@FFMVic_Chief @DELWP_Vic Thank you Ben, you taught me so much about forest fires, Gippsland environment and being a L3 incident controller. I am forever grateful that you shared your knowledge and wisdom. Thank you for your service

Our national Large Air Tanker landed today, carrying 15,000L of retardant, it's a real boost to our national aerial firefighting capability. This is a result of the Government investing $30mil each year to ensure availability of efficient aerial firefighting resources. @AFACnews

[Bureau of Meteorology, Australia @BOM_au]

The Bureau has confirmed that #LaNiña has formed in the tropical Pacific, with climate models suggesting it's likely to remain until at least the end of 2020.

Thank you to the @AusAirForce for their assistance in delivering retardant for our Large Air Tankers, all the way from the United States. This will go a long way to make sure we continue to protect communities across NSW and afar. #nswrfs #nswfires

[NSW RFS @NSWRFS]

Firefighters continue to make the most of benign conditions to contain 75 bush fires, of which 25 are still to be contained.
Rain continues to fall across a number of firegrounds, however the Far South Coast and along the border are still yet to receive any moisture. #nswrfs
