Firebird 610 is AS350BA VH-WCJ
Firebird 611 is AS350B2 VH-WDI (has the moving mapping stuff installed)
Helitac 668 AS350B3 Has the Water tank installed
Helitac 669 AS350B3 Has the Water tank installed
Helitac 670 AS350B3 Has the Water tank installed
Helitac 671 AS350B3 Has the Water tank installed
Helitac 767 S61N Has the Water tank installed and on trial currently

I am not a pilot of the Helitac's perhaps associated with them.

NSW is HELITACK 225 for there Helicopters, however pending on there size its either Helitack for BK117 and above, Firebird For B206/AS350/MD500 etc, Firebird is also used for the fixed wing bombers.

I have plenty of photos, here are some that i found on the 100,000 odd photos that I have!!!! Some more will be edited tomorrow.

ADMIN EDIT:

I've moved the pictures to a separate thread here after reading Meg's suggestion a few posts below to keep the pics and the discussion separate.
