HI all I heard Rescue 65 book onto 6AR FRI NITE on channel 55 heading to an accident in WOODBRIGDE South of Perth took 11 min to get there. Was talking to Woodbrigde Ambo,s on Ch55 as Ambo,s radio US? Hi Glen, Do you perhaps mean Woodridge and 1pm Saturday afternoon? (little too much Christmas chee...

i take it youve never been to a huge bushfire with the frs involved................... there is usually about 5-10 pumps lined up down the road becuase only the light tankers can get in im not takin the piss im just saying chriso :P Alot more than you, I suspect. Why do you think most career statio...

Spending on Career and Volunteer FRS is by FESA. Spending on Bush Fire Brigades is by the local Shire/Town/City councils. (eg spending on Quinns Rocks VBFB is by the City of Wanneroo.) If you don't like the way money is spent then complain to those organisations - not here as this is a Scanner Foru...

Breaking the law off your own back and obeying the reasonable oral direction of a Police Officer or Authorised person are two completely different things. You cant even break the law to get out of the way of an emergency/police vehicle This is a blanket quote from the Govt because to explain the mi...

last time i went up they had a few more than 2 but im not arguing anymore wat would happen if king park went up theyd be stuffed!!! You have Perth 1st and Perth 2nd as far as pumps are concerned. Thats it. Kings Park board has a few fire appliances and Daglish is just down the road. Besides in King...

they had quite a mix up with transsmissions at that fire due to distance from 6ar/6ip possibly wrong channel That's interesting... from what I've been hearing, apart from a comms problem where the 6AR <> 6IP link was one way only for a while all the traffic on 6AR is still on 6IP. Is there a set ti...

if u look at the FESA site ull see medium and heavy tanker exactly the same they are just called 2.4s so let me get this straight perth have like 5 pumps and 1 lighttanker ?>? The vehicle list on the website is VERY out of date. Perth has 2 pumps, one being a heavy pump, 1 light tanker and a CLP. T...

You cant even break the law to get out of the way of an emergency/police vehicle Road Traffic Code 2000 272. Obedience to police or authorised persons (1) Every pedestrian and driver shall obey the signal by hand or the reasonable oral direction given by a member of the Police Force or: (b) an auth...

Main Roads are looking at making their HERO patrol vehicles capable of emergency responce in certain circumstances to ensure smooth traffic flow. I can not think of a need for a tow truck to be an emgergency vehicle, simply moving a car off the road is not an emergency situation. .. and neither is ...

There is no way that Towies should have any priority to go to jobs at all. If I happened to see them using there lights I would definatly be looking into it. They only have authority to use their (orange) lights when in a stationary position at an accident. Thats not exactly correct (the last bit) ...

44 = Not as reported / nothing found 66 = Minor incident 88 = Major incident Nothing to do with back-up... One unit can deal with an 88 if it has the resources on board. The alarm classification determines units on site... The FESA Fire Services SOP's actually have it written a little differently, ...

Hey, Does anyone have a Copy of the Road Traffic Act? I'd be very intested to have a read of it, and its regulations. :S You would think if we have to OBIDE by this ACT, it would be freely available on the Internet somewhere. It is, you just have to know where to look 8) http://www.austlii.edu.au/a...

Chan 23 is a CALM repeater which is used almost exclusively primarily for air operations. You may also find Chan 16 is sometimes used for incidents further to the north or when more than 1 incident with bombers is running at a time. Air Attack and Air Recce are completely different. Air Attack 1 is ...
