Did they just call that one in as "fourth alarm" or "false alarm". I thought they then asked for aerial unit, but stood down some ground based appliances.

FIO will turn out to any fire if requested, if cause can't be determined. Just 'coz FIO is there, doesn't mean arson is suspected.

From what i could see from the aeial footage on Ten news CLP1 did turn out but was not in use as it was parked on the other side of the street on which the shopping centre was located.

What was the reason it took so long for the CLP to get to Wembley. Its not that far from Perth. like 8km away. did any of the Perth HPs to link up with the CLP monitor.
