Re: General fire discussions

What Wes said ^^^ The alarm classification determines a preset response of resources depending on the type of incident. Without the full tables, it's a bit pointless talking here about exactly what those resources are. In simple terms for each alarm level there is an increase of *at least* 1 more 'p...

Re: General fire discussions

Bassendean, Midland and Belmont were at a construction site. As I jumped out of the car they had just requested the CLP and SET was en route to support BA operations. They upgraded to 3rd alarm when discovering the difficult to extinguish areas requiring additional BA wearers, but declined the ICV. ...

Re: New Bunbury FRS Pump (UPHR)

To hold the massive spotlights! :) Will be due to the country travel that the appliances do at the regional stations.
