anyone know who this belongs to? it also has flashers at the top of the back window one each side of the break light !

I would suggest maybe a DM DO, Chief or something as that nature definitely DFES related

Most of DFES operational cars are marked though. Even the Chaplain has a marked DFES Rodeo!

I didn't get a chance to get beside him so i couldn't see inside.

Comms I think, or a new DO vehicle.

Could be a DEC manager. They often drive unmarked vehicles

It belongs to Supt. North Coastal. The chaplain has an unmarked Colorado.

I find it unusual that DFES would have any unmarked vehicles, unlike the police, they want to be seen on the road, Dash mount and rear window lights dont provide enough visual warning from the side of the vehicle as a light bar does.

I have seen and spoken to a superintendent from DFES that drives an unmarked small suv like this so can confirm they drive unmarked.
AO11912, I agree about the visability but super's don't drive fire call very often.

How do you know that? as nra555 said, DEC has heaps of unmarked suv's for there managers with very similar dash light, aerial and gps set ups. There is 5 vehicles exactly like this floating around the Wanneroo office.

Yeah you're wrong... it doesn't HAVE to be DFES related...

Put it down to a wild guess... All supts drive unmarked vehicles. Not all of them are fitted with dash/deck lights.

Im going to GUESS (because thats all you guys are doing here) that its DEC, because of the vehicle (and yes alot of agencies use unmarked vehicles because their cheaper and have a higher resale value, and DEC dont go to jobs "Fire Call" so there goes your "Visibility" argument. but also the location of the photo, Looks like Ocean Reef rd nr Heartman dr next to the caltex (Near the Pine Forrest)

Let's all just agree that it either is or isn't DFES or DEC or someone else. Job done, arguement over......
