Hi there, No "air attack" is different, dosnt have all the fancy equipment. 611 is Air Intelligence. The equipment on that thing is awesome, mopping up a few eeks back and they were dirrecting us to hotspots we couldnt even see. At one point they told us to head to a hot spot 50m east of u...

Also a very general description of the incident. Scrub fire, report of smoke, illegal burn, etc

FRS the calls are sent to a unit in the appliances and BFS and VFRS? the message is sent to mobile phones and pagers. Usually when turning out the crew will state which incident their turning out to.

Thanks, the pics are great! Tyranus, it looks like we might be the only slow ones
Ive sent you a P.M

great, thats two so far. Can anyone suggest a time and place we meet up? Tyranus ive probably seen you on the fire ground at some point, im with Glen Forrest.

Is anybody else heading in on Monday? Should have a bit of a Warsug meetup.

Cheers

Yeah i thought theyd use the name change as a opportunity to loose their reputation. But to be honest there were just a couple of bad eggs there. the majority are good blokes. Though as you say they definetly need to work on their communication, they cant keep trying to work independently from every...

Yeah it was in one of the quarries in Darlington. We had Welshpool FRS, 2 Darlington LTs, 2 Glen Forrest LTs, a Sawyers Valley LT and 2 helitacs working initially. Was a real horrible one, trying to work in the quary.

Nice shots. Shame the action shots were a little blurry. Interesting seeing the Helicopters Australia trucks there too. Looks like fuel supply to me. Yep, the truck holds all the choppers fuel and foam. I had a good chance to see them this evening while waiting to be re tasked at the ICV. i wish id...
