gotta say - they didnt seem to have any luck slowing it down until the
helo started to hit it
per comment - dont use plows since they wreck the land ish
maybe more cafs was needed - or heavy duty retardant in the hose lines
fire attack - putting wet stuff on the red stuff - we never saw them
do an effective knockdown of a flame front with a deck gun or a foam
gun or a handline - maybe they did it but we didnt see it on this
video - and we were watching pretty closely for it
offroading with the tankers - pretty sure the tankers are 4X4
terminology - pumper is same as us type 1 or 2 - tankers are the
wildfire rigs - usually the paid guys staff the pumpers and the
volunteers staff the tankers
note - 1 volunteer with a scba - more are being introduced for the
volunteers - per comment
to recap - the basic Australia scheme is - paid firefighters using
city pumpers tackle fires in the cities and villages - volunteers
using the 4X4 tankers handle the wildfires outside the citys and
villages
note - the 4X4 tanks are every bit as big as the city pumpers - kust saying
