Interstate response to $500,000,000 hailstorm.

WA, SA, NSW & Tasmania sent teams.

Nice kit!

By the looks of things all the vehicles have Red & Blue lights on em. Some amazing bits of kit in those pics Magnus. When will WA aka the Wait Awhile state get kits like this?? bout time they kitted us up like that.

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.

Nope, never came to our unit mate. can you ask Crash if he's willing to send it down one Tuesday night for Melville to have a look at?

I think it's finished it's tour, but the proper channels exist for a reason...use them.

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.

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.
