Joint agency response for fire in the ACT

It was several cars alight in an outdoors recycling plant fire in the ACT suburb of Beard. ACT Fire and Rescue had two pumpers, two CAFS tankers and a commander attend and were assisted by Rescue Pumper 428 from FRNSW. A large excavator was used to pull apart the pile of recycling materials while ACT and NSW fire crews applied foam to extinguish the fire.
There may not be that many photos on hand, but what it does show is great comradery between the two services as they work side by side. Photos from 428 Queanbeyan.
