A volunteer firefighter has died and two others have suffered burns while battling the out-of-control Green Valley Fire, near the New South Wales-Victoria border.
It is believed their truck rolled in extreme winds while attending the fire near Jingellic, approximately 70km east of Albury.
A fourth firefighter has also been transported to hospital after a second vehicle in the same area was blown over by the extreme winds, the NSW Rural Fire Service (RFS) said.
The identities of the firefighters involved are yet to be confirmed. In a statement on Monday night, the NSW RFS said their "thoughts were with all the firefighter's families, friends and fellow brigade members."
"Further information will be provided in due course," the statement continued.
Officers from the Murray River Police District are currently on the scene of the crash, a NSW Police spokesperson said.
