Two RFS firefighters have been killed in a town southwest of Sydney after a truck they were travelling in rolled off the road.
NSW has tragically lost two heroes. Our thoughts are with their loved ones and the extended RFS family as we come to terms with the devastating news.Earlier on Thursday, three firefighters were treated for burns after their truck was enveloped by the bushfire.
The Green Wattle Creek blaze remained at emergency warning level early on Friday, along with the huge Gospers Mountain blaze northwest of Sydney. Crews faced winds over 100km/h and 60-metre-high flame fronts. The fire was so fierce it sucked the oxygen out of the air. Firefighters are hoping to make the most of lower temperatures across NSW on Friday before extreme weather returns on Saturday.
