We have a serious bushfire burning a few km to the east of us. It's downwind of us so that's good - but not good for those in that direction. As I write another Erikson Air Crane has just flown over the house - we have a small lake a couple of hundred metres away and the choppers have been using it to fill their water tanks for most of the day. Of course I took a few photos..... :-)> http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1370864/album-firefighting/index.html Cheers Brian ============ Great shots of them hosing up water. We had a fire near here about four months ago. Except we have big water tanks and they use a bag/sling thing that swings under the copter. Never actually seen them getting the water, just dumping it. Really like the first helicopter hosing shot. Well done.
