It was all hands on deck yesterday afternoon as a fire came around the back of the Darlala Motel. Fire can be a regular occurrence, particularly with the build-up of fuel after the strong wet season this year.

Thankfully no property was damaged thanks to the help of the Darlala Motel staff, local Ngukurr Police, the Ngukurr Language Centre, and even some electricians from All Regions Electrical who lent a hand. Back-burning earlier in the year also helped to keep the fire from getting too close.
