Thanks for the help!
Twenty American firefighters arrived in Melbourne today, to help with our bushfire problems. The Eastern states in Australia have got a really big bushfire problem at the moment. We are in our second year of drought, we are having an intensely hot summer and a lot of forests and grasslands are completely dried out.
Some of our firefighters are in their fourth straight week of round-the-clock work, and we've got a 60-mile front in one place.
The past couple of years Australian firefighters have gone to the USA to help with your forest fires and the news people have always made a big fuss of it. It's nice to be able to say "Thank you" in return.
We've also had some New Zealanders over to help. Thanks to you too, guys.

Re: Thanks for the help!
That's really cool when people can pull together and help out like that. I'd say you're welcome, but I really had nothing to so with it.
