7
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 1: Easy thing. I've had mates to it.

8
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:21,440

13
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,199
Speaker 2: He's converting it into a little shed, and he was

14
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 2: using his oxy cutter and to cut out a window,

15
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 2: push the metal out, and he just saw the whole

16
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 2: field on fire. He's in the middle of nowhere, like

17
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 2: there was nothing else around, but he was powerless to stop.

18
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 1: The fire just raced.

19
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:49,560
Speaker 2: Up the hill and then stopped and the wind changed

20
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 2: luckily turned it back on itself, burnt half.

21
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: We'd all be burnt.

22
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 3: Wow.

23
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 1: So you gotta be careful.

24
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 2: So this poor old guy, he was welding a and

25
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 2: he grabbed a fire extinguisher that he had on him

26
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 2: attempted to put the fire out.

27
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 1: I put out these.

28
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,039
Speaker 2: First two bits, and then the waxy stuff on the

29
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 2: tussock spread.

30
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 1: And it was beyond his control. It just took off.
