The Seaking is canadain too. Drops 4000kgs of water. They where running a 5 mins turn around from dump to dump.truly awe inspiring.

If it was the rural brigade you'd have a hard job tracking them down as their station would be all locked up and everyone back at their day jobs once it's all under control.
