It was definitely a small fire, but the weather conditions could have played a role in the decision to bring in air support, maybe it’s extremely dry and hot, and it looked really windy. It was also threatening a property/structure.
Listen if you haven't been to a grass fire or worked a fire on an very hot day, please don't assume that they were excited or just seemed like they don't know how to run a show. Fires here will change in spilt seconds and if you don't get on top of them quickly we could have another black summer. I'm an RFS vol this was my first season and some situations needed an OIC to be on point and edge like that one
Guys are working like there rookies, Cause where I work I'm a also a fire fighter and we never need a sky crane for a grass fire or a fire like that.... Rookies I'd say
Ok Joe im a member of the Rural Fire Service here In Australia, grass fires are very dangerous and if you do not contain them quickly then you have weeks of work a head, from what I understand it was a total fire ban day which means it's hot as hell and water bombers will be called no matter the size, second it was on someone's property so it is imperative it is gotten under control go protect any structures and loss of assets

Old mate really wanted to use that fire hose.
I use to drive along Bringelly Rd a lot but has been a few years now. Things have change along it a lot. New bridge and yards I don't recognise.
Curious, at the 5:25 mark why not let it bump the road? Now you have to monitor a line with green on black.
that crap buring in the yard was probably giving off some nasty smoke
You know it was. It can give off toxic smoke and coincide gas and everything else that I would be afraid to mention
Everyone posting these comments about rookies and why use the sky crane for such a small fire but that is in Australia wildfire's are top priority

They can move really fast,It sound strange anyway to see an helicopter on these fires lol
looks like it was attended by Casula RFS and 084 Macfields frnsw
and Horsey park...
The sky crane water looked dirty
+KosukiFire you dont have to use clean water to fight a fire, any water will do, swimming pools, lakes, rivers, stock ponds, anything !
Little bit of panic.Have to remain calm if in charge.
i think he was just a bit over excited and i also think the person he was aiming the hose with might of been a new member and a bit taken aback
Volunteer FFs
thats an RFS crew leader for you, micro managers and stress heads
No, professionals who understand what they are dealing with and how it can change very quickly
