighters for their bravery, I strongly condemn Aussies for their stupidity of re-electing the Morrison government. They missed the chance for a better way, and as a result lots of wild animals have been burned to death. AwfulStralia doesn’t deserve that part of the planet.
Thank you Extraordinary Men for what you each did for the koalas…I wish each and everyone of you a Healthy, Happy and Harmonious 2020…Regards, Phyl Dupret
