In the summer of 2019/20, NSW experienced one of its most intense bush fire seasons on record. 25 people lost their lives, including 4 volunteer firefighters from the NSW Rural Fire Service (RFS). RFS volunteers courageously battled the fires for months, working long hours in extremely dangerous conditions to keep us all safe. They saved many lives and homes. Their sacrifice, bravery and community spirit makes them human rights heroes.
