Right now NSW is turning to ashes
Depends on where the fires are. Maybe someone has made an executive decision to let the fires in inaccessible areas to burn to reduce fire load in those areas for the near future.
What's the point of each having their own aircraft? We borrowed a 737 yesterday. Only takes 4 hours to get over here.
The point is is you can hit the fire as soon as it is spotted with you own assets, you may not need interstate assets to fly four hours to a fire that is now out of control.
