Such terrible news, and when they came to help us. Condolences to everyone concerned

We are truly grateful for their courage and devastated by the loss. Thank you and condolences to all who loved these brave souls.

Our deepest sympathies. Thank you and your firefighting crews for your service in our time of need. Australians know the US will be there for us, as we will for you, in times of need and happiness.

Sending my heart to those families for the loss of loved ones

Deepest sympathy to their families and to the greater firefighter family they belonged to.

Heartbreaking. They had the courage to come across the world to help those in need. Deepest sympathies to the familes.

All of The emergency services, indeed all of Australia, are sending our thanks and love to the families of these brave firefighters.

America's loss is Australia's loss too. Let's never forget these three brave men who came halfway around the world to help us in a time of crisis. My condolences

Such a terribly sad thing. To lose your life while saving others is an overwhelming thing to deal with or try to explain. To extend my sympathy to their families isn’t anywhere near enough, but it’s the only thing a person can do.
