| Abstract: | Dropping the fire retardant PHOS-CHEK from aircraft onto small fires is now part of the initial attack effort on fires in remote mountain areas in Victoria. The operation is based on the results of research into the properties of four fire retardants and the suitability of available aircraft. This research is described together with operational aspects of handling fire retardant at established air attack bases. |
