The Wattle Grove fire is burning very near the house my family almost bought about 8 years ago.
Thank God we didn't!

Re: Significant bush/scrub fires 2008/2009
Slightly overprotective Deputy and Chief FCOs in Armadale IMHO, especially involving anything within the Roleystone ward. One can understand there stance on the situation though.wasaint wrote: Yes Bedfordale did but Roleystone FRS LT got called they still Have 2x2.4s plus a and LT as well sitting there doing nothing whislt half of the local area asks for more trucks Beats me!!!!

Re: General fire discussions
Did anyone hear DM Newburn (I'm pretty sure it was) acting as Wungong control monday morning get his weather report from 6AR?
6AR: Wungong control i have a weather report for you, i am assuming you have a fax down there for me to fax it to you.
Wungong Control: stand-by 6AR i just check my glov-box... Sorry no fax machine there 6AR!]

Re: General fire discussions
Not sure if anyone else other than Turbo and I were crazy enough to be up to here it. But last night there was a 1st Alarm Hazmat which was attended to by Butler, Wanneroo-Joondalup SES, Alinta Gas an Western Power. Caused by a Car vs. House.

not hazmat FIRE
In a FIRE rocky 1st,2nd and hope valley will require a water source somehow, so im assuming our 9.2 and 4.4 will be asked to assist and possibly kwinana sth4.4 and other high quantity water carriers in the area IF NEEDED
we have nothing for a spill
hope this clears a little bit up for you guys, if someone knows more please correct if im wrong
cheers
