Firefighting helicopter helps contain Killcare fire
A firefighting helicopter was used to help contain a bushfire on the Old Wagstaffe Trail at Killcare from about 1:30pm yesterday.
The helicopter took a number of low-level flights over the Peninsula, taking water from the lagoon at the Everglades Country Club.
The Pearl Beach brigade reported that crews from Killcare, Empire Bay and MacMasters Beach were in attendance, and that the Pearl Beach brigade had not been asked to attend.
Crews attending the fire reported at 2:35pm that they had contained the fire, but would remain in the area to ensure that the containment lines were secured.
