Australia Wildfire Claims Firefighter

 
"....Ongoing fires in Victoria have killed three people, destroyed nine houses, burnt more than 113,000 hectares and destroyed up to 52,000 head of stock.

Captain Trevor Day, 42, of the Campbell's Creek Brigade, near Castlemaine, died on Monday when he was thrown from a fire tanker that rolled at Highlands, north of Yea.

A father and son were also killed in a bushfire at Pomonal, near Ararat in the state's west.

Malcolm Wilson, 36, and his 12-year-old son Zeke died when a blaze ripped through their crashed car as they raced to save a relative's property."
