If it was the one a couple of hundred metres down the valley back in August, that was me trying to put it out using the Gulliver method. It didn’t work.

Grass fire? X’ABZ. Maltese civil protection personnel are just as bad as the police, except the police kill you by actually beating you to death. Civil protection just let you die by not turning up.

I called them to put out a spreading grass fire last year, and they said they would turn up but didn’t. I had to put it out myself. It took hours.

Is that not the epitome of iced buns? What is the average weekly call out rate for each man?

Are there women firefighters on the payroll in Malta?

The government just paid 3.6 million euros for half a wooden ceiling in Old Mint Street, Valletta – and that investment needs all the protection they can give it.

There is no smoke without fire.
