Vale To the Firefighters

Geoffrey Keaton, 32, and Andrew O’Dwyer, 36, both died when their fire truck overturned in the NSW fires.

Rest In Peace Australian heroes.

Vale to the Firefighters 

Do you think there is a special place in heaven 
For people who pass as heroes
Their names are written with pride
And should not be forgotten

Let their families find their peace 
Knowing that they will be looked after
From a grateful nation 
Holding them close to their hearts.
