Any info on the fire rockingham way? Location, alarm clasification ect....
Seemed both fires today cannington and rockingham way were both contained fairly quickly. Well done to all crews in such heat today to get on top of things very quickly!!
Fire west of Denmark today. Now under control. Observed William Bay 2.4 en-route to it. Two water bombers from Albany were used. Channels known to be used were 8 (midband) for water bombers and 173 (WAERN).

Two Cars - completley demolished Traffic Light at Tonkin Hwy and Armadale Rd.

hmm mazda, thats odd, as yeah it was Armadale 2nd (yay) HRS and LT and Madington MP and LT. so which one of these looks like a mazda, as yeah a mazda has a rear pump, and both of these trucks have side pumps. hmmmmm
Yeah sorry, it's the best I could do as I was driving and it was dark - and the lights at that intersection were flashing amber, so had to traverse carefully... But it didn't look like your conventional new Medium Pumps or HSR's.
