Terrifying vision has emerged of a NSW RFS fire truck being overrun by bushfire earlier this month. On 4 January, the Dunmore Rural Fire Brigade was fighting the Currowan fire at Tomerong, in the Shoalhaven.

Nestled near Cooma, the #RFS Adaminaby brigade has been protecting three townships since 1940—through scrub, and bush fires, even during winter when it snows. With rugged terrain limiting truck access, they team up with #RFS helicopters to deploy their remote fire crews into the mountains. When they do hit the road, it’s often for rescue missions with heavy gear in tow. If you've been thinking about joining the #RFS, now is the time!

With the #RFS Large Air Tanker 'Marie Bashir' reaching more than 3 million litres of retardant delivered on fires in the United States this season, we thought we'd share this video about the Aussie pilot in the cockpit.
