WIP Wednesday 📝
Kicking things off because it’s Wednesday night for me and I wanna share ☺️
This is from Rival Firefighters 🚒 and is the debut of an OC who is going to make an appearance or two throughout the fic. She’s just a kind cafe owner who I started writing and then next minute I was attached to her even though she’s barely in the chapter haha.
Anyway, here is some Eddie and Chris at their favourite cafe 🥰 (and a moodboard at the end cos I couldn’t resist)
Eddie pulls up outside Corner Store Cafe and helps Chris out of the truck before heading inside. They’re greeted by Rosalie, the owner of the cafe, an older woman in her 50s, with dirty blonde hair and chestnut eyes that radiate warmth, making you instantly feel safe and at ease.
“Just the two of you today?” She asks them as she plucks two menus from the counter and leads them to their favourite spot by the window.
“Yep! Me and Dad are going to the aquarium!” Chris tells her excitedly.
“The aquarium! Oh I bet you’re going to have the best time!” Rosalie pulls out a chair for Chris. “What are you most looking forward to seeing?” She asks, eyes alight with genuine interest.
“Sea otters! Though the shark lagoon does look cool.”
“You’ll have to tell me all about it next time you’re here.” Chris smiles at her, big and gummy and Eddie swears he sees Rosalie melt a little. “Now what can I get you boys besides a big cup of coffee for Dad?” She throws Eddie a wink. It doesn’t take people long to figure out that Eddie does not function well without coffee.
“Well,” Eddie says as he leans forward as if to tell a secret, “someone mentioned something about pancakes.”
“Chocolate chip with extra whipped cream?” Rosalie recites Chris’s usual pancake order with a grin.
Chris looks to Eddie, silently asking if the order is okay. Eddie nods and then Chris is beaming at Rosalie and almost shouting his “yes please!”
Rosalie laughs and then turns back to Eddie. “Your usual? Or will you be partaking in some pancakes as well?”
“Think I’ll go with pancakes this morning. Blueberry please.”
“Wonderful, those will be right out.”
“Thanks, Rosalie.”
Rosalie answers with a smile and then heads back to the kitchen to put their order through.

Balga (Xanthorrhoea preissii, aka grasstree) looking beautiful as they go up during the worst fire of the season. You can see how many embers are being thrown from just two little grasstrees.
Balga are highly adapted to fire and are usually the first plant to resprout after the fire - within a week or two.
This was the last fire I worked on, the Wooroloo fire, back in Jan 2021, Western Australia, before getting my fire science job! 🔥

I was a kangaroo in Australia. I went to visit my kangaroo girlfriend in southern Australia but that was hit by forest fires. When I got to her we went walking trough the forest. There was a lynx that kept following us. Eventually I was human again in my own house but still during the Australia forest fire timeline. The lynx was in my basement so I threw it out but it was reaaally fast. I locked myself in the bathroom but there was a gap betweem the door and the lock. I saw the lynx looking in and it started to saw at the door. I kicked the door open en tried to lock the lynx in the kitchen but it fought back. I started blasting it with a lighter I had found but the lynx turned it around at me so I quickly threw it away. I closed the kitchen door but the lynx started blasting it with fire so the entire house engulfed in flames. I could get myself and my kangaroo girlfriend out just in time.

I just spent some time scrolling through this blog and am suffering from sever laughter. Thanks so much for collating the countries craziest moments. One of my favourites is when Scott Morrison was in Hawaii while the bushfires where burning.
December 2019: As Australia's east coast is engulfed in the worst bushfires in living memory, rumours begin to circulate that Australia's Prime Minister Scott Morrison may have secretly fucked off for a holiday in Hawaii.
Keep in mind, this is what is going down in Australia at the time:
The Hawaii rumour is initially written off as a fringe conspiracy, because surely nobody could be that fuckin tonedeaf, and it was quickly forgotten about... until an Australian man visiting Hawaii UPLOADED A SELFIE ON THE BEACH WITH THE PM THROWING A SHAKA.
At which point all hell broke loose.
Overnight the formerly popular "Scomo" became the most despised man in all of Australia. Think "firefighters shouting out of their windows to news cameras" level of despised.
After about two days of radio silence and pretending like he was still at home running the country, the Prime Minister's handlers finally dragged him onto call with an Australian radio station, where he pinky promised to return to Australia as fast as he could in an attempt to calm things down.
Unfortunately Scott's empathy consultant (a real job) then had to watch Scott pour more gasoline on the dumpster fire by uttering the now famous phrase "Look I don't hold a hose mate" when asked by the radio interviewer why the fucking fuck the fuckhead wasn't fucking in Australia doing his fucking job during a massive fucking crisis.
Testing just how much worse things could get, Scomo then proceeded to NOT rush back to Australia as promised, instead attempting to complete the rest of his holiday, a fact that was exposed when a passerby snapped a picture of him still lounging on the beach two days later.
Eventually, holiday complete, Morrison did reluctantly slink back to Australia, and in an attempt to calm things down, he decided to pay a visit to a small town that had been destroyed by the fires.
Which was a big mistake.
Scomo still had not registered how absolutely and totally he had screwed the poodle with his Hawaiian beach vacation, and he walks into what is now taught in PR classes as one of the greatest examples of "what not do do in a crisis" in all of history.
Scotty from Marketing, as he is now dubbed by the nation, spends a painfully cringe-inducing hour wandering around a burned down town with TV news cameras in tow, having to FORCE PEOPLE TO SHAKE HIS HAND in what is some of the most awkward footage you will ever see.
At this point it's probably also worth mentioning that, before becoming Prime Minister, Scott Morrison's biggest claim to fame in politics was being the guy that was so far up the coal lobby's arse that he literally brought coal into parliament and waved it around, claiming it doesn't hurt people.
So when a protest was organised it turned out to be one big national fuck you to the Prime Minister, the likes of which the world has never seen before or since.
Needless to say, at this point Scomo's career was dead in the water, but thanks to the rules brought in to stop Australian political parties from knifing their leader every two weeks (a popular Aussie passtime) Morrison basically couldn't get fired until after the next election.
And so, when the election rolled around in 2022, we decided that was an opportune time to travel over to Hawaii to erect this bad boy tribute to the Prime Minister, on the very beach where Scomo had sat and drank margaritas that one fateful week in December as Australia burned (thanks to @chaser for funding the ticket)

Hi! Just wanna raise some awareness here because South America is on fucking fire and I need to see more people talking about this.
Source: RSOE EDIS x
Im just going to talk about the ones i'm closest to, but if you know about these fires, feel free to add in the reblogs!
Chile
In Chile there's (up to Feb 5) 160 wild fires, of which 40 are still trying to be controlled by authorities. The president, Gabriel Boric, has declared State of Emergency in the whole country, and theres a Red Alert Code in most part of the country.
Isla de Chiloé, Southern Chile (900 km away from Santiago de Chile)
This is a (recently controlled) fire that lasted a week, but many neighborhoods were burnt to the ground.
The whole South is in red alert for constant sudden fires that spread quickly due to the lack of rain and the elevated temperatues in the zone. Just today, two fires had to be controlled in the main land next to this island, and more are being reported in the Los Lagos region. This is added to the "controlled" intentional fires that farmers make to clean their fields of old crops along the Central-South parts of the country, mostly surrunding the main route, Ruta 5, that connects the whole country, thus making it hard to see and breathe because of the smoke. (flashnews, most of them get out of control quickly.)
Valparaiso/Viña del Mar, Central Chile (100 km away from Santiago de Chile)
A fire that started on Friday 2nd and grew exponentially because of the wind and the dry, hot climate. More than 100 people are dead, with 70 unrecognized bodies and other 400 that have dissapeared. At least 30000 people that have lost everything to the fire.
There's massive evacuations from this and the neighboring city, Viña Del Mar.
This is said to be the second most deadly fire in the century, surpased by Australia in 2009.
45000+ hectares that include land and neighborhoods have been burnt down.
I could go on about this one, so more info here and here
Argentina
Parque Los Alerces (Esquel), Chubut
The fire strarted on the 25th January, and the climate has made it hard to contain. 3000 hectares of native forest have been burnt to teh ground. It is now growing in the direction of the nearest city, Esquel. Theres been evacuations between yesterday and today (4 and 5th Febuary)
Parque Nahuel Huapi (Bariloche), Río Negro
The reason why im writing this. The city woke up today covered in smoke after a wildfire developed yesterday during the night. The reason? A fireplace that was not turned off in a place where people cannot disembark and can only be reached via boats.
As of now, there's not much information about the fire but hopefully the firefighters will be able to contain it before it reaches Tronador Mountain, where an ancient glaciar is.
...which leads me to the other point i wanted to talk about.
Firefighters
They volunteer to do this job.
In Argentina and Chile, firefighting is not rewarded with a salary, and most of the times they dont even have full firehouses to stay in. These people are at their houses, ready to jump into action and run to the station the second the alarm goes off.
They are neighbors, people that risk their lives and run into danger willingly, just because they want to help the community.
I felt the need to give a shout-out to these people and say:
Don't be a fucking dick, don't start fires in the woods unless it's an approved place, and if you do, TURN IT OFF.
Pour abundant water on it, and do not stop when you don't see any more flames.
Keep pouring water until the ashes don't burn/feel like room temperature in your hand if you put it 10 cm away from it, and even then, pour some more just to be sure.
No heat and no smoke mean a safely extinguished fire.
Save lives and forests.
