Only 4 of those are firefighting appliances.

I think Tyranus meant a downsize in the number of bays, not appliances. Although there is talk that one of the pumps will be moved to Kensington when they get there new station.
The union is mostly against it as money could be better spent elsewhere as Perth already has a perfectly operating and purpose built fire station. Money could be spent on fixing the staff shortages or ageing fleet. The heavy pump replacement is currently of greater concern, not the mediums. All heavy pumps besides Hope Valley are a a good five years older than the oldest medium pump in the metro area.
Minimum maning at the Perth station only requires firefighters for the three pumps and the CLP. Taxis are used 99% of the time now instead of the PC as it is cheaper and more time efficient. The LRV was only being manned permanently when there was just two pumps in town to keep minimum maning and required man/woman power for any high rise procedure. The Perth ute is also not necessary with so many couriers these days.

Doubt you'd have access to the FESA Intranet GK.

The state government has opened the new Butler Fire Station six months late, but this might not much worry local firefighters who have operated from "donga"-style buildings for a decade.
The new fire station cost $7.5 million, $2.1 million more than Emergency Services Minister Joe Francis said it would cost a year ago.
