"tankers" (Australian terminology) = engines (US terminology)

"Forestry Corporation is one of the state's four core fire-fighting
authorities, working alongside the RFS, NSW Fire and Rescue and
National Parks and Wildlife Service to protect communities from
bushfires," Ms Talbert said.

"Forestry Corporation manages two million hectares of state forests
and brings expertise in forest firefighting and heavy plant and
machinery to the combined firefighting effort."

to recap - the State of New South Wales has 4 main wildfire agencies -
NSW F/R (cities and towns) + RFS / Rural Fire Service (volunteers in
suburban and rural areas) + National Parks and Wildlife Service + NSW
Forestry Corporation (state forests)
