This infrared video shows the effects of helicopters dropping water on a fire at Backwater in New South Wales, Australia. In the video colder objects, such as water, show up black or darker than warmer objects.
Direct hit! Take a look at the incredible work of these pilots tackling a spot fire on the bush fire at Backwater. These pilots have been working with ground crews to slow the spread of the fire and save homes. #nswrfs #nswfires pic.twitter.com/zskWUY89yC
