THE last group of Victorian firefighters who helped battle Tasmania's worst fires in nearly half a century have returned home.
Over 70 Victorian emergency services personnel were sent to Tasmania this month to help the state fight and recover from fires that destroyed nearly 200 properties and burned through 120,000 hectares.
One of the contingent, Department of Sustainability and Environment (DSE) firefighter Peter Cramer, died while identifying potential containment lines at Taranna, east of Hobart, on January 13.
The final group of firefighters returned to Melbourne on Thursday.
Tasmania Fire Service chief officer Mike Brown thanked the Victorian contingent for their help.
"The Victorian teams fitted in very quickly and provided our people with needed support and relief," he said.
"The effectiveness of the task force speaks volumes for the consistent approach we now have to emergency management and the close relationships we have with our Victorian counterparts."
