We are all down under saddened by the loss of 3 American lives who came all the way over to Australia to help fight the huge bush fires. There has been an agreement for many years between Australia and the USA and other countries to send experienced fire fighters during the off seasons to assist each other during large bush fires. tragically three Americans flying a water bomber crashed, as yet no cause for the accident has been established, the Australian Government and fire service leaders have stated that they will make sure that they are never forgotten. RIP.
