They have a Road Crash Rescue role hence red/blues, and the hydraulic gear at the rear.

WA are slowly rolling out new trucks, Stirling 02 likely would have made a visit to your unit at some point for members to have a look at.

wow the vics really throw some money at the SES. Amazing looking trucks, looks like no expense was spared on there equipment.

Ford F250's or what ever they are, triangle blue & reds... very nice!!. I wonder if it was like that before 'black saturday'

Maybe a big federal govt money injection after?.

I was interested to see they have FESA patches? or am I going blind.
CANT HEAR THE POLICE ANYMORE?

I agree, it's great to see their state government pumping money to exactly where it is required. Mind you, as Winston Churchill once said "Give us the Tools, and we'll finish the job" (a quote from the historic Pearl Harbour movie).

It would be nice to see all Agencies, regardless Vollies or Career - to have a chance of "upgrading" their vehicles and equipment to bring them in line with our counterparts in the Eastern States.
