Here are three links to info about the DC-10 in Australia. And the aircraft they sent is T911, by the way.
--An article at Flight Global about fire aviation assets down under, but there's not much current info about the DC-10.

--An article about the first time the DC-10 was used on a fire down under, on January 31.

--A video about the DC-10 down under and some still photos of the aircraft, including the interior.
