Vehicle design in the line of fire

Victoria's tragic Black Saturday fires have been the catalyst for some potentially life-saving inventions.
Liam Ferguson, who helped his family to save their home in the Latrobe Valley, has drawn on his experiences to design the Amatoya, an off-road fire reconnaissance vehicle.
The 24-year-old designer devised the Amatoya for his honours-year project at Monash University. It can penetrate rugged terrain to provide assessments of fire movements and withstand being engulfed by a blaze.
The Amatoya has a seat for the driver and one for an operator to remotely control two heavy-duty water cannons on the roof. It has a water supply of 1800 litres. A thermal-imaging camera would help the crew to identify fire hot-spots.
