I heard Mandogalup attend a fire around Magenup Rd Wandi this arvo at around 4pm.
The arrival code was along the lines of "66 make 3rd alarm"
The crew leader also asked for helitacs but for some reason they were un available.
They sent out Hope Valley (Or Kwinobyl as Ive heard them called)
Success, canningvale (I think), Kwinnana south and Jandakot. I may have missed some names here, not sure.
Mandogalup had their light tankers going as well as thier ICV.
I suspect due to the strong winds this arvo this is what caused it to go 3rd alarm so quick. The winds seemed to die down around 5pm which would have helped them contain it.
I just heard Jandakot 9.2 stand down at 2130 from the Wadi fire.
Theyll be there for a while longer I think mopping up
Cheers

anywho the start of the fire was a bloke burning off small piles of leaves who had a pump and all that set up but no permit which is a no no

3rd Alarm Scrub Fire in Wandi
Thanks for that background info on the fire chriss.
I dont know if I mentioned it at the start but Im a volly with Jandakot brigade
It just goes to show though the advantages of doing prescribed burning in relation to the fire starting next door to an already burned block.
When we had the big one through Wandi a few years ago there were instances of propertys saved because they or the neighbours block had been burnt off prior.
Sounds like you all did a great job anyway.

3rd Alarm Scrub Fire in Wandi
Oh dear,
Here in lays the reason that one gets a permit for burning off.
This fellas gonna wonder if it was really worth burning off a few small piles of rubbish for all the trouble hes gotten into
I almost offered my services at the fire, but I thought, if they need me theyll call me
