An emotional Rural Fire Service volunteer has broken down live on radio, saying he is "offended" at the suggestion that fireys "failed" to save the NSW town of Balmoral.
The town of 400 was hit hard by the raging bushfires over the weekend, with an unknown number of homes lost. There are 150 homes in the town.
An RFS member named Greg teared up as he spoke to John Stanley on Sydney's 2GB radio station this morning.
"It was horrific, it was horrific," Greg said of the conditions he experienced in the town southwest of Sydney.
