Widow of man who died fighting bushfires opens up on fateful moment that saved her life

<p>The widow of a man who tragically passed away alongside his father while trying to protect their NSW family property from bushfires has spoken out for the first time.</p> <p>Renee Salway lost her husband Patrick Salway, 29, on New Year's Eve. <span>Mr Salway died along with his 63-year-old father Robert as the Cobargo fire ripped through their community.</span></p> <p>His mother returned to the burnt-out property to find her son’s body alongside her husband.</p> <p>Before tragedy struck the Salway family, Renee says her husband had made a promise that he would be safe and return to their three-year-old son before he left to fight the bushfires ravaging his home alongside his family.</p> <p>“The last words he said (were): “I promise I’ll be safe and I’ll be here for Harley,” she told<span> </span><em>Seven News</em>.</p> <p>“I’ll never forget that.”</p> <p>Ms Salway recalled the horrifying moment she learnt her husband and father-in-law had died on New Year’s Eve.</p> <p>“Everything just falls out of you... you feel like a vacant space,” she said.</p> <p>Ms Salway is pregnant with the couple’s second child and had started dating Mr Salway when she was just 15.</p> <p>She described her husband as a loving father who loved the “simple life” they shared.</p> <p>“If you ever wanted to see love, it was in Patrick’s eyes when he looked at Harley. It was something so special,” she said.</p> <p>The young mother revealed if it wasn’t for her son, she too may have perished in the fire.</p> <p>Ms Salway said she had planned to help her husband and father-in-law as the fire encroached on their family property but had received a call from her mother saying Harley had awoken from a nap and had become restless.</p> <p>In that moment, she made the snap decision to return to her mother and son just hours before the fateful fire swept through, and by doing this sealed her own fate.</p> <p>“He is the reason why I’m here,” she revealed.</p> <p>Patrick Salway was a proud member of the dairy industry and a fifth-generation Cobargo farmer.</p> <p>Hours after his death, Ms Salway took to Facebook to share a touching tribute to her childhood sweetheart.</p> <p>“I will see you again Patrick, my best friend,” she declared.</p> <p>NSW Emergency Services Minister David Elliott declared that the day of their funeral this bushfire season was the "darkest summer" in the state's history.</p> <p>"I'm hoping we don't have a repeat next year, or the year after or for the next 10 years, but the reality is, we probably will.”</p>
