Fighting Forest Fire
The photograph is courtesy of the family of George Dey. George took many forestry photographs in his forestry career and many of those are now shown on this web site. Check under ‘Groups’ and George Dey Collection.
The location of this fire is not given but diary note indicates George visited fire at ‘Ulladale above Golfcourse’ and that there were three helicopters involved. Can anyone give more details?
It looks to be a fierce fire in among young pine, gorse and dead bracket with lots of slopes and difficult ground. Fire fighters are having a hard time and crews are possibly filling the helicopter buckets from the tenders.
