Fed: US contributes to bushfire relief fund

The US Embassy says America has donated $A49,450 to the New South Wales bushfire relief fund.

US Embassy charge d'Affaires MICHAEL OWENS says American firefighters will also be
available to help if the request is made.

He says Australian forces are fighting with US soldiers in Afghanistan and the countries
will come together when democratic values or families are at risk.
