Bush Fire Ingleburn 29/10/23
Fire & Rescue NSW and NSW RFS crews responded to reports of a Bush Fire in the reserve near Wilkinson Crescent at Ingleburn.
Crews arrived to find a fast moving fire travelling through bush and grassland, threatening houses in Wilkinson Crescent which were successfully defended by firefighters. Further crews responded to the south of the fire, working from Victoria Road Minto to protect the sports club and power station.
As the fire continued to gain strength and escalate, the fire jumped the South West rail line into open grasslands and began to speed rapidly towards houses in Bow Bowing. Firefighters managed to defend and save Hattah Way & Carnarvon Street Bow Bowing, with pumpers defending the houses whilst tankers chased the fire through the grasslands.
The fire then made a hard run up the large hill towards the Odyssey House complex, with the fire crowning through scrub and flame height reaching in excess of 10 metres as the fire burnt up the hill. Firefighters managed to successfully save Odyssey House with no damage to the complex.
The fire continued to burn to the west, threatening houses along Warrumbungle Place, Bow Bowing. Firefighters worked from the powerline easement along with a water bombing helicopter to successfully protect the properties as the fire continued towards Campbelltown Road.
As the fire approached Campbelltown Road, the road was closed and crews positioned themselves to hold the fire, including laying a foam blanket along the road edge. As the fire approached, crews from the north and south were able to pinch the fire off, successfully stopping it from crossing Campbelltown Road.
The fire consumed a total of 45 hectares of bush and grass, which firefighters spent the next 7 hours working to completely extinguish. The fire is now completely under control and crews are continuing to patrol the fire and extinguish hotspots into the night.

People saying some of the older equipment would be retired by now.... Im RFS and living in a quite rural town. After Sydney or a big town is done using it for 10-15 years it get sent to us for us to use for another 10-15 ... Lol. We get hand me downs up here.

No it wasn’t pretty less than ordinary job actually! I’ve seen volunteers do a LOT better! Considering they are paid staff they should understand flank attacks as well as black attacks on the fire… one of those trucks could have held a grass fire barrier, dug up the ground and taken out the spot fires if they did proper training for this type of fire!

Anyone know why there’s a crew member wearing a BA set at the start of the video? Just seemed a bit odd to me. If anything a P3 mask when fighting a vegetation fire but wearing BA would be extreme taxing and cause fatigue quite quickly but in saying that none of the other crew are wearing one in the same level of smoke. Also not bowling that hose to connect to the dividing branch? Is having a member with BA on just a precautionary measure for asset protection?

@hughman3241 9 ай бұрын

Modern BA is fairly lightweight and not an issue. Provides a level of flexibility in a wind change or if conditions deteriorate.

@mikemazaski5749 9 ай бұрын

@@hughman3241 just seems unnecessary and potentially dangerous. Bushfire fighting is very exhausting and fatiguing for very long periods of time. Carry an extra 15kg with 15-30 minutes of air while fighting a bushfire for hours makes no sense. I thought there might be a specific reason he’s wearing BA in this example.

@hughman3241 9 ай бұрын

They are 60 minute cylinders in this clip and the specific reason would be severe smoke impact during property protection.

@johnpaulson8199 9 ай бұрын

@@mikemazaski5749 So the reason why we wear BA is due to smoke. Over long periods of time breathing smoke can cause a lot of health problems. So what we're slowly doing is trying to introduce BA more in the field to keep our members in the fight for longer but also to minimise health risks as well. So some brigades have BA if the members are qualified some don't, it varies from brigades and what areas they're in.

@vhwft 9 ай бұрын

I don’t understand why they don’t have more special tractors and dozers to create firebreaks in the grass. Seems like it would be helpful and possibly save some water or at least give them more time to control.

@GAGDR660 10 күн бұрын

that’s why they have drip touch’s, There use to make backburns without destroying the land, Even tho the fire prob destroyed it, and it would take a long time to get them out and off the trailers

@vhwft 10 күн бұрын

@@GAGDR660 yeah I get that, but back burning often really depends on weather conditions. And I also get it all come down to the dollar. But with how many fires we face, you’d really think we’d have more specialist equipment for it. Stuff custom built for the local terrains.

Why is the RFS bloke constantly walking around with a SCBA on?

@bluenoodles2566 29 күн бұрын

So they don’t expose themselves to carcinogens or long-term dangers on their bodies whilst doing extremely laborious and challenging volunteer work for an extended period of time. Safety is almost upmost priority and although bush firefighting scenarios don’t expose you to the same carcinogens or hazardous gases as structural firefighting/motor vehicle fires, the RFS is moving towards the idea of normalising CABA in these situations for the benefit of our volunteers. What I’m concerned about is that bloke hooking up the hydrant line while it’s still twisted like that… takes 2 seconds to straighten it with 2 people.

Mucho de esto y mucho de aquello pero cero tacticas de combate muchachos?! me parece perfecto que dispongan de recursos casi ilimitados pero aqui en argentina, mas precisamente en la region del norte, con mucho menos de los que ustedes emplearon para un solo incedio, nosotros les plantamos cara al gigante rojo y duramos mas. Un equipo de respiracion? Para que y tu entrenamineto hermano? Desgastas el cuerpo mucho antes de los necesario, por eso, mas tecnicas y menos despliegue de equipo, osea, esta bien tener mucho de todo pero llega un mometo en donde no sabes que usar ni en que momento hacerlo, pero bueno esta fue solo mi humilde opinion.

Where's our prime minister ... People lost their shit when Morrison was away the last time , in fact he was away before those fires even started but people wanted to blame him for everything. Albo's away and nobody's saying a thing.

@Hebdomad7 9 ай бұрын

It's no way near the scale of the previous fires that why. Remember back then, Scomo was in Hawaii on holiday, Albo's currently working on a diplomatic mission to China to ensure Australia is able to export goods to China. Other things not being reported is the massive revitalisation of emergency services coordination and increase in water bombing aircraft. Things the libs basically ignored.

What a shit show!! FRS out of their depth again - especially at the start. Water supply issues but they are spraying it everywhere instead of working with the fire. Try conserving water and ditch the high volume branches. Operating in a high carbon smoke plume under high voltage powerlines, sitting on their arses, etc. The list goes on and on. FRS are very good at spraying large volumes of water on the hot stuff but seldom know how to manage a bushfire effectively. They are great at sitting around on asset protection though....so work with their strengths. Thank god the RFS volunteers turned up to sort the FRS mess out. And yes I am a firefighter.

@hughman3241 9 ай бұрын

Reticulated supply means water isn't an issue. 38mm hose is standard for property protection. Standard practice to let the fire burn to a controlled APZ and protect properties as it arrives. Seems like they worked safely under the powerlines without issue. Another keyboard warrior without a clue.

When it comes to grass and bush fires rfs do a lot more of them. That whole front pretty much was put out by 1 cat1 from behind, when it comes to MVAs and structure F&R know what they are doing. like the fire up near Newcastle 8 fire&rescue tankers and 2RFS cat1s and a 9, 85%+ was extinguished by the cat 1s and that was the number in their report they worked out using their cool new drone. @@hughman3241
