A helicopter was used to douse a fire that broke out at Mount Tomaree in Shoal Bay, New South Wales on February 7 after an intense bush fire burnt through the previous evening.

A fire broke out in the late afternoon on Tuesday night leading the Port Stephen Examiner reported to compare the blazing burning on the mountaintop to an “erupting volcano”.

On Wednesday, as seen in this video, a helicopter was seen using a water bucket to put out the blaze. Credit: Jewell Drury via Storyful
