Little more than a day after two fellow volunteer firefighters were killed in the line of duty, the Horsley Park Rural Fire Brigade is back on the frontline fighting blazes.
Just over a day after losing two of their close mates the Horsley Park Rural Fire Brigade was back fighting blazes on Saturday.
"In true Horsley Park spirit, our crew are heading out today as part of a Cumberland Zone Strike Team in memory of Geoff and Andrew," a post on the Horsley Park RFS Facebook page said."To all crews in the field today, stay safe and look after each other." "No doubt their loved ones will be worried about what they might face today as they leave the front door."We say our thoughts and prayers are with you, we're deeply grateful. And we appreciate today especially every firefighter, every loved one, every family member carries a heavy heart with them."
