Information sourced from aviationwa.org.au/firefighting-aircraft-in-western-australia The Department of Biodiversity, Conservation, and Attractions (DBCA) uses American Champion 8GCBC Scouts as fire spotter aircraft for forest patrols in the south-west of WA, flying across areas set according to fire weather conditions. They fly more during the hotter months (about 3,500 hours) due to the increased fire risk. This photo is copyright © Kurt Finger, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
