I can confirm that there is 4 lighting plants on loan from the SES there. Melville's big bugger and some slightly smaller ones from other units. The request came through on Monday afternoon, they were refueled yesterday arvo and they were due to be release some today.

nra555,

How many of these DBAs are actual fires? I take it you have had some experince with these? Are you able to provide some insight into responding to DBAs? What goes on and what actually happens?

That would be great.

Thanks
