Keiren Rodwell, 23, a paramedic from New South Wales working for the Service in north east London spoke this week about how the fires are affecting communities across Australia - but also the many Australian paramedics in London. Keiren joined London Ambulance Service straight out of university in February 2018.

Sadly, two of Keiren's extended family died at the end of last year protecting their family from the fires. His family's livelihood in the timber industry is also under threat from the fires.

Thanking the public who have donated to the London Ambulance Service fundraising page, Keiren also sought to raise awareness of the long-term affects of the fires as well as the tragic loss of life and property. He paid tribute to the rescue workers and Australian Red Cross battling the fires, keeping people safe and supporting those affected.
