Often Ranger vehicles will turn out to fire emergencies. I thought I'd create a thread for pics of them.

In many country shires the Ranger is an FCO and first response to fire incidents. You'll find some volunteer FCO's/Chiefs/Deputy Chiefs also have red/blue lights and sirens on their private vehicles.

This is really frustrating for Police, people want to complain about incidents happening however when it push comes to shoves too many people arn't willing to go to court and give evidence.

Rangers in the country are usually Bush Fire Control officers so thats why they have the red and blue lights, ull see that if u see the Shire of Busselton or Shire of Augusta/Margeret River Rangers. We dont tend to go p2 for wandering dog complaints :)
