With NSW on fire I can't help feeling I'm seeing and smelling our natural heritage going up in smoke
Where is the leadership ensuring we are doing all we can, using all possible resources to fight the fires and climate change? Deploy the army, get more air resources. Have the Airforced looked into this system that is used in the US:
MAFFS are portable fire retardant delivery systems that can be inserted into military C-130 aircraft without major structural modifications to convert them into airtankers when needed.
The MAFFS program, created by Congress in the early 1970s, is a joint effort between the U.S. Forest Service and Department of Defense (DoD). The U.S. Forest Service owns the MAFFS equipment and supplies the fire retardant, while the DoD provides the C-130 H and J model aircraft, flight crews, and maintenance and support personnel to fly the missions. https://www.fs.fed.us/managing-land/fire/planes/maffs
