2:24Now PlayingIn the middle of Australia's bushfire crisis, some faces have become familiar.
RFS Commissioner Shane Fitzsimmons is one those. Another, standing to his right with a long salt-and-pepper beard, is Auslan interpreter Sean Sweeney.
Mr Sweeney belongs to a small group of interpreters who have been working for months to ensure the deaf community can access up-to-date emergency information.
