Firebird One Hundred: New Aerial Firefighting Tech
Update: 2025-12-18
Description
The Australian Capital Territory Rural Fire Service is enhancing its firefighting capabilities with new aircraft, including the Firebird one hundred, a helicopter equipped with a high-resolution camera for early fire detection. This technology aids in mapping fire lines, identifying at-risk properties, and planning escape routes. Two additional belly tanker helicopters, capable of carrying large water loads and rescuing crews, have also been contracted. These resources are crucial for protecting the community during the expected average bushfire season, with residents urged to prepare and stay informed.
