Re: Major structure fires (3rd alarm+) 2013/14

Maddington just called an 88 3rd alarm. They are also unable to attack the fire directly.

Update.
Firefighters now using foam to try and control the fire.
They have an injured firefighter who has fallen halfway down a ladder.
Requesting another pump and St Johns urgently.
