to be clear - 2 3rd alarm incidents happening here.

The Redhill incident off Toodyay road looks like flaring up again. I've just finished from being on duty at the Incident Control point with SJA-VFAS and according to the crews terrain is a nightmare and strong winds were developing at approx 0100. One fire flank broke containment lines and is still a running fire.... Was great to meet Bassendean 2nd, Gosnells 7.2, Swan ICV and others.. Photos up soon. Time for sleep me thinks.... G
