上月在一起车祸中遇难的新州志愿消防员Andrew O'Dwyer的葬礼在周二(1月7日)举行,包括其家人、朋友、消防局同事在内的数百人齐聚在悉尼郊区的Our Lady of Victories教堂集体哀悼。
来者中包括总理莫里森、新州州长贝瑞吉克莲、新州紧急事务部长埃利奥特(David Elliott)和联邦工党议员克博文(Chris Bowen),以及Andrew O'Dwyer生前心爱的女儿Charlotte。

新州乡村消防局局长菲兹西蒙斯(Shane Fitzsimmons)在对Charlotte致辞时一度哽咽。

他说:“Charlotte应当知道她的父亲是一位无私而独特的人,他之所以离开是因为他是位英雄。”
