Watching The Helitac_DSC2976

This helitac flew low over our house several times this afternoon. There was fire in a reserve a couple of streets away. We walked over to the oval to watch the action.

@huvesaker They're fabulous to watch, the pilots are amazing :)

[Joan Robillard]

Fascinating

[Bep]

Hope the fire got extinguished.

[Richard Hickey]

Awesome picture.

[Merrelyn]

@gijsje Yes it did Bep. It wasn’t a very big fire, but the reserve is full of grass trees (which burn fiercely)and it’s bordered by a school and houses. The helitac was working on it for a couple of hours.

[Graham Harcombe]

Wow! Exciting :)

[Denise Wood]

Great action capture :) Hope all is ok.

[Babs]

Great action shot. Always a bit of a worry when bushfires are so close to houses.

[John]

Very impressive!

[Merrelyn]

@gilbertwood All is fine Denise, we were surprised that they used a helitac rather than a crew on the ground :)

[Merrelyn]

@30pics4jackiesdiamond We were all quite safe on the oval Jackie. It wasn't a large or fast moving fire :)

[Valerie Chesney]

What a super capture, Merrelyn, so pleased they extinguished it quickly...

[Sylvia Binch]

An impressive sight .. well captured !

[Connie Little]

Our emergency services do such a wonderful job. Great shot.

[Gayle]
