 Hi there, I'm Luke Patterson, CFA's aviation officer, working at headquarters in Burwood. This season we'll see a very similar aircraft leak to last season, with aircraft located at the same air base as last season, all on a 15 minute dispatch from time of call. Remember that your aircraft can only be dispatched via PDD, being pre-determined dispatch, or via your RDO, being the roster duty officer. Ensure once an aircraft comes on scene to your incident, that you establish a fire ground channel with Vicfire. This is so that you can communicate with the aircraft pilot or air attack supervisor to ensure that you are working an area that you want aircraft to be working in, and that it's safe for the aircraft to drop when needed. If you identify any hazards like single wire earth return lines, power lines, wires, or unauthorized RPAs, or commonly known as drones, in the airspace, please let your incident controller know so that we can remove those hazards or operations from the fire ground. Remember that aircraft are not an infinite resource. They are not located every 15 minutes down the road, like the next tanker. If you determine en route or on scene that you do not require an aircraft, please cancel the aircraft response through Vicfire. Following on from this pre-season update, you'll see a link to a fire bombing safety video. I encourage all your Brigade members to watch this video to re-familiarize yourself with how to work with the aircraft and safely with the aircraft on the fire ground. Thank you.
