The helicopter flew 3.5 hours on firefighting operations following its tasking to Wesburn on Friday afternoon.
Saturday morning has seen the team tasked back to Wesburn again where they are operating in the catchment area for the Upper Yarra Reservoir which provides water to the city of Melbourne.
Today will see the Bambi Bucket system configured to deliver Phos-Chek redardant onto containment lines that have been established by ground firefighting teams over recent days.
Reports from the crew indicate that they are settling into operations well.
The aircraft and bucket are performing fine and we now have all the phone, radio, and pager links in place with the State Airdesk who control taskings of all aircraft.
