Fire at the airport today , no real flames as it was hot and things started to get worse so I headed off for home, worked out after I left that if I stayed at the control vehicle all the trucks come to there, some other trucks I didn't get that where there but what I did get are not that special because I was on my zoom lens so sorry for that.

Welshpool 2nd LT beacons crack me up

Great pictures Matt!!

Stunning photos, Matt!

Nice shots... casual ARFF as always - tank tops, and a water cannon - what more could they possibly need

Thats not really fair , this photo represents one second in time , what you didnt see is that these guys just got back in the truck after fighting bush fires , no doubt his shirt was soaking wet and figured he would cool down better without it.

calm down matt. - I have alot of respect for the ARFF and the job they do. I was actually joking, however forgot to add the smiley - my bad.

Dunno about "no real flames"

I drove around to domestic airside around 1430 and i could see the flames from the 21 threshold end, and they looked scary

There was PLENTY I just didn't get them , I was spellbound by the choppers.

What a shame Marty didn't come out and play.

Great pics, and Marty is inbound to Perth airport as I type. Not sure for what though.

I had to pull over for Welshpool 2nd to pass under emergency conditions and its quite obvious of the different lights on the LT... I wouldn't have thought so though

Video , I need a tripod , just slapped this together 3.20 I think didn't stabilise it or anything as you will see.
