- Helicopters land to refuel, Coulson Bombers 132 & 139 drop in the distance, and my first smokenado!
Woodridge / Neergabby / Chitna Road Bushfire incident, as seen from 25 kilometres away at:

Love your videos! One of the only channels that post about Western Australian emergency services and bush fires.
Glad you like them!
Smodo? Smonado? Good video produced good shots
Didn’t realise you were there mate. Would have come and said Gday.
Next time! 😁
He’s my Uber driver 😂
Didn’t end up having to go to this one. Was put on standby though.
Rip bomber 139
The pilots are okay, that's the important part!
@@thekiwicanuck Exactly! Remarkable escape, Obviously wasnt there time to go.
I Prefer New Zealand have those, My country is getting ready for the big cyclone storm.
Thekiwi, I was viewing this on flight radar, Would've come if i knew about the sports centre place, how'd you find out if you dont mind me asking?
There are a number of locations where air support can refuel during a longer incident, to save them flying back to Jandakot or wherever they're from. Sometimes you can work it out from the patchy radar tracks, but the aviation buffs listen in to the radio scanner, and know where all the refuelling sites are. I'm somewhere in the middle, this time someone told me they were using Gingin that day and I'd been there before during the Red Gully bushfire. Many of the usual refuelling sites feature in my previous videos, Landsdale, Chidlow, Coolamon, Medina, and most recently, Lark Hill...
@@thekiwicanuck I’ll take the credit 😊
Knowledge and my help😅
