Ellenbrook has a new 3.4U parked in their station, not sure if it's there permanently or if they're just training on it.best job wrote:Confirmed Maddington has a new 3.4 for summer. Hope Valley's should be ready soon, they're doing quals this week.
My understanding is Ellenbrook will man a 2nd LT for awhile yet.
From what I've heard, it is a regional asset and will be moved around the state depending on the time of year and operational requirements.Helitak_670 wrote:I saw Ellenbrooks 3.4u today. Interesting to see it has DFES 3.4U on the side of it.
This is true. At the end of the South Wests fire season they will be going up to the Midwest & Kimberely for their season.reubylou wrote:From what I've heard, it is a regional asset and will be moved around the state depending on the time of year and operational requirements.
The vehicle itself is a regional asset, not Ellenbrook. I assume DFES will allocate it to a location based on a risk assessment. Obviously Ellenbrook has no need for a 3.4 during the winter months, so it would be sent elsewhere during this time.xr8edute wrote:So its a regional asset.....based at ellenbrook?
Is ellenbrook considered regional now is it?
Like, the Kimberely and Midwest..reubylou wrote:The vehicle itself is a regional asset, not Ellenbrook. I assume DFES will allocate it to a location based on a risk assessment. Obviously Ellenbrook has no need for a 3.4 during the winter months, so it would be sent elsewhere during this time.

very much agreed with the both of you. Also other agencies with vast amount of resources that aren't very well utilised in the area and around the state for that matter...philby wrote:your not the only brigade in the area not being utilised Kel.
