In following New South Wales Rural Fire on Facebook over the last few days I knew that much needed rain arrived over Australia that is helping with the ongoing bushfires that are still burning in New South Wales. (see this February 6th post). With the arrival of this rainfall in Australia comes the flooding, you may read about the New South Wales Rural Fire Service's flood operations here. Finally, Bill Gabbert of Wildfire Today wrote an article on February 7th reporting on how the rainfall in Australia has stopped some of the bushfires.
I wanted to offer you a glimpse, however brief, of the efforts of firefighters on the ground and in the air working the bushfires in New South Wales, Australia. The footage that I share below is a peak at the efforts of a small number of Australian firefighters on the ground and in the air as they battle bushfires southwest of Sydney Australia in January 2020. This video was uploaded to youtube on or about January 20, 2020 by Sydney Emergency.
