Australia fires: British firefighters to assist with clean-up
A group of about 300 serving and retired firefighters are heading to Australia to help rebuild communities hit by bushfires.
The team, including former chief fire officers, will work with the charity BlazeAid to rebuild structures and fences destroyed by the fires.
Organiser Steve James said the group would help wherever they could.
"We need to do some good for them, it would give them a second wind knowing we've come so far," he said.
Former London firefighter Mr James runs Tunnel to Towers UK (T2T), a charity event inspired by an American firefighter who died in the 9/11 attacks in New York in 2001.
