Nope Bully never went? About to head down to the Baldivis fire, were sending a crew of 2 x LT's for the 12am to 6am mop up shift. Time for another coffee I think. West Swan are apparently going too, That will cheer them up

Guys remember this is not a general chit chat thread.
Gooseberry hill fire - I saw and photographed the following choppers
668
669
670
671
681
682
air attack
air intel
Might have only got one of the 2 support helicopters but I saw 2 up there.
Also got at least 2 different water bombers, 1 of which is bomber 10.

Bullsbrook had 2 Light tankers there. Interesting that Baldivis called on Swan Brigades for the midnight shift again but Goosberry Hill incident had limited Swan attendance. Do not want to enter into a discussion - just an observation.
