Volunteer firefighter Rodney O Keeffe had been under a cold shower at the Jingellic football oval for more than an hour.
He was shivering despite the intense heat, trying to bring some relief to his body, which was covered in severe burns.
His canary-yellow uniform had burned into his skin and a local at the bushfire relief centre had to tear it off. There was no medication available to relieve the searing pain.
