FURTHER HELI FIRE-FIGHT UPDATE: TV NEWS INTERVIEW:

Hi there,

The crew are still based at Wesburn and remain tasked on the Yarra Reservoir fire. Today started off reasonably quietly however in the late afternoon the helicopter was called in to stop a fire that had breached a containment line.

Having completed this task they were again called urgently, just before dark, to another containment line breach which was fought right up until last light.

The following link is to tonight's TV news story in NZ ... it was Lin's turn in front of the camera today.
