NZ firefighters return from Canada wildfires

From Morning Report, 7:50 am on 10 September 2018

Sixty-five New Zealand firefighters have returned from a stint in Canada, with tales of blistering heat and bears, while fighting wildfires ravaging the country. Lightning strikes and careless people caused the fires which have burned through more than 1.3 million hectares since they started burning in April. Two of our firefighters, Myles Taylor and Dave Herries got back from Canada on Sunday. They talk to Susie Ferguson.
