Stretching the friendship here 5001020, had to dig out the retired Samsung D600.

This was parked outside Fasta Pasta in Innaloo.

Very shit photo, but you get the idea.

Are they govt. or private sector?

Next fastlane is going to start calling me an Aviation Rescue and Fire fighting chaser....

I know theres a private mob round the corner at the airport who have fire trucks (not the airport firies) but there more for onsite refulling for helicopters i belive for safety reasons i dunno all i can remember is 2 white trucks as you go down to where the private planes run up north.

Thanks Tom. Im not sure if these are the ones but if its the helitacs your reffering to they have a couple of support trucks that carry fuel and foam, from a distance they look a bit like a BFS unit, white with beacons, helicopters australia decals.

Cheers

I believe that these are the trucks in question. As Jas said, they are the support units for the Helitacs from Helicopters Australia.
