Three builders were saved from their work site in Piano Flat by helicopter yesterday after the area started flooding. Photo: Russell JenkinsWhen Gore builders Gary Ward, Russell Jenkins and painter Dave Webster set out for work in Piano Flat yesterday, they never expected to be flown home in a helicopter. Brumby Builder owner Trevor Brumby was contacted by the men at 5pm with their concerns. He sent his son out to the work site to check on the workers but he soon realised he could not get anywhere near the area. The Brumby Builders team is happy to be home after being saved from the flooding (from left) builder Gary Ward, painter Dave Webster and builder Russell Jenkins.
