Also interesting to see the large WA Fire Service decal on the IC.

Buddah.
The LRO [Line Rescue Vechile] is now a Holden, not a 4WD drive anymore.
The FLO is the following Vechile.
And that FRS Command Centre [ICV] is Belmonts and replacing the old Toyota Coaster which I have seen under fire call before and is quite a good chuckle seeing the curtains sway in the momentun!

showing one of the new Command Post trucks, but it didn't have a callsign ID on it.
The trucks you photographed at Subiaco and Jacob's Ladder are 2 different trucks (different rego plates).

Re: Jacobs Ladder, WAPOL Command, FESA Command and SCOOP! USAR!
The 2 USAR pods supposed to be at Canningvale and Malaga seem to spend more time at Forestfield Training centre unless they have 2 shoring and 2 breaching pods, which is a possibility as USAR cat 2 training is apparently quite regular.

The two USAR pods are at Canningvale.
Malaga has the Mass Decon Pod which I believe rarely moves out of its shed.

Just a quick correction, it has USAR on the POD, not the truck. The POD it is carrying doesn't define the role of the vehicle. It is just a POD transporter. The vehicle will turn up to site, drop the POD and either park up or drive away.written_ficton wrote: I was going to put platform on demand, but WARSUG have a limit on the headers. Hence USAR, it does say USAR on the side of the truck

USAR Truck is a different vehicle all together. This vehicle is called POD Carrier (this title, the correct title, would fit into subject title).written_ficton wrote:Correction, I couldn't put the full name in the title, hence why it went to USAR truckobserver wrote:Just a quick correction, it has USAR on the POD, not the truck.

Observer, if you had read through whole thread from top to bottom, you would have noticed that this matter had been previously discussed.
