Roger that - well Antt said he said a Pump and Light Tanker putting out the middle section of grass/shrub in between Roe hwy - but thats what i was told...

I can confirm this as i drove through there on my way home from work and it was just getting started....reported it to FESA...they had already turned out.

When I went past on the train about 4 it was all over and done with.only small.One thing is for sure is that about 100 meters towards Armadale from there and it would have been right nasty.It was not far from the Kenwick fire earlier this year that was fearce.

You'll find theres alot of Airforce land around Bullsbrook and surrounds (separate from the base) which they are responsible for..

What do you want? ,,a MONITOR,,or did you mean Monsters,,,meaning those fire tenders, ive got some pictures on Webshots of 2 monsters at Oshkosh.

Transfield have an agreement to let there firies assist in surrounding areas but the condition is that if they have any flying they must be stand bye at the base and wont release them. This happened two weeks ago when bullsbrook were called to a scrubby and asked for transfield to attend. Due to air ops were unable to respond

The 3rd alarm srub fire is at the Warwick open space and did jump the island on Warwick road. It is possible to say that the house fire is a direct result of the scrub fire. I do have pictures if I work out how to post them up I will later.

ADMIN EDIT: Donga has posted his pics here. Thanks!
