According to the Rural Fire Service, it's believed the truck rolled when it was hit by extreme winds.

7NEWS can confirm that the crew is from the area.

The heartbreaking news comes after Geoffrey Keaton, 32, and Andrew O'Dwyer, 36, from the tight-knit Horsley Park brigade, died when a tree came down on their truck, prompting the vehicle to roll off the road.

The pair - both fathers of 19-month-old babies - were part of a truck convoy near the town of Buxton, where fires were burning out of control.
