WA Radio Scanner Users' Group

BBQ hey! I see you like your meat cooked well!

there,s a 2nd alarm out west swans area,they have called for heavey tankers from waneroo plus a couple of lt, a 2.4 from east swan i think plus,lt from dec because its in their area,must be somewhere between ellenbrook speedway and waneroo havent caught the exact rd names yet

mmm the wind is blowing the wrong way for it to be from that, we have a S/W here so maybe there is something else about, maybe smoke from down south blowing up.

If the DEC fire is anything decent then I think DEC Wanneroo would be using channel 18 for some of the chitter chatter, so if you have a scanner going at the moment you might be able to listen, not sure what the frequency is for it though and I dont think the trucks have changed over to the new radios yet.

was at kids party down at willeton this morning and when we left at 12.00 ,the whole area was covered in a strong smell of smoke and haze looked to be more smokey from the south be could see no smoke plume of any note. cfm from mundaring just confirmed 15-20 hec of pine and scrub to be on fire at trainor rd,80 % of fire said to be contained by the way of an earthbreak being bulldozed around fire i think this is the fire out west swans area. 2.56pm quinns rock lt and waneroo lt have been released from trainor? rd fire and are heading to another fire

DEC had a fire and some burns down south so the smoke around the merto area (south of waneroo) must have been blown up from those fire then.

I just put this in to the major thread due to the amount of brigades that are being called.

plus I hadnt looked in this thread yet.

I didn't hear Armadale, so I guess its a 3rd alarm.
