Helitac 668 has departed Perth airport for Lancelin, I take it that's where the strike team are headed.

May be the Scrub fire I posted last night - Maylands/Burswood - where the Golf Course and Police Complex is - I wasn't awake long enough to hear how Perth 3rd and Duncraig went with that incident.
