Appreciate it

[@theofficialemergencyservic7881]

Amazing video, great catches

[@AUSEmergencyVIDSnsw]

Glad you enjoyed

[@user-jensen]

It was a hazard reduction burn that got out of control because of the wind blowing embers and causing it to jump containment lines

[@JB20232]

Would love to add. That the hills district send a strike teka of 5 trucks to that fire for the night shift. It’s consisted of
Rouse hill 1
Round corner 1
Glenorie 1A
Kenthurst 1A
Kellyville 1

[@AUSEmergencyVIDSnsw]

I love the helicopter closeups. What camera do you use if you dont mind me asking?

[@AUSEmergencyVIDSnsw]

Panasonic hc vxf1.

[@deadsimple3506]

Great work as always 😀

[@doohickey-enjoyer]

Noticed that most of the RFS's fleet still has halogen rotators. I assume that's for better visibility, i.e. how the beam of the rotator is seen quite clearly in smoke?

[@AUSEmergencyVIDSnsw]

@@doohickey-enjoyer correct

[@CommentsTroll]

Do some appliances not need rego plates? Eg1:00 Terrey Hills and 6:20 do not have them.

[@AUSEmergencyVIDSnsw]

After some research. Apparently if the vehicle is registered to a specific brigade it doesn’t need a rego. If it’s not registered to a specific brigade like a headquarters or support unit it will be registered with a number plate. Makes 0 sense got no idea but that’s how it works apparently bro sorry 😂

[@craigoOZ]

Correct, all red fleet fire vehicles do not have number plates, but do get a pink slip every year. White fleet and Mitigation vehicles have number plates.

[@0ne-6right40]

I could see it from my house! Do you know what the alarm level was at its peak?

[@clinton_vern]

Bush fire greater than 10th alarm

[@AUSEmergencyVIDSnsw]

What Clinton said! But because this started from a hazard reduction. There was already tonnes of trucks there. So if this was in frnsw area and frnsw took command they would’ve sent as much as rfs. But there’s no point with that many tankers there!

[@0ne-6right40]

@@AUSEmergencyVIDSnsw that makes sense - CT36 and BT50 are the only two FRNSW tankers on the North Shore. I don’t understand why they started a hazard reduction on a particularly windy and dry day though?

[@Camzasaur]

@@AUSEmergencyVIDSnsw How does a hazard reduction turn into this... That's crazy.

[@willoughby40]

@@0ne-6right40 That is a question for the RFS.

[@Patty0188]

Does anybody know what that helicopter is at 12:50???

[@AUSEmergencyVIDSnsw]

Sikorsky S-61N. Over from Canada for the fire season. It’s a national asset so will be moved around a lot. It’s never been here before
