Some deets on the cause of #CanberraFires. An army troop transport helicopter like this one, an MHR90, used a strong landing light during a reconnaisance mission.
The light was necessary to help it land safely in the smoky conditions. But it created enough heat to ignore the grass underneath it.
Lieutenant-General Greg Bilton says the fire started radpily under the helicopter, which was damaged, but was able to take off and return to RAAF Fairbairn.
