Set in a small country town, Fireflies centres on the townspeople and it's rural bushfire brigade. You can measure a township by the commitment of it's people. Most of them are volunteers, from the fire brigade to the CWA. Whether you're new in town, or here for generations, when you're facing the driest hottest summer in decades, it pays to belong. (Telemovie & 20 episodes)
