Yep, any fire fighter in the shire of Mundaring with a pager will have received a page (or 2) telling them it is extreme, which means no venturing too far from the shire.
Sam there was the incident where we met up and managed to score little Caesers and you'd been saying that that was the 3rd incident that day. Were all of them out of your area?

I love it when there's a bit of humour thrown in. Sam, at the rate things are going we may yet land up helping fastlane and his team up there.

Just got home from work, been out in the sun all day today, it was 30 degrees at 5:45am when I got to work. We started at 6am to try and beat the heat, didn't really work...Been away from the radio all day and it seems like its been chaos today. Just been listing to 6IP and they seem to be doing really well considering all the jobs on. Our 3.4 went to the Kings park incident today, got turned out at 7:30.

Sorry, I can't remember that far back, I only remember the important things, the Food!!
