Highly recommend you share some of this with DFES. the bushfire centre of excellence is always after video footage for training. That wind change was a great for training, showed it at my brigade the other night

Great vid. As a member of a coastal brigade we rarely get to see or fight grass fires, so this gives some awesome footage and commentary. Even listening to the radios helps illustrate a lot. As one of the training officers, I hope you don’t mind me using this with the crew, so when we do get deployed out of area we’ve at least got some idea of what is needed.

Great video!! Reminds me of being in Texas & Oklahoma. I can still taste the ash and smoke. I had to stop the video and go to the fridge and grab a cold one to wash it down. That's the beauty of being retired I guess. Keep up the good work. Don't get hurt!! You'll be doing the same thing; probably in the same place next year!!

At least you guys get half-decent trucks and gear. Here is QLD, bloody great F...en joke... A tip when you need to fill with a lay-flat, grab a section of suction line and connect (hope you cary selection of fittings) and use that on end into tank, it wont flop/flap around or kink off. Just shows to others what fires can do when weather is against you.

I just felt I wanted to tell y’all something funny. So I was out driving in the country with my family and we stopped at this old town in the middle of nowhere, now there was a VBFB and my brother being my brother decided to try the door handle. It was open. The entirety of the truck was also left open. So, my dad told his mate who’s an Area officer and we don’t know what happened after that but it was pretty cool.

The relight issue is because you're driving too fast and you're also driving in the dry side which can be dangerous in itself. You should half your speed and attack it from the burnt side so the nozzle can get in the seat of the fire and really drown the spot instead of just getting the top grass wet and allowing the dry grass underneath to relight. I'm not here as an internet warrior. I just want you guys to be safe. I lost a couple of buddies in the fire service and I don't want that to happen to others.
