Australia’s fires have been nothing less than devastating, with more than 500 million estimated to have died and some even speculating that the fires could have wiped out entire species already.
A 24-year-old firefighter has posted a video on Instagram that has people tearing up.
The video posted by Sam McGlone showing the volunteer firefighter extinguishing spot fires near his hometown of Braidwood when he finds an orphaned baby joey hiding from encroaching flames under a log.
I saved this little baby kangaroo it was left by its self! This is heart breaking. 10 Million acres burned. Please spread. Please donate. We need your help
Sam on his post
Mr. McGlone volunteers with his brothers and has been fighting blazes around the South Coast since late-December. Braidwood was under threat in late November last year with flames reaching 100 feet.
But the community was on high alert last week when the nearby blazes around Palerang threatened the area. The Palerang fire was under control as of Monday morning.
