The program will see dedicated patrols closely monitor assigned areas for suspicious behaviour and persons of interest in an effort to minimise arson. Representatives attended from the CFS, MFS, SES, SAPOL, Department for Environment and Heritage (DEH), ForestrySA, Bureau of Meteorology, SA Water and Department of Education and Children's Services. The launch was set with an impressive backdrop of the SAPOL Polair helicopter and 12 trucks from the respective fire fighting agencies.
