May only need more LT's, 2.4/3.4's etc, but not another pump. Happens all the time in CFRS world.

If the aviation firefighters at Perth Airport attend a fire off the airport do they send a bill to someone ?

Never heard of the FRS charging for attendance at fires. They provide a community service, funded by the tax payers.

I would suggest that the ARRF would do the same, being funded by the Commonwealth Govt.

I know noone that has ever been charged for house fires, bushfires etc.

Not sure where you got that info from???? :?:

This. Also if the fire is on Perth Airport land remember they own a large chunk that includes surrounding businesses), its partially their responsibility (although with this fire I'm not sure of its location).

Are the airport tenders FESA operated or Perth Airport operated?

I am led to beleive the Airport Fire Tenders are run through the Government - Air Services Australia.
