TWO local shearing sisters, Jesse and Olivia Jones have recounted the night that unexpectedly changed their lives, when a devastating accident left them both in hospital with serious burns.

On October 17, Jesse, 21, and Olivia, 23, were working at a property in Telopea Downs and were spending their evening standing around a fire lit in a 44-gallon drum, alongside their brother - Brady, parents - Sally and David, and the rest of the shearing team.
