why else would polair be out there??
because theres no way that polair could possibley be looking for the person that lit the fire.
Im pritty sure they know where the most heat is coming from , just look for the biggest flame , and i thought the point of fire fighting was to prevent more bush from burning and then put out the rest not the other way round.

serious?

i dont think they must've bought it in though becuase otherwise i wouldve been able to pick up a repeater channel that close.especially when i was at family lunch 400ms away.

cheers fastlane,is that a spare channel or something?

Last I heard, on the sunday.

one of the DM's was requesting that the SES bring down there repeater because Comm's on channel 36 were shocking.

Not actually SES's repeater...all our repeaters are UHF. It'll be an FRS/BFS repeater thats been given to the SES to setup cause that's part of one of the SES courses.
