Volunteer fire-fighter who lost everything is donated a new Toyota HiLux

EXCLUSIVE A volunteer fire fighter whose ute and home were torched on New Year’s Eve – while he was fighting deadly blazes on the NSW south coast – has taken delivery of a brand-new Toyota HiLux donated to him by a well known businessman and one of Australia’s largest Toyota dealers. Steve and Mandy Hillyar (pictured below) from Malua Bay lost everything in the bushfires that would ultimately claim more than 3000 homes and more than 30 lives over the Christmas-New Year period.
