Melg,

you heard correct. MPHR is Medium Pump Heavy rescue. This appliance has more powerful/better cutting and more rescue gear than standard rescue gear on pumps.

Yep you'd have heard correctly. MPHR - Medium Pump Heavy Rescue. Same as a normal pump except the rescue gear is heavier duty, bigger cuts in one go etc.
edit: haha bomber must have beaten me by mere seconds.

Major MVA with persons trapped. Unsure of exact location - however Toodyay are talking through to Rescue 65, Welshpool 2nd 6-8mins away and a few other appliances. Transmitting on Channel 24 for this incident.

There were 2 fires today around the midland/stratton area, does anyone know anything. It was very interesting to see the 1st one start and then the 2nd one start up to.
