Water bomber down in Western Australia
A water bombing plane has crashed while fighting two raging bushfires in a southern region of Western Australia.
The Boeing 737-3 belonging to Coulson Aviation with two people on board went down over the Fitzgerald River National Park on Monday at around 4.40pm (WST) and crashed in the forest between Ravensthorpe and Hopetoun.
Both pilots survived the crash and were able to free themselves from the wreckage but sustained minor injuries, WA police told Daily Mail Australia.
'The two pilots on board were retrieved from the crash site by helicopter and airlifted to Ravensthorpe Airport,' a police spokesperson said.
