It has been a difficult 12 months in Australia. On the back of a terrible drought we have had fires that have burned over 17 million hectares and taken around 30 lives. There have been plenty of sad stories, but today is perhaps the worst of them. Three brave Americans flying a C-130 have died fighting a fire south of the national Capital, Canberra. Their aircraft, owned by a Canadian company, crashed earlier today.

The names of the three have been withheld until their families are told. We have lost a number of brave fire fighters this fire season, but there is something especially poignant about those who travel half way across the world to risk their lives in a foreign country. The international brotherhood of firefighters is a powerful thing. They travel all over the world to join their comrades fighting fires. Some never come home.
These men died heroes. Thank you America for sending your brave men to help a friend in need. We will never forget them.
