Current edition of Emergency Services report
The “Emergency Services Report” has been created to assist preservation of life in any situation by offering useful tips and information. Simple, yet essential skills and knowledge can preserve life, protect a casualty and possibly prevent a potential life threatening accident - knowledge which no parent, partner, motorist or workmate can do without. We envisage that through our efforts in producing this publication, even if the messages we wish to convey can save one life, hopefully.
Inside this edition
The current edition of Emergency Services Report is a Special Feature on 'Arial Firefighting in Australia'. The development of aerial firefighting and forestry in Australia ran in parallel with the rapid improvements in aircraft technology over the last century. As more advanced and capable aircraft became available firefighters and foresters quickly sought opportunities to utilise and adapt them. Aircraft have three main advantages over ground resources: speed, access, and observation. Aircraft have been used for a wide range of tasks including reconnaissance, firebombing, crew transport, aerial ignition, back burning, gathering infrared imagery as well as operational forestry tasks like aerial photography and surveys. We hope you enjoy our 20th edition. Please click the image to read more.
