I was down at Jandakot the other day, and I watched the 2 water bombers 605 and 608 depart for a fire. I tell you they jumped in and departed very quick. No wonder why they always been the helicopters to a fire ;)

There were two Dromaders sitting at Jandakot this afternoon when I was there.. - They were located on the grass opposite the RFDS.

Several fires now reported in the Toodyay area. DM Avon en route and requested Air Attack and Helitacs. Helitac 682 (using callsign Cougar 1) confirms several fires.
