Kynan arrived with other army reservists on the island in the wake of the devastating fires that took the lives of his uncle Dick Lang and cousin Clayton.<\/p>\n
He told FIVEAA Breakfast\u2019s David & Will on Monday:<\/p>\n
\u201cWithout 14 years policing behind me I don\u2019t think I would\u2019ve been able to do it as easy as I did. It was a great opportunity to continue doing what they died doing. They were helping the community and that was the opportunity I had\u2026<\/p>\n
\u201cI spent five years training in the army reserves to be part of the Australian army so what better way to put our training into actualisation when we can go over there and help and we\u2019re helping south Australians. It was a good thing.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s great that we were able to set up a memorial on the Playford Highway just near Gosse so people can go there and reflect if they would like to about what happened.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
