Often Ranger vehicles will turn out to fire emergencies. I thought I'd create a thread for pics of them.

Albany (I hate blurry shots...)


Denmark

Edit No Albany, they must be doing the same thing as gosnells "eyes on the street"

I guess so. I saw WAPol pushing the "Eyes On The Street" thing on TV last year.

Recently saw the Bunbury and Busselton Rangers now have red/blue lights...looks good.

Re Eyes On The strret most local governments have adopted the eyes on the street campain the state government pushed this about 18 mnth ago i have freinds who work for councils and laugh at it they are like most people these days and dont wont to get involed in things that meean they could have repocusions , which is a shame because thats were the problems are stemming from people need to take more notice of whats going on around them not just turn a blind eye

They had a short ad campaign on tv a short time ago as well.

The bunbury rangers LED lightbar looks awesum like a xmas tree pretty much.

what do they need r/b light for , are they gonna start showing up to stray dog complaints P2?

No idea-the cockburn ranger has red/amber lightbar on his and also seen a white 4wd with fire chief on it with a red/blue xl code 3 ligthbar on it

In many country shires the Ranger is an FCO and first response to fire incidents. You'll find some volunteer FCO's/Chiefs/Deputy Chiefs also have red/blue lights and sirens on their private vehicles.

This is really frustrating for Police, people want to complain about incidents happening however when it push comes to shoves too many people arn't willing to go to court and give evidence.

Rangers in the country are usually Bush Fire Control officers so thats why they have the red and blue lights, ull see that if u see the Shire of Busselton or Shire of Augusta/Margeret River Rangers. We dont tend to go p2 for wandering dog complaints
