The video has been shot and edited by Glen who shared, “we had some wonderful success stories with property and lives saved. We witnessed tragedy when what we could do wasn’t enough. It was a pleasure to be able to fly on the Orraral Valley fire, flying over Canberra where I grew up. Of the assets we were able to put phos-check around only one was lost. It’s been our pleasure to serve our community during these emergencies.”
Thank you Glen for sharing this incredible footage and our condolences to the Fahey family for their loss.
Glen currently resides in Norway with his fiancé and daughter.
