  1. Wow, everyone turned up except police rescue. We don’t go to bushfires half assed here in Australia. The fully covered trucks in mostly full red (square ones) are full time fire brigade (fire dept in US) The 4x4 raised red and white with open backs are Bush fire brigade (RFS) (volunteers). The red utes are fire commanders The white utes and troopies are ambulance. The bmws and unmarked SUVs are highway patrol The black land cruisers are usually “riot squad”. Just before the 2019 bush fires here NSW Rfs bought the 737 and two spotter planes. The spotter flies the line they have chosen and puts two puffs of smoke. The 737 lines up the puffs and as it hits the first it drops red fire suppressant then hits the second and stops the drop. NSW is the only state that owns its planes, the rest rent them. Look into the safety systems on those RFS 4x4 trucks, they make the the rest of the world seem tame in comparison.
