Volunteer Firefighter Alliance (VFA) continues with its work in promoting volunteer firefighting around the world. Today, VFA shares some news about the special role that influencers play in helping with fire incidents.
One of the most unfortunate incidents in recent times is the bushfire which has harmed lives and damaged many properties in Australia. This is undoubtedly a huge problem, which no ordinary individual or entity can even make an impact on. However, during times like these, it's really significant when those who can truly make a difference recognize the opportunity when they see it, notes Volunteer Firefighter Alliance.
This is precisely what the legendary rock band Metallica has done. Through the band's All Within My Hands foundation, they have pledged $500,000 to assist and defray the cost of damages in the Australian bushfires. They send some funds over to the NSW Rural Fire Service and Victoria's Country Fire Authority.
As one of the most popular bands in music history, Metallica has a platform and some money to spare for worthy causes that they see. This is what makes them truly remarkable influencers. When they speak, their collective voice is listened to, and others respond positively to this.
In fact, other rock bands in the metal music community have also pitched in with their own efforts. Ice Nine Kills, The Ghost Inside, and Fit For an Autopsy are already some of the bands who have come up with their own creative ways of raising money for the Australian bushfire. With Metallica's lead, other celebrities are expected to follow suit.
