12.01.2022 ACT Media were invited into the Namadgi National Park today to showcase the hard work emergency services across the country have done to protect lives, historic... properties and wildlife. Minister for Police and Emergency Services Mick Gentleman, Chief Officer of the ACT Rural Fire Service Joe Murphy and the manager of the Namadgi National Park Brett McNamara talked about the unprecedented conditions they faced. Brett McNamara said they have never seen fire conditions like this before and Joe Murphy said the rule book is being rewritten on how they tackle bushfires. Whilst there have been losses of around 55,000 hectares with 50 percent of the park affected, heritage properties have been saved. Unfortunately despite the best efforts of fire crews one home was lost in the Orroral Valley. Fire crews will continue their work and the fight is far from over.
