No. In fact, water bombers were made available.
Deryck runs the government operations centre and can provide more details.
Water bombers were actually made available. Everybody looks at us, asking “Why weren't they used?” It's the incident commander on the ground who has to take a look at when it's safe to do so. When we visited, they clearly showed that it would have been absolutely dangerous for them to use the water bombers at that time. Helicopters that had night vision capability were also made available as well, but it's the incident commander on the ground who has to make the decision.
Deryck, do you want to elaborate on that?
