I was wondering whether you hung around after your previous video of the light tanker flying through the smoke at Kwinana, to catch the C-130 tanker.
Could hear they went in to knock it out hard before they ran out of daylight. As the fire creeped towards the BP refinery and other gas producers.

[@thekiwicanuck]

I only caught it from a distance, it's near the end of the video...

[@blakeclark455]

That fire was 2 mins away from my house

[@grimbiohazard7059]

It was 1 min away for me

[@jurassicanimations0926]

if you want good firefighting aircraft come to Austraila

[@alandoolan9103]

how was it lit?

[@thekiwicanuck]

The news said the cause was unknown. That area is part industrial, part bushland, so who knows...
