Perth USAR truck - arrived while I was taking photo's at Belmont.
2 other vehicles that have no ID marking so not sure what they're for and whether they are SES, or FRS, or other.

The Patrol is Comms Techs. FESA's Communications people are based out of Belmont (not to be confused with WAERN, which is separate).

The third photo carries BA tanks, probably among other things, it turned up to the Wembley Downs fire to restock the vehicles.

Tanks? That's a carton!
(They're called cylinders.)
It would be a ute from the BA or Training Departments if it brought in spare cylinders.

Haha...Might have a couple of vehicles for ferrying around cylinders, for ease of getting them around as Forrie is out of the way...so is Belmont for that matter but Forrie more so.

Urban Search and Rescue.
Basically looking mainly at structural incidents. A car vs house is the most simple and common, right through to dealing with what happened on the 11th of September in 2001, when teams were sent in to stabalise what was left of the buildings and remove surface casualties. It then looks at marking of locations of known/suspected casualties and for WA in career Fire and Rescue, it will include the extrication of sub surface casualties using a variety of tools from goose neck camera's to concrete circular saws.
