Any idea where they are located (I would like to take a look). Thanks

Yep Darlington Oval on Pine Terrace
and I'm guessing for Roleystone it's at Cross Park on Jarrah Road.

Close, but you need to head up the road a little further. They've been nice to the crews and located both right near fire stations so they have some recline facilities.

I noticed in one of Tyranus's pics http://warsug.info/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=7990 that Darlington Support was donated by Hamerlsy Iron. Was it an ex mine vehicle?

Yes, and it came complete with red dust.

how long did it take to get all the red dust off? and was it in good condition?

I went and had a look (took the 4 kids) and got some good pics.
Got to go inside and have a look and talk to the pilot.
Very nice man and very helpful.

Two Helitacs just flew over my house leaving from the airport?

I think they're 668 and 669

Does any one know if they are heading to the Dandaragan fire or is it another one?

treeny · Post by **treeny** » Tue Dec 29, 2009 1:23 pm

they are heading in that general direction as there is multiple fires to the NE

TrainFreak · Post by **TrainFreak** » Tue Dec 29, 2009 1:28 pm

I i think the flowing is correct, but still not sure where 668 and 669 are heading? (think Dandaragan fire as they're were heading in the same direction/flight path as 610)

Several Fires have been report around Toodyay Area

Helitac 682 heading over
