A tribute to firefighters
On Saturday night, 11 January 2020, the famous sails of the Sydney Opera House were lit up in a special tribute.
While there were many people, agencies, groups and members of the community involved in the 2019/2020 firefighting effort, this was a special recognition for NSW Rural Fire Service volunteers who have worked so hard to protect communities.
