A Supreme Court in New South Wales (NSW) has accepted a lawsuit by the families of two deceased U.S. firefighters who sued the state’s Rural Fire Service (RFS) over a tragic aircraft crash in 2020.

On Jan. 23, 2020, a C-130 Hercules aircraft of the Canadian aerial firefighting company Coulson Aviation crashed in southern NSW while on duty, killing three crew members onboard.
