Firefighters have been working around the clock as wildfires continue to scorch the most populated areas in Australia. New South Wales resident Jenna O'Keefe posted a picture on Facebook showing her volunteer firefighter dad sleeping on the ground on their family farm after his 10th 12-plus-hour day battling the blazes. And it struck a chord with people all over the world.

The photo shows O'Keefe’s father still in full firefighting gear and boots, grabbing some much-needed rest, smoke lingering from fires burning on their property and the nearby areas.
