The Firefighter in the video is David Tree.

He said he was in the middle of backburning at Mirboo North when he saw the stricken koala. "I could see she had sore feet and was in trouble, so I pulled over the fire truck. She just plonked herself down, as if to say 'I'm beat'," he said.

"I offered her a drink and she drank three bottles.

"The most amazing part was when she grabbed my hand. I will never forget that."

Mr Tree and his brigade then received an emergency call-out to save a house, but minutes later Sam (The name the Koala has been given) was picked up by wildlife carers.

She is one of 22 koalas, 14 ringtail possums, several wallabies and eastern grey kangaroos that have been handed into Gippsland carers.

    umm....this is Australia lool, but what bout seals? im from canada and we dont all just go killing seals...there is a very extremely small number of people that actually kill seals. less than the number of people that kill other people in america thats for sure. was this your fake news that gave you this info? because i advise you not to listen to news anywhere in the world because it's gov. controlled
