Anyone know where Armadale 1st are? they just upgraded to 2nd alarm

air attack saying there is a lot of spotting ahead of the main fire and is talking about the need for property protection

They have put up some info in the Lancelin fire... not that much though and would be now pretty out dated as usual.

Yeah I would have thought the FESA PR machine would be pumping something out by now, there seems to be a few fires popping up probably from last nights/todays lightning, I'm just trying to figure out if there is any active lightning cells going through there at the moment, seems to be some going thr...

Lancelin fire is on Beacon Rd, fairly windy up there by the latest weather stats.

There are a lot of appliances going to Lancelin, all were just upgraded to Fire call (21:05), any info?

Guildo and basso voleys are going normal road so it will just be for relief, at about 1600 midland with two light tankers turned out to it and halfway up got stood down then told to continue normal road 5 minutes later... thats all I've got on it!

Fixed wings are DEC operated so in the past they were used by FESA on request to DEC, you'll find they don't use fixed wings in the built up areas as much now days simply because now FESA has the Helitacks so it is simpler and quicker for them to get the Helitacks (as well as better for smaller fires)

DEC have a few fires to the south east, sounds like north of Dwellingup area. They have 2 air attacks there so I'm guessing thats where they are heading.

They're some good links!
The DEC boys have/had a few fires south east of mundaring due to the lightning but all pretty small from the sounds of it.
