Such a sad thing to happen anywhere, but particularly so when they had gone to help others.

A very sad thing, but also an excellent example of countries helping each other ..............

3 Americans flying a Canadian plane to help fight bush fires in Australia.


Last year, it was Australians and Canadians helping forest fires in California.

The year before, Australians and Americans helping in Canada.

Really sad about this tragedy. There is no justice in the world. It should have been the arsonists who died if anyone had to.

Rest in peace, you heroes.
