A
Even as a bush fire threatened the rural australian community,Gary Wilson and his partner
Julie Willis decided not to flee their wooden house.
The two had a home full of baby kangaroos to protect.More than 10 of the baby
kangaroos-一called jocys--stayed safe inside fabric pouches(育儿袋)that hung in the couple's
living room.Each piece of cloth looked like the opening in which mother kangaroos carry their
young.Wilson and Willis have taken care of wild animals before.Recently,full-grown
kangaroos and other wildlife that had left their care long ago came back to the house in search of
protection as the fircs grew nearer."We had too many animals in the housc and around the
house so we really couldn't go."Wilson said."We decided we were going to stay and fight."
Their home is now surrounded by burned land and vehicles.
Wilson and Willis defended their home with fire extinguishers (and water pumps.
Their house also had a special device on top that sprayed water on hot ashes falling on the roof.
Good preparation and good luck helped the building stay sale.And the animals have
survived.But the fire killed two of Wilson's neighbors."It was a horrible thing,Wilson said.
Willis said,"It's not until after the fires when it really hits you how close you were to
dying..”
While Wilson and Willis usually care for joeys that are rescued after their mothers are struck
by vehicles,they are now welcoming an increasing number of fire orphans.
She said,"We didn't have children ourselves;this is what we spend our time doing.We
think it's worthwhile-a worthwhile cause-looking after our babies no matter what
they are..”
