Dozens of Australian firefighters formed a guard of honor and stood with hand on heart to bid a solemn farewell to colleague Andrew O’Dwyer, one of three volunteers killed in recent blazes
SYDNEY - Dozens of Australian firefighters formed a guard of honor and stood with hand on heart on Tuesday to bid a solemn farewell to colleague Andrew O’Dwyer, one of three volunteers killed in recent blazes.
A third firefighter was killed in a separate incident in late December in what authorities described as a “fire tornado”. Prime Minister Scott Morrison, who has faced some criticism for his response to the fires, attended the funeral in Sydney. A funeral was held for O’Dwyer’s colleague, Keaton, last week, where his young son stood quietly, sucking on a pacifier, while receiving his father’s medal.
