“Clearly It’s tough conditions and our volunteers are going beyond the norm to protect the community and lives,” he continued.

It’s understood they were battling the Clyde Mountain fire near Bateman’s bay on Thursday night.

Emergency services called to the area just after 11 pm.

The injuries were originally declared serious, but firefighters are now being treated for minor head, back and neck injuries at Batemans Bay Hospital.
