The brunette beauty was on duty last week to put out wildfires which threatened south-west Sydney.
‘I helped put the fires out and then we got the rake hoes and cleared a path for everyone to get through,’ she told The Daily Telegraph.
Newbery said that her colleagues support her modelling career, adding: ‘They think it’s funny that I can look so girlie and when there’s a fire I can be covered in soot.’
‘When you’re battling a fire, how you look is the last thing on your mind.’
The model joined her local brigade three years ago because she ‘looked up to’ the fireys that help keep Australians safe.
