After more than two months supporting United States fire agencies across 12 different states, the RFS Large Air Tanker 'Marie Bashir' has now finished her contract with the U.S. Forest Service.

During this period, she conducted more than 255 drops across 84 fires, delivering more than 3.6 million litres of retardant (or more than 950,000 gallons, for our American audience not using the proper system of measurement).

Our LAT will now undergo maintenance in California before heading home to RAAF Richmond, ready to support our communities during the upcoming fire season.

Thank you to all our aviation crews for their hard work and the support they've provided to US communities over the past few months.

Fire Danger Rating for tomorrow, Tuesday 22 September 2026 is MODERATE. Fire permits are required.
