I'd change it over to the embed from here, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkXSMZBdTLU it's better quality and direct from the CFA (Country Fire Authority), this looks like a re-encode of it.

Change over the embed so it's easier to see and I'll promote it

done...thanks for the heads up!

And so... *promote this poor little bugger

*humanitarian , even tho this would strictly be koalaterian, I think the tag is worthy of these firefighters, because of the people they usually save and the spirit they show in this video. Always looking to help.
