Yep confirmed by AE - Alarm came from from a higher height - hence why Perth 2nd, and 3rd and TTL got dispatched.

TTL has gone home and others will follow too... Cheers for the updates guys...

Perth 1st and 2nd heading home. A belt for a variable resistor starter unit had snapped. Electrics had then caught on fire.

From my viewing platform at home witnessed

Perth CLP / 1st & 2nd / DM metro up the freeway under firecall. Around 10.30pm

What happened?

Sounds like a structure fire in Ossie Park's patch.

From what the Ozzie Park crew said on air - very lucky no classrooms were affected.

It made an interesting sight seeing the CLP under firecall, I just wish I was able to get my camera and take happy snaps in the dark

Hi Mr G and w_f.
From my understanding the 2 primary aerial appliances (based at Perth and Freo) are CLP 1 & 2 respectively (Combined Ladder Platform), and that the older (original) aerial appliance is TTL 3? (Turn Table Ladder) which is based at O'Connor and used as a spare when CLP 1 or 2 are out of service.
