Kiwi firefighters arrived to the sound of applause as they landed in Australia.
The 21 firefighters who left New Zealand to battle the wildfires in Australia, arrived on Wednesday.
They were sent off by Minister of Internal Affairs Tracey Martin who wished them all the best before they left.
The group of firefighters who recently arrived brings the number of firefighters sent from New Zealand to 179 since late October.
A video clip posted on Twitter by Fire and Emergency New Zealand shows the firefighters walking through an airport terminal while wearing all black.
As they push their carrier trolleys applause can be heard.
The firefighters will be stationed east of Canberra.
According to Fire and Emergency New Zealand, Fire and Emergency and Pan Pac forestry crews made good progress on securing the 12km perimeter of the fire on Wednesday.
The wildfires have had a devastating effect on Australia.
At least 25 people have died in the bushfires while thousands have been left displaced.
480 million animals have died, while on Sunday the smoke finally reached Auckland, shocking New Zealanders.
Scott Marchant, Deputy Principal Rural Fire Officer at Fire and Emergency told RNZ, the sheer size and devastation has been like nothing he has seen before.
"I've been over to America, Canada, and not even seen anything like what's been going on in Australia."
But he believes New Zealand firefighters are trained professionals and understand unpredictable weather conditions.
