Sorry but Midland and Bassendean just turned out to a fire in Palmer Barracks (Sth Guildford), passing police car setting up in case smoke becomes a major problem. Midland called in for 2 helitacs, as it is threatening houses.

And multiple flare-ups @ the Spectacles. Helitacs and fixed-wing aircraft requested. Motorbike and tracks seen in the area. :?

Some of our members will be happy - Mandogolup BFS has been requested.

Sounds like the S*** as hit the fan, the helitacks will take to long (20min) to get there. Asked for fixed wings if they are quicker. Multiple spot fires, and motorbike tracks around fire ground and seen leaving fire.

I say give all Fire and other authorities the power to shoot to kill the offenders, the mongrels, they think its a big joke,,,until they get trapped in a wall of fire, do not bother asking questions after either.
sorry,but i do not believe the fire men/women and other services deserve this treatment from brainless fools.

The Spectacles fire has crossed the Kwinana freeway. The DM has asked for more resources.

PTA will not shut the rail line down but are now not stopping at Kwinana station.
