Just like many other parts of Australia, the Lake Tyers region(泰尔斯湖地区)suffers(遭受)from wildfires(野火). But this part is different from others because of its fire team—the firefighters(消防队员)are all women.
Charmaine is the leader of the team. About twenty years ago, a house in Lake Tyers caught fire(着火). It was burned down because there was no fire team nearby. Charmaine and her two friends hope to protect(保护)their own land by themselves. They start knocking on their neighbors' doors to look for teammates(队友). Five other women join them. Together they ask the government(政府)to give them firefighter training.
After their fire team is set up(建立), this well-trained team put out many fires. Their job is not only to protect people and houses, but also to save(拯救) their own history. They help to find hundreds of old artifacts(文物)on their land.
"When we first set up the team, some people call us the Banana Women, "Charmaine said, "Because we wear bright yellow uniforms(制服). "They like the name so much that they keep calling themselves this name. They are the bravest(勇敢) "Banana Women " in Australia!
