Happy Australian day everyone stay safe

Last Wednesday three innovative Sunshine Coast-bas

Last Wednesday three innovative Sunshine Coast-based companies demonstrated how they are changing the way bushfires are detected, fought and extinguished.

Using a series of artificial intelligence systems that collect and analyse data of ground-based sensors, cameras and satellites, Fireball International detects and reports on bushfires in less than three minutes from ignition.

With the support of the QFES, a fire was lit to demonstrate how Fireball detects, maps and reports on a bushfire. The fire was successfully detected from two cameras and reported to McDermott Aviation who proceeded to fill up a Helitak expandable bladder that is affixed to their helicopter.

Demonstrating the speed, agility and manoeuvrability of their helicopters in responding to fires, we witnessed the incredible skills of their pilot as he hovered above the ground to fill the tank and then extinguish the fire.

Helitak Fire Fighting Equipment specialise in the design and manufacture of aerial firefighting equipment

The talent we have in Australia across so many industries is inspiring and these three companies deserve kudos for the work they are doing in the fight against bushfires. We must do all we can to support them.
