Morphett Vale CFS volunteers were among dozens who headed to Yorkes to help fight the massive bushfire - after a full day at their own station.

“They came from all over to help save our little town,” said Julie “Nuggett” Tatchell as she crafts sandwiches for the scores of exhausted Country Fire Service volunteers.

The 60-year-old’s dear little town, Edithburgh, was saved thanks to the tireless efforts of firefighters, who contained the blaze on Yorke Peninsul.
