Nice pics. My brother is in mines rescue in NSW. He once whinged to me that all he did there was sit on his butt filling out paperwork.

That looks like fun.

I have done the Hot Fires course down at forrestfield with FESA, and loved it, learnt alot. I think we had Gas jets and kerosene. The kerosene floats on the water while burning and sort of flows towards you while you are trying to turn off the gas valves.

Good pics.

I *believe* its just kero down @ forrestfield.. ?

Regardless it's awesome.. except for the few days afterwards. Using muscles you forgot or didn't know you had!

a freakishly common problem , people trying to put out oil based fires with water , like kero fires ,or cooking oil fires.... very dangerous
