Firefighter death
It was a "freakish weather event" that killed a volunteer firefighter on Sunday, according to the New South Wales °í¾ßµå°¡¹æ=°í¾ßµå°¡¹æ
Rural Fire Service (RFS).

Powerful winds near the New South Wales-Victoria border lifted his 10-tonne truck off the ground and flipped it over, the service said.

Samuel McPaul, 28, was a newlywed who was expecting his first child.

Earlier in December, two volunteer firefighters died while battling a blaze near Sydney.

"To lose one of our »þ³Ú¿©ÀÚÁö°©=»þ³Ú¿©ÀÚÁö°©
own in such extraordinary circumstances is just tragic," said RFS Commissioner Shane Fitzsimmons of the latest death.

Mr McPaul died at the scene, while ½Å¹ß·¹Çø®Ä«»çÀÌÆ®=½Å¹ß·¹Çø®Ä«»çÀÌÆ®
the driver received minor burns and a third person suffered more serious burns.

A second vehicle was also È«Äá¸íǰ³²¼ºÀÇ·ù=È«Äá¸íǰµµ¸Å È«Äá¸íǰ³²¼ºÀÇ·ù È«Äá¸íǰ¿©¼ºÀÇ·ù
blown over in the same area and the firefighters on board were taken to hospital, the service said.

Meteorologists say a climate system in the Indian Ocean, known as the dipole, is the main driver behind the extreme heat in À̹ÌÅ×À̼Ƿ¹Çø®Ä«=À̹ÌÅ×À̼Ƿ¹Çø®Ä«
Australia.

Temperatures exceeded 40C (104F) in every state at the start of the week, with strong winds and lightning strikes bolstering the flames.
