๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿš 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.

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 โ€” plenty happens long before the aircraft leaves the ground.

In this game, itโ€™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 donโ€™t get the recognition, but are a big part of what keeps operations moving. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿš

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!

๐Ÿ‰ The other week we showed you our โ€˜Red Dragonโ€™ โ€” a specialised incendiary machine.

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

โ“How do we choose what one to use for which job?

Incendiary balls:
๐Ÿ”ฅ Drops small ping-pong-ball-like spheres that ignite after a delay
โœ… Good for spot ignition patterns over large areas
โœ… Precise spacing between ignition points
โœ… Efficient for broad burns where you want many small fires to join up gradually
โœ… Can cover country quickly
โš ๏ธ Less immediate heat/intensity at each ignition point

Aerial Drip Torch (ADT):
๐Ÿ”ฅ Drips or sprays burning gel/fuel continuously beneath the helicopter
โœ… Creates continuous ignition lines rather than spot fires
โœ… Useful when stronger, more consistent ignition is needed
โœ… Can establish containment lines or burn edges more effectively
โœ… Often preferred in heavier fuels or when a hotter ignition is required
โš ๏ธ Usually slower and uses more fuel/product

Fresh out of the workshop and straight to work ๐Ÿ”ฅ

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 ๐Ÿ‘Œ

๐ŸŒฑ 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 canโ€™t reach easily.

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

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

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