Mr Morrison was later heard telling a fire official: 'Tell that fella I'm really sorry, I'm sure he's just tired.' Mr Morrison responded on Friday by saying he understood the emotional response and did not take it personally. Instead, Mr Morrison reached down to take her hand and then moved on to speak to another person. Another woman from the town, who brought her pet goat along to the meeting, told Mr Morrison the small town was 'forgotten' during the crisis. Mr Morrison later told the ABC he wasn't 'surprised people are feeling very raw at the moment'.
