Also there's been a Chemical spill of drums fell off a truck, fireies dealt with one and re stood up the other 7 on back of truck, down near mandurah, sorry missed the Fesa unit in attendance.

Jasonjag,

Toottoot was not arguing who went to the call. He was simply correcting your spelling as you have been spelling murdoch station wrong in a few posts, as well as spelling Pheonix rd wrong ( not even a station ).

Is it that important?
Many members on this site bitch about wasting bandwidth but these posts that correct spelling errors etc, not only make me feel like im back in a classroom but arnt even crucial to the post.
Whether he spells murdoch with a k or ch doesnt matter a in the long run as long as we understand the gist of whats going on. I dont think we have a murdock in perth so its a safe assumption he means murdoch.

No FESA units down that way. Most likely it was a Fire and Rescue (FRS) brigade.

Fire and Rescue comes under the umbrella if FESA , however is in itself a seperate identity. Under the FESA umbrella is
- bush fire brigades managed by local governments
- career Fire and Rescue Service stations
- volunteer Fire and Rescue Service brigades
- State Emergency Service units
- Volunteer Marine Rescue Service groups
- Volunteer Emergency Service units - use to be called a FESA unit which consisted of a dual registered brigade involving frs,bfb and ses. mainly in country towns where the population was not great enough for the 3 services so members would be involved in all 3 under the one brigades registration - Currently only 15 registered throughout the state eg Halls creek and fitzroy crossing.

They all have there own budget and management

Funny you make that quote, yet your signature reads "Singleton Bush Fire Brigade", not "Singelton FESA". Just like the SES and Bush Fire brigades are called the SES and Bush Fire Brigade, FRS are the FRS, not FESA.

Not being picky but people need to understand that they are all seperate sevices with there own seperate identities and all perform different roles.

I did not

Not being technical, more just asking for an answer. Sorry if it was taken as a stab at the original post, i just wanted clarification as to whether things had changed or i miss interpreted something. only new guys, dont bash me please.

so, can someone please clarify if this thinking is correct; FESA is merely a government name that oversees the operations of smaller agency's such as BFS, FRS. SES etc., like say the department of education that oversees govt. schools etc??

FESA is the Fire and Emergency Services Authority which is responsible for.....well.....have a look at their website.

To quote it "As you can see, FESA’s responsibilities are wide ranging. To find out more please search the FESA website"

Jonesy, yes you are correct FESA does encompass all of these things that you mentioned.

So when you refer to a FESA unit, is it a Bush Fire Brigade, SES, FRS or even life savers? All play different roles and have different responsibilityes. So which one would attend a chemical spill, which one would attend a drowning at the beach, which one would attend storm damage?

What you do not understand that each identity would like to be refered by it own identity, not the generic FESA. Ask any SES, Bush Fire or FRS (staff and vols) what they are called and NONE of them will answer FESA. By calling any of these entities FESA is provoking the people who put a lot of time and effort into each of these entities.
