Living in the mountains, you have to deal with bushfires. Usually, a big one will appear around December/January every four to six years. The week a bushfire came to my town, I was at my grandparents place - I only realised that it was serious when mum and my sister appeared with the car loaded with all of the family's photographs. Looks like we were staying a few more days.
Once the roads were reopened, we came back to our house - still there. The fire had gotten up to the road and petered out - scorching a neighbour's fence in the process. We soon went up to the fire station to try and see dad. We found him in the corner of the control room, trying to get some sleep after a three day stint. His bleary-eyed face lit up as we walked into the room and he hugged mum as if she had been gone for years.
A few days later, while flipping through the TV, I saw him giving an interview on the news about how the brigade and the community had been recovering from the biggest fires in the region in years. A week later there was a thank you parade in town for all the volunteers who helped the community through the fires - and dad gave me a seat in the fire tanker alongside him.

Thanks Kai.
As you say, we all experience key moments in our lives that leave an impression. I feel that it is these moments that build our character - no matter how mundane to the external observer it may seem, they will always hold a special, unique and indescribable place in our memories.
