As news of the Ash Wednesday fires was spreading on Feb 16, 1983, 3AW dropped scheduled segments and began rolling coverage.
In this clip, we hear the closing moments of the Derryn Hinch morning program followed by the midday news read by Jane Holmes with crosses from Rex Haw, Helen Jackson, Amanda Keller, and Mike Edmonds as it went to air.
In Ep 026 we will feature a memorial package put together by 3AW's production team some time later.
