The NSWRFS has set up a dedicated account to collect donations for the families of two volunteer firefighters who died when a falling tree caused their fire truck to roll.
"Both Geoffrey and Andrew leave behind loving partners and very young children," RFS material said.
The RFS said Mr Keaton joined the service in 2006 and Mr O'Dwyer joined the Service in 2003. Both were members of the Horsley Park Rural Fire Brigade.
