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.
