Re: VFRS Dedication Short Story

Can't wait to see how this unfolds.

Perhaps the moderators here could set up an area for prose - both fiction, and anacdotal accounts of incidents?

No writer myself, but i enjoy a good read.

Re: FESA frequencies

What is happening on channel 56 at the moment?

who uses channel 56? (what region)

I'm getting a lot of noise over the last 25 min.

BTW I was in Eastern suburbs when picking this up.

thought I'd check channel 6 and it is there also, so must be freq related.

I second that.

Re: Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to all!!

Heard sirens when I was in Wundowie at 1930 last night - not sure if it was VFRS or St Johns.

My thoughts went to the Vollie's and the people they were turning out for.
