yes, but you never know where you'll end up next, hence why these stations have 2 appliances to cover all eventualities

Port Kennedy is ESL 1 therefore when possible a career pump will be first turn out for all calls hence Hope Valley being mobilised when Rockingham 1st are busy.

Kwinana Vols are a lot closer to Mardella than Rockingham 2nd. Just because they are called Rockingham 2nd dosn't mean they have to back up 1st to everthing

Turnouts are decided by who is listed on the pop-up for that area. The VFRS Brigades should have discussed their turnouts with their Area Managers and if there's a turnout problem, submitted a MARS report. This is not the forum for discussing how and why they are, or are not, turned out. It is a Brigade-FESA issue and this is a scanner discussion forum. :D
