Following the cessation of support for the original series by QLD Fire Services, The Royal Australian Air Force Fire Training School provided practical fire ground training for the crew of the next series featuring Totty Goldsmith and Andy Anderson. The then Commanding Officer was highly impressed with their application, and their desire to "Get into the role". Fire fighting aside, Andy Anderson's role in the series was to assume Command on promotion and the Air Force provided him with advice as to how that was managed.
