🔥🚁 Our brand new burn trailer has officially clocked up its first job; supporting prescribed burn and vegetation management operations ✔️

Big thanks to everyone who had input into the planning, design and build of this important and very handy piece of equipment 🙏

🔥🚁 Controlled burning in the cooler months is one of the most important tools we have for reducing fuel loads and lowering the risk of large, intense bushfires later on.

When conditions are right, prescribed burns help remove built-up vegetation in a controlled way, protecting ecosystems, supporting land management objectives and helping safeguard communities and infrastructure before peak fire season arrives.

Lifting, placing and delivering where access is difficult or impossible by conventional means is all part of the job 💪🚁

The pilots might be the ones in the spotlight, but behind every successful operation is a ground crew keeping the cogs turning.

From planning and logistics to fuel, equipment, maintenance and making sure everything is where it needs to be, when it needs to be — plenty happens long before the aircraft leaves the ground.

In this game, it’s rarely a one-person show. The jobs get done thanks to a whole team working behind the scenes.

A nod to the crews on the ground today (and sometimes in the air), who often don’t get the recognition, but are a big part of what keeps operations moving. 👏🚁

From powerline construction and maintenance to lifting, inspections and other specialised aerial support; we can get crews to where they need to go, when they're needed the most!

🐉 The other week we showed you our ‘Red Dragon’ — a specialised incendiary machine.

This week we show you there’s more than one way to burn bush - introducing our Aerial Drip Torch. Same job, slightly different method.

❓How do we choose what one to use for which job?

Incendiary balls:
🔥 Drops small ping-pong-ball-like spheres that ignite after a delay
✅ Good for spot ignition patterns over large areas
✅ Precise spacing between ignition points
✅ Efficient for broad burns where you want many small fires to join up gradually
✅ Can cover country quickly
⚠️ Less immediate heat/intensity at each ignition point

Aerial Drip Torch (ADT):
🔥 Drips or sprays burning gel/fuel continuously beneath the helicopter
✅ Creates continuous ignition lines rather than spot fires
✅ Useful when stronger, more consistent ignition is needed
✅ Can establish containment lines or burn edges more effectively
✅ Often preferred in heavier fuels or when a hotter ignition is required
⚠️ Usually slower and uses more fuel/product

Fresh out of the workshop and straight to work 🔥

Our brand new burn trailer is looking pretty schmick as it heads out on its first job.

Purpose built to support safe, efficient aerial incendiary operations, this setup is ready for plenty of kilometres, early starts and long days 👌

🌱 From mine rehabilitation to large-scale erosion control and environmental works, aerial hydromulching allows fast, efficient coverage across difficult or inaccessible terrain that ground rigs just can’t reach easily.

By combining seed, fertiliser, mulch and binding agents into a slurry, the process helps:

✔ stabilise exposed ground
✔ reduce erosion and dust
✔ encourage rapid vegetation establishment
✔ improve rehabilitation outcomes

One of the more satisfying jobs that we get to do here at Commercial.

☀️ Today’s forecast:

Warm and sunny with a sure chance of aerial operations throughout the day…
Winds light, visibility clear…

Possibility of a cockpit selfie — mainly due to a persistent social media manager harassing us for more content 📸😅
