G'morning Paul,

 PQ> The notion reminds me of a monumental April Fools jest
 PQ> perpetrated by the combined media in Brisbane, in the early
 PQ> 70s I think it was.

Auckland's classic came from the DJ of the day, Phil Shone, who 
used 1 April to warn of a huge bee swarm, 1.5 miles long, 
descending on the city - and had people sealing their homes with 
sticky paper, laying in water and food for a siege and similar 
side effects.  The bureaucrats suspended him for a year for the 
deed...

 PQ> Them's the breaks.  Mind you, it's a capability that any
 PQ> Defence Force doesn't normally have a need for.  Now, it
 PQ> would be a natural capability for 'International Rescue',
 PQ> though... =:)

Ah me ... so what manner of Rescue vehicle might Brains invent to 
deliver real firestorm-quenching gunk ?  I still enjoy a good 
session of their model-making action....

Miles.
