Big fire west of Pardelup (Plantagenet Shire in which Mount Barker is the major town) - at least Forest Hill BFS (FH 1 and 6 heard), Perrilup 2.4 and Middle Ward 2.4B in attendance. Plantagenet Shire Office also heard.
Ops on local BFS repeater 31 and ch 40 UHF CB.
Update @ 1720: Forest Hill 3.4, Forest Hill 5 & Perrilup 1 heard, Forest Hill 6 seems to be coordinating, dozer has arrived and 2 others will be available, sounds like they had an aircraft operating as a spotter too. Mt Barker VFRS called requesting notice if properties are under threat.
Update @ 1724: Denbarker 3.4 arrived.
Update @ 1720: Now sectorised. Cause most likely to be lightning strike. Apparently there were others in Porongurup, Kendenup and Narrikup all done the same way.
Update @ 1746: Pardelup 1 heard being mentioned.
Update @ 1754: Perrilup 3.4 1 (must have 2 or more) heard being called.
Update @ 1756: Perrilup 3.4 1 might actually be Perrilup 2.4 2. LOL
Update @ 1823: Middle Ward 3.4 heard. Shire 1 and Shire 2 also heard.
Update @ 2246: Sounds as though the fire is within control lines and is being managed appropriately. Some appliances are being released from the incident. Well done to the Bushies - a good job done.

Think you'll find they are INCLUDING the bushies in that. I know we were certainly flat out ALL weekend, and all of that was at fires out of our area.. and mainly well inside the gazetted (FRS) fire district.JG-103 wrote:The news was sayin how tiring the weather is on our fire fighters.. well if they shared the burdon of the bush fires with the bushies then they wouldnt have to do all the work... - my 2 cents
The fires in Perth are the minority of whats been going on.
