Its great to see some "heavy armory" being used to fight fire.
It appears to be one of these:



New South Wales has signed a contract with United States-based Coulson Aviation to purchase three aircraft for firebombing duties, including a modified Boeing 737 large air tanker.

In addition to the modified 737, the contract announced by NSW Minister for Police and Emergency Services David Elliott on Wednesday also included two Citation V lead/intelligence aircraft.

The Minister’s statement noted the modified 737 would give the state year-round access to a large air tanker, given an increasing number of winter bushfires in recent times.

“Last fire season there were more fires during winter than across the summer months,” Elliott said.

Coulson Aviation said in a statement the 737 Fireliner, which was certified by the United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in as an air tanker and passenger transport in 2018, was the largest ever air tanker ever purchased by a country.

The aircraft can carry 15,150 litres of fluid while carrying 72 passengers.

“The NSW Government is committed to ensuring our firefighters have the tools they need year round to help protect lives and property.”
