The TA Thread (serious & fatal)

[Tyranus]

A number of stations have a second light tanker. I believe it's all the stations with relievers. Midland for example currently has 2 Light Tankers. So Duncraig and Wangara are probably in the same situation, don't have a 2nd pump like Freo and Daglish, but do have a 2nd Light tanker. If you look at the labels it probably said Duncraig 2nd LT or similar.

cheers,

It appears a vehicle has crossed the median strip taken out a tree and run head on into 2 vehicles heading east on Whitfords Ave.
Took half an hour to cut the P plater out of their vehicle which was the worst damaged.

Will be on 7 news and Ten news tonight

Got a msg and a picture sent through to me by a freind who stopped. Absolutly, horrific

i've never heard duncraig 1st or duncraig 2nd on the radio. I've only ever heard "duncraig turning out to... " I live fairly close to their to duncraig fire station and i've only noticed one pump and lt sitting there. On occasion though i have seen one sometimes two even spare lt's sitting out the back. I do know that wangara has a specialised trailer out the back for something but can't remember its purpose though.

[Tyranus]

Yep Muzza they'ed still call it in as Duncraig turning out, but instead of having 1 LT following they will have 2, certainly that's how Midland does it. Anyway, back on topic...

On a double duty today - enroute to Motorplex from the Manduarah Crab Festival, we attended a single vehicle TA - Cnr Anketell Rd and Rockingham Rd? - in Kwinana Beach.

Late model Holden Statesman completley demolished the TCL and driver according to Hope Valley SO - absconded, no medical assistance required, and continued to Motorplex.

TCL was written off - huge frontal damage to the Statesman.

I noticed a new traffic car - TE-208 (i think it was) in a very metalic Silver Colour in HWP markings.
