How about fighting a large out of control bushfire where lives and property were deemed to be at risk by the DFES? Is that not a good enough reason to bring out the big toys?
Yes certainly - but that wasn't the case here according to the reports we've seen. It was in open bushland - albeit a national park. So far I've not seen anything which suggest lives and property were at risk here.
I wasn't the first one to ask the question BTW. Please refer post #53 earlier in the thread.
