2A Scrub, Zig Zag - Gooseberry Hill

Post by kylep »

A small Scrub Fire broke out in difficult terrain on the afternoon of 23 December, prompting a 2nd Alarm Scrub Fire Response. Appliances from Kalamunda FRS, Kalamunda BFS, Welshpool FRS worked with 2 Helitacs to Control and extinguish the Fire. Firefighters took around 4 hours to extinguish the fire.

I was lucky enough have a very good position for shooting the Helitacs, with some lucky crews who got to watch on, as other crews worked hard to access the fire from a trail below.
