As a part of fire fighting efforts, helicopters on hire to the NSW Rural Fire Service were used to supplement ground forces. These photos were taken at Pennant Hills Park, Pennant Hills on 03 January 2002. In all photos (with the exception of photo one), the helicopter is Fire Attack 04, registration VH-KHO. For more details on the chopper, see the Statistics page.

The helicopter hovers around the mini dam.
Two views of the helicopter pumping water into the holding tank from the mini dam.
The helicopter circles around the park.
Unexpectedly (especially considering there was no fire in the park), the helicopter dumped some water from the holding tank towards the ground.
