Forest Fire Management Victoria chief fire officer Chris Hardman says the firefighter was involved in an incident while working in the area around the town in East Gippsland.

Meanwhile, Communications Fiji Limited through its five radio stations - Legend FM, FM96, Navtarang, Radio Sargam and Viti FM and website, fijivillage.com has started the CFL Australia Bushfire Victims Appeal.

Thousands of Australian families have lost their homes, farms, businesses. Far worse, some people have lost loved ones.
