I will get cracking a write a few sonnets dedicated to helitaks.
To begin with here is a limerick I have written about helitaks:
There once was a helitak from Ealing
Who had a peculiar feeling
It layed on its back
and unrolled its layflat
And put the wetstuff all over the ceiling

Delibitly lit fires seem to drop off for a while, but they back again,and these idiots need to be caught, so we will need the Carson for a while longer.

From what i have heard they all leave early april. Fire season is suppose to be over. Been a strange oen this year
Its hard to just extend there contract as they are used elsewhere. The fireking would be used in us for there season and the helitaks are the same ones used in qld for there season.
