Fire chief brands Aussie wildfire survivors 'ungrateful'

A fire brigade chief called survivors of Australia’s recent wildfires ungrateful today after a report that some were considering legal action against firefighters.

Euan Ferguson, chief officer of the Country Fire Service, said it was premature to blame his firefighters after the country’s deadliest wildfires in two decades left nine dead and injured 113 on Tuesday in South Australia state’s Eyre Peninsula, 250 miles west of Adelaide.
