Do the Police and FRS incident command vehicles display the flashing green light when at an operation?

Nice Photos, and I think w_f has the honour of posting the first photo of a Quebec WAPOL vehicle.
Nice Work!

Been around for the fire season, mixed up with the old Belmont ICV. There's photo's of it from the Success Hill fire.AO11912 wrote:That command post truck, is that new?

Philby, the green flashing light is not always displayed. Not sure whether or not they have them fitted. At fires and searches I've noticed most people have the beacons off at Incident Control, unless incident control is being run from a pumper on the side of or on the fireground.

The WAPOL command truck was first scooped by another member on this board, I was able to get some great pictures of it while at the ACDC Concert

Great pics w_f.written_ficton wrote:...much appreciated for the heads up for the USAR being there!
I hate to be pedantic but it is in fact the 'POD Carrier' or 'POD Vehicle' (POD meaning Platform On Demand). The truck is a modified cab-chassis designed to take different PODs that are "winched" on for specific jobs (sort of like shipping containers). For this incident it has the 'Heavy Rescue/USAR Shoring' POD on board.
The USAR vehicle used to be an old Hino with a canopy back, but from memory i think it may now be a Landcruiser.

All very impressive especially the FESA Incident Command vehicle. Looks fabulous. Would love to get a look inside. If only they had something like that up in the top end.

I can quote you that the USAR truck is still the Hino!auntys_eyes wrote:Great pics w_f.written_ficton wrote:...much appreciated for the heads up for the USAR being there!

I was going to put platform on demand, but WARSUG have a limit on the headers. Hence USAR, it does say USAR on the side of the truck
Anyway, thanks for the heads up for the truck, it is appreciated. Our fellow WARGUG members have the ability to enjoy pictures that other members contributed!

No, completely different trucks. There are many different trucks that WAPol have set up as mobile Command Posts.Magnus wrote:written_ficton wrote:The WAPOL command truck was first scooped by another member on this board, I was able to get some great pictures of it while at the ACDC Concert

...What is a essentially a modified sea container coming towards you under lights and sirens very quickly...not something I particularly want to experience.
Yes I realise the 2 USAR pods are custom built from scratch, but they're close enough to a sea container.

Nice pics .
Where do they hide the POD truck and the Incident Command??
I came back from Adelaide and Melbourne not that long ago , both of those states have gone POD crazy , Adelaide in particular.
Also interesting to see the large WA Fire Service decal on the IC.
