- inactive, on 02/11/2009, -8/+440This Aussie firefighter has a big heart, big enough for the koala to trust him.
- Smokeydabear, on 02/11/2009, -11/+417My Uncle Clyde, a fire fighter with the US Forest Service, once shared a cigar with several beavers during a forest fire in Northern Michigan.
- angel.wardriver, on 02/11/2009, -42/+410God Bless those fire fighters.
- reallytempting2, on 02/11/2009, -6/+325Friendly little fellow ... amazing he made it through it all.

- Ryanx0r, on 02/11/2009, -4/+184Wow, this is pretty incredible.
Being an (ex) Australian citizen, I know that even though Koala's are cute and stuff, they're still pretty dangerous.
It's awesome how this Koala trusts an 'unknown' and allows the firefighter to actually give it water in the wild.
On another note.. I really hope they catch the bastards that started the fires. - thespiff, on 02/11/2009, -5/+176"My apartment is infested with koala bears. Its the cutest infestation ever. Much better than cockroaches. I turn the lights on and the koalas scatter. I'm like, come back! I want to hold one of you, and feed you a leaf."
- whatupdoc18, on 02/11/2009, -6/+170LOL almost everywhere else in the world it's dd/mm/year.... it's just us americans that have it mm/dd/yy
so to answer your question, no, it's from february 10th - colincornaby, on 02/11/2009, -5/+141"Koala drinking water from the Bush Fire Tragedy Crisis"
My god, the man has been out of office for two weeks and he's still causing problems. - atomicwedgie, on 02/11/2009, -4/+126DUGG regardless of the koalaity of the video. :)
- mrfreeziexp, on 02/11/2009, -2/+107that koala must have known it needed help because they're not usually that friendly. They look like teddy bears, but they can actually be surprisingly vicious.
- LeviTheSmith, on 02/11/2009, -0/+94Sure he did Smokey.
- Veni_Vidi_Vici, on 02/11/2009, -4/+96I want a Koala. :(
Is there some wildlife action fund for the fire recovery? - upick, on 02/11/2009, -4/+94awww thats cute and heart warming
The firefighters are our national heros - elliotys, on 02/11/2009, -5/+93The worse part is that if they don't get that Koala back in some eucalyptus trees he is going to go through a horrible withdrawal.
- memper, on 02/11/2009, -2/+75i guess you couldn't kill it with fire.
- Unreal893, on 02/11/2009, -3/+70Cute furry animals = Digg's biggest weakness
but damn this is pretty cute. - LoveWidescreen, on 02/11/2009, -0/+66According to the YouTube description, the koala was picked up about five minutes later by wildlife rescuers. So, it still had a happy ending.
- Bdog2g2, on 02/11/2009, -3/+60No, in other news several others noticed your douchebaggery and voted you down enough for others not to even bother looking.
So congrats, you got two pieces of good news today and one was your making. - whatupdoc18, on 02/11/2009, -3/+55firemen all over the world are going to get laiiddddddd cus of this video. GJ mates
- BrandonDiggs, on 02/11/2009, -7/+54God Bless the Koala
- MatzahMan, on 02/11/2009, -4/+51so damn cute.
- senfo, on 02/11/2009, -3/+44Does every story have to turn into a religious debate? Some of you people need to grow up.
This is an awesome story about some really awesome firefighters that did a really awesome thing. Whether you believe in God or not is irrelevant. Take your bashing somewhere else. - charters14, on 02/11/2009, -4/+45The picture captures the moment much better.
- LeftieLucy, on 02/11/2009, -2/+38It's the hand holding that kills me - adorable!
- osuivan, on 02/11/2009, -0/+35They typically are not friendly, that little guy must of been VERY tired to trust a human like he did.
- diceau, on 02/11/2009, -44/+79God bless? If God wants to bless anything, how about all the animals that weren't so fortunate ... we humans jumped in and tried to save everything we could, what did God do?
- Hetman, on 02/11/2009, -2/+35So what you are telling me is that as soon as that little koala got his fill of water he jumped on that firefighter and hostily attacked his face?
- gr00, on 02/11/2009, -1/+31This is classic -- however, what is more classic, is that the firefighter's last name is TREE.
- BraveQuail, on 02/11/2009, -4/+33Drink young one, drink...
- qgchew, on 02/11/2009, -4/+32AWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!! That's all I can say form that video...
Awwwwwwww.... I'm still doing it! - funnelweb, on 02/11/2009, -3/+30dugg for "how much can a koala bear" line
Great work fireies - cheapotheclown, on 02/11/2009, -0/+27or maybe it was just thirsty
- ghank, on 02/11/2009, -8/+34God Bless ALL firefighters.
- atomicwedgie, on 02/11/2009, -2/+27ANYTHING positive out of that tragedy is good news. As Bdog said... quit being such a douchenozzle.

- wendelgee2, on 02/11/2009, -0/+20R.I.P.
- midbc, on 02/11/2009, -9/+29yeah God must have had something to do with the fireman wearing yellow and made him kind of like a banana cause we all know the banana is the atheists nightmare
see how perfectly the fireman fit on the koala's paw just like it was gods design
man 1 god 0 - rydawg09, on 02/11/2009, -0/+20The one on the front page is also a picture...not video.

- memper, on 02/11/2009, -0/+19It's a phone, and I doubt he was thinking, wow I should really be thinking about my cinematography right now.
- inactive, on 02/11/2009, -4/+23Explosion of cuteness.
Both the koala and the australian firefighter with an accent :) - ruarctb, on 02/11/2009, -1/+20http://www.wildlifevictoria.org.au/cms/index.php?o ...
If anyone wants to donate to Wildlife Victoria to help the animals affected by the fire. Its just not people out of homes. - Baronvontito1, on 02/11/2009, -0/+19Its name is Jack Bauer.
