Lithgow Fire Station took this video while undertaking asset protection at the top of Mt Canobolas.
The footage shows the Birddog directing the VLAT over the site to allow retardant to be laid, this retardant is laid to inhibit fire progress. It certainly is not an easy job.
The fire did come close to the communications infrastructure but ground crews quickly subdued the flames and all infrastructure was saved
