Servos - Last to Close and First to Open During Disasters

Early November, the highway into the township of Taree on the NSW mid North Coast was cut-off due to fires burning to the north of the town (near John's River) to the south (at Nabiac) and to the west (at Hillville). These fires began on Thursday 6 November 2019 and, at one point, firefighters were faced with a wall of flames spread across a 60 km fire front in conditions that can only be described as 'unprecedented' for the area.
