Quite correct Fastlane, but tomorrow is only rated as "high" up here in the hills so in theory there could be permit burns, although I can not see it being approved to light up. Hope everyone has a quite one tomorrow. Didn't last. It's SEVERE for Metro Coast and Hills now. Updated at 9:47...

You can't burn on Very High or above anyway. It's prohibited under the Bush Fires Regulations 1954.

Don't think he was having a stab at rangers... just that they seem to be making reality shows about just about every profession these days, thats all...

Just curious, is it still being used? Or is it for training purposes?

It's a standby appliance. Light tanker behind as the SET crew is 4 personnel but the old SET01 is single cab.

The mirror couldn't connect to the originating stream - started at 10am, problem with your DSL Gav?

Answering a statement from 3 years ago? c'mon!

It's preference. Tho, you cant hear a thing with the windows down (including the radio!)

I just spent 20 mins waiting outside a locked train with a heap of other people, boards flashing 1 min until departure. Seems the driver had gone awol. Took that long for someone to realise and track him down!

Trains still delayed from this morning... This won't help!

Uh, no. Definately not at that fire.

The new BFS LT's look really good the Brigade next to mine just got a new one and the light bars are very interesting to watch. One thing I noticed they have got a module for the foam so that you dont get foam in the tank. eh? A foam inductor? If so, the vehicles have had them for a long time now. ...

Are they multi-band?

which one?

Wanneroo Fire Support BFB - 1st Monday
Quinns Rocks BFB - 2nd Monday
Two Rocks BFB - 2nd Thursday
Wanneroo Central BFB - 3rd Monday

They default to Chan 23 in the Metro Area. They'll only go to a Simplex channel if the fixed wing bombers (or other Helitacs) are already using that frequency at another fire.

Catastrophic is FDI of 100+.

Interestingly, Victoria (already) has dropped Catastrophic and is using the phrase "Code Red" only now, as Catastrophic scares the tourists... !
