During our Black Summer, more than 1,000 people came from North America to assist in firefighting efforts. The overlap in fire seasons in both hemispheres has huge implications for how we fight fire. Australia needs its own fleet of Large Air Tankers (LATs). www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

Fire seasons around the world are starting to overlap. This may leave Australia on its own

Experts say Australia can no longer rely on northern hemisphere nations for water-bombing aircraft and firefighters during our summer.
