Rescue operation
We were hiking in the Blue Mountains in Australia and I noticed the helicopters hovering around above the canopy. As we came to the lookout on the edge of the cliff we could see the big fire burning on the cliffs opposite us and smoke coming from the valley below. Some of the fire spread down the cliff and into the thick forest.
The firefighters were being lowered down into the bush to try and stop the fir from spreading. All this happened only weeks after massive bushfires burned acres of forest in Victoria.
