Photo: Getty Images/FileA Queenstown volunteer firefighter is helping to give free accommodation to weary Aussie firefighters needing a break from fighting devastating bushfires. Aaron Murphy, who co-owns Queenstown Luxury Property Management, put out the call to owners of holiday homes he manages, and so far 15 have offered to put up firefighters for five nights. With some of their homes being quite large, Murphy says at least 20 firefighters and their families could be accommodated. He says his company, and sister company, Partners in Grime, will handle all the cleaning and property management for free.
