Hey, everybody, happy Thursday, or as I like to say, happy Friday Eve.

Overmorrow it will be Saturday.

But first, let's finish this week strong.

We've got a lot to get to, but not a lot of time to do it, so let's get to it.

Now, teachers, we're going to whip through some headlines, and as always, we recommend you preview each episode of CNN 10. One of them today involves coverage of school safety concerns following news out of Nashville this week.

Here are some headlines from around the world.

This month, the U.S. and South Korea restarted joint military drills on the Korean Peninsula, including this simulated storming of a beach.

These drills previously took place annually, but they hadn't happened at this scale in five years.

The U.S. maintains that the drills are defensive in nature, while North Korea views this military cooperation as a threat.

In the United States, six people were killed in a school shooting in Nashville on Monday.

This marked the 16th school shooting this year in the U.S. The tragic event has sparked further debate among lawmakers in Washington, D.C. over U.S. gun control laws, and has many parents and school officials reviewing their safety protocols yet again.

Finally, in the art world, scientists say they've identified a secret ingredient in Leonardo da Vinci's paintings, egg yolks.

That's right.

According to a new study published this week, European painting masters like da Vinci may have used proteins, especially egg yolk, in their oil paintings.

This new study finds that the inclusion of egg was intentional and was a technique used to fine-tune properties of the paint.

That wraps your quick look at the headlines.

Now, pop quiz, hot shot.

Ten-second trivia.

What is the capital of Australia?

Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne or Brisbane?

Though Melbourne was once the capital, Canberra became the official capital of Australia in 1927.

Being a firefighter is one of the most dangerous professions on the planet.

And did you know that wildfires in Australia are some of the largest and hottest on the planet?

They can be devastating, completely destroying homes and habitats alike.

But there's a group of volunteer firefighters in New South Wales working without pay to keep people and animals safe.

We're going to meet two of these heroic people to hear why they're willing to risk it all to keep others safe.

When I tell people I'm a firefighter, I actually get a lot of mixed reactions.

Oh, you do all that for free?

What makes you do that?

It really does spark a lot of curiosity in people.

Australia battles some of the largest and hottest wildfires on the planet.

The fire season in Australia typically runs from October until the end of March, when temperatures are at their highest.

Most of the firefighting is conducted by the Rural Fire Service, a volunteer force separate to state emergency services.

The New South Wales Rural Fire Service has more than 70,000 members.

We were founded in 1939 by local farmers and local residents that needed a firefighting service in the area.

And it was a bunch of guys with old trucks or trailers.

Now we're sitting here in a million-dollar-plus facility with these trucks that are basically a multi-tool.

We do flood work in this, we do fires, car accidents, house fires.

We're coming into a family of a long line of firefighters.

I believe there is that little bit of pressure.

I can remember when I first told my father-in-law that I had joined, the first thing he said to me was, as long as you can operate a pump, you'll be fine.

As a volunteer service, recruits come from all walks of life and require intense training before being deployed.

It's a huge amount of effort.

A lot of hours go into training a new recruit, not for bragging rights, it's because they've got to go out on the truck with you.

You need to be able to work with everybody from different backgrounds.

You know, people that work in corporate, people that work in construction, you name it, we've probably got it.

What outreach do you come from Picton 1 Blue?

The common thing is this desire to help people, so you've got to be willing to give your time to someone else for a thank you.

In 2019 and 2020, what became known as the Black Summer fires burned 10.3 million hectares of land across the country.

We were tasked to go and do property protection, but the house is in a spot that was very difficult to defend.

One road in, one road out, but then you walk around this house, you look in the back window and it is a carbon copy of my kid's bedroom.

There's Lego all over the floor, there's posters on the wall.

This family have literally bundled everything they can into the car and they've left.

They don't know that there's someone there to look after their house, but you staying there and maybe putting in that extra time and that extra work is going to be the reason they have a house to come back to.

The deadly fires claimed 33 lives, including nine firefighters.

More than 3,000 homes were destroyed.

The house Andrew and his crew protected was one of 14,000 saved in New South Wales.

Recent years have seen some of the largest fires ever recorded.

Unchecked climate change means they could grow larger still.

When I was growing up, there'd be fires and they'd occur, but there was nothing massive.

Now they seem to be getting bigger and, you know, they talk about megafires and gigafires.

Just on that scale, I don't recall anything like that.

The balance for work life, family life and the RFS can be difficult.

I've got a five-year-old and a seven-year-old kid.

Are there any little boys at home?

Daddy!

Hello, buddy.

They see the yellow shirt goes on and they know something's happening.

You know, they'll be like handing me car keys as I'm going out the door.

They're like a little support crew.

It's quite funny.

It gets difficult to juggle, but the reward's worth it.

When someone says, you know, we need help and then you can be the person to go and deliver that help, that's very rewarding.

There's nothing tangible that you get given for it.

It's just a sense of pride.

I'll be with the service for as long as I can be.

Whether that's time in an able body or whether it just ends up not maybe being an able body.

I'm just one of those old guys telling war stories.

If it's of benefit, I'll be here for as long as they'll have me.

I don't know if I need to quack any jokes today because today's story getting a 10 out of 10 about ducks is funny enough.

There's an historic hotel in Memphis, Tennessee called the Peabody.

And it's said that the famous Peabody ducks own the hotel.

They're basically celebrities treated like royalty and hundreds of people gather every day to see a tradition that dates back 90 years.

The March of the Peabody ducks.

Why don't you see this?

Meet the duck master, Mr. Kenan Walker.

The Duck March ceremony is exclusive to the Peabody Hotel in Memphis, Tennessee.

There was a general manager back in 1933 that went on a duck hunting trip with a friend of his over in Arkansas.

As a practical joke, they decided to bring back the live duck decoys that they were using and set them loose inside that fountain.

So when the general manager woke back up the next morning in a clear mind state, I'm sure he probably got up and was just like.

When he got down here, there was a crowd of people standing around the fountain staring at these ducks.

So that led to ducks living in the fountain.

But then seven years later, a man by the name of Edward Pembrook just so happened that he was an animal trainer in the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey circus as a young man.

And he was the one that came up with the idea of turning the ducks living in the fountain into a ceremony.

I have the honor and the pleasure of marching the ducks for you all this morning.

My title here at the Peabody Hotel is of the Duck Master, a very unusual title to hold.

It's my job to train the team of ducks that we have here.

And they have a two hundred thousand dollar duck palace upstairs on the rooftop.

There would be at least two to three hundred people on the busy days.

The number of people doing the duck march, we're talking into the thousands.

Ladies and gentlemen, if I may direct your attention to the elevators having just left their penthouse on the roof to join you looking good.

Ladies and gentlemen, the march of the world famous Peabody ducks all the way to the fountain.

I need everybody to use the steps.

Come on, let's do it.

Everybody say good morning, duckies.

Fantastic.

Everybody use those steps for me.

Everybody up the steps.

Looking good.

There's one, two, three, four and five.

Great job, duckies.

To know you're providing an experience that's unlike any other.

It's a privilege.

I don't consider it a job.

I feel like it's no pun intended, but it's a calling.

We love puns and they should always be intended.

All right.

I told a pterodiddle.

I will quack a joke today.

What do ducks wear to fancy parties?

Ducksitos.

All right.

We had some great Your Word Wednesday submissions.

Vocabulary words are off the charts.

Awesome.

Thanks to at Michaela0426 for pterodiddle, a noun meaning a petty lie.

And thanks to Pocono Mountain East High School for overmorrow, meaning the day after tomorrow.

Well done.

Shout out time.

And now we're headed to Massachusetts, to Tingsboro, home of the Griffins, Greater Lowell Technical High School.

You rock.

We hope you and everyone watching around the world have a wonderful one.

I'm Coy Wire and we are CNN 10.
