Several helitaks (4?) and a couple of water bombers flying over Cullacabardie and Ballajura for 15 minutes this arvo. It didn't appear they were heading anywhere but just buzzing about it circles.
Edit: Just saw the other thread.. Can't see any smoke.

G'day all
Heres a Video of some helitacs fighting a blaze in Wilson back on the 17/1/10. I've decided to put my stills together to form a nice little video (which looks more like stop-motion)
Please Check out my Channel...Not many videos
but that will soon change.

At what point does FESA deploy the helicopters to standby in the hills?? It happened a couple of times last year.

I'm in Melbourne at the mo, and most of the grass and bush is still pretty sodden underfoot. Kinda weird for here.
Actually haven't smelt smoke all summer, glad they can be used somewhere.
