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:

Sadly it would appear one person has lost their life in the Adelaide Hills fires today, with another missing and several volunteer firefighters injured.

Life is so cruel at times. Those firies that have died or been injured have sacrificed from doing good. Their families and friends will be sad at a time of year that should be happy. I feel sorry for the losses and yes I will have a moment of remembrance at Christmas for them and others I have known. Lest we forget. :beer: Cheers.
