Firefighter Death in the Victorian Bushfires.
The ACT volunteer firefighter who was killed yesterday near Marysville, north-east of Melbourne, was David Balfour, 46, of Gilmore.
David Balfour is the first firefighter to be killed while on duty since the Victorian bushfires began.
He died after a tree fell on him while he was attempting to connect a hose to the back of a fire tanker.
A paramedic with the man's team was unable to save him.
RIP Dave, I never knew you, but you are one of us. You came to help us when help was needed.
