Crusader Hose Fighting the Cobrico peat fire

摘要

In mid-March 2018, a bush fire tore through Cobrico in Victoria's south-west,igniting the peat bog underneath. This left behind toxic levels of carbon monoxide and caused the temporary relocation of 20 per cent of residents. After attempting to bring the fire under control using helicopter water bombing, it was decided that a four kilometer layflat hose system would be a more efficient solution to extinguish the threat.
