Yeah.
Eliza BerlageCORRESPONDENT
Tell us how you came to be in Lameroo.
Eliza BerlageCORRESPONDENT
Tell us about your story.
Eliza BerlageCORRESPONDENT
Oh my gosh.
Yeti BexSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Well, I came to Lameroo in 2002 with my partner and he bought a farm and I came with him on the visa for one year, not knowing we were madly in love, but I didn't know if I could do this.
Yeti BexSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And yes, after a year, I had to leave in September, went to New Zealand and came back and I knew this is what I wanted.
Yeti BexSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
where I want to be.
Yeti BexSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I don't know where I deserve it for, you know.
Selina GreenHOST
We'll come back to that story very shortly.
Selina GreenHOST
But first today, the Country Fire Service were called out earlier today to a fire in a hay shed at Lameroo.
Selina GreenHOST
I've got Alex Thompson, who is the Regional Duty Officer with the CFS, on the line with me now to give us a bit of an update on that.
Selina GreenHOST
Alex, thanks for joining us on The Country Hour.
Selina GreenHOST
So you're expecting that there will be some burning and a fair bit of smoke for the coming days?
Alex ThompsonGUEST
Yeah, there will be some smoke for the next coming days and we've put out an incident update which is on the CFS website and social media platforms that the public can refer to if they want any more information about that.
Selina GreenHOST
So if people are in around that Lameroo area at the moment, if they're seeing a significant amount of smoke, it's most likely coming from that fire?
Alex ThompsonGUEST
Yeah, that's correct.
Stephen DakeySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And it takes two to tango.
Stephen DakeySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So at Lameroo there was two clients and both of them didn't want to stand down.
Stephen DakeySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
They knew what the sheep were and they stuck at it.
Stephen DakeySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Today we had one guy, he was the winner and he was lucky to get them a bit cheaper than the $500.

Leith ForrestHOST
As you say, they're suspending them.
Leith ForrestHOST
Even volunteers from Lameroo or paid staff from Adelaide stations have to fill the void.
Leith ForrestHOST
So 12 of those have stepped away, and that's, that, nobody wins there, Tony.
Leith ForrestHOST
The community certainly don't win.
Tony PasinGUEST
They need to understand that these people are volunteers.
Tony PasinGUEST
They're under no contractual obligation to continue to provide their services.
Tony PasinGUEST
Many of your listeners in Adelaide might not realize that ambulance services in regional communities are often staffed by volunteers, as they are in Pinnaroo and Lameroo, and if you treat volunteers poorly, you'll lose them.
Tony PasinGUEST
And what's worse, it's not just on the information I received yesterday at the Pinnaroo Show limited to the ambulance service.

So to have pigeons hanging around and defecating, let's call it that, on, on your public buildings and your, and your parks, and disrupting people that wanna come and hang out at your towns, that would be the, the biggest impact and, and, and why we're, why we're really getting into it.
