Sad news from the fire front -
We had 3 volunteer firies injured a couple of days ago.
2 fellas with multiple burns were put into induced comas due to burned lungs and smoke inhalation.
A young female volunteer firie was also taken to hospital with minor burns and smoke inhalation.
Today came the sad news that 2 young volunteer fighters lost their lives fighting the big fire S/W of Sydney. :flowers:
Reports said both men had young families and that both families were close friends.
It appears the firetruck they were traveling in, rolled after hitting a tree.
On Xmas Day, could PA members please stop for a moment and spare a thought for the gallant men and women risking their lives, fighting the fires and missing out on Xmas with their families, just to keep the rest of us safe. :Y: :heart:
