When the pagers go off for VBFBs in the Shire of Mundaring, each brigade has an ID code. Is this the same for all volunteer brigades and what are the all the brigade codes? When the pager goes off it would be nice to know which other brigades will be joining you. If we get a list going maybe WPXZBP could add the info to the 'The one-stop shop for FESA information' thread.

I'll kick off with the ones i know;
Darlington = A83
Glen Forrest = A84

OK, as this is near the top, I'll update with what others put below...

Note - headings are rough descriptors only, with no basis in anything other than geographic location.

HILLS (Mdg, Kala, Arm)
A52 -Gosnells
A62 - Kalamunda BFS
A81 = Mundaring CBFCO and DCBFCO
A82 = Chidlow
A83 = Darlington
A84 = Glen Forrest
A85 = Mt Helena
A87 = Parkerville
A88 = Sawyers Valley
A89 = Stoneville
A92 = Wooroloo
A93 = Darling Range (ICV)

SOUTH METRO COASTAL
B00 - City of Rockingham
B01 - Rockingham ICV
B02 - Baldivis
B03 - Singleton

B19 - Oakford

A23 = Jandakot
A22 = South Coogee

SWAN
B33 - East Gidge
B34 - East Swan
B36 - West Gidge
B37 - West Swan

NORTH METRO COASTAL
B45 Two Rocks
B43 Wanneroo
B42 Quinns Rocks

AVON (Northam,Toodyay, York)
S32 - Bakers Hill
S33 - Clackline
S34 - Muresk?

S33 Clackline.

B45 TWO ROCKS VBFB

Have done some research and found the brigade codes for the Shire of Mundaring, as follows;

A81 = Mundaring CBFCO and DCBFCO
A82 = Chidlow
A83 = Darlington
A84 = Glen Forrest
A85 = Mt Helena
A87 = Parkerville
A88 = Sawyers Valley
A89 = Stoneville
A92 = Wooroloo
A93 = Darling Range (ICV)

And i believe that the Mundaring VFRS are paged as... Mundaring VFRS!

A23 = Jandakot BFB
A22 = South Coogee BFB

there all the ones I know

A52 = Gosnells BFB
A53 = Gosnells BFB ICV (SOG) <- Need to confirm if this is still in use...

Yep, all brigades are paged as name. You will find all the Brigade numbers on the frsvols.asn.au site that Wes administers. That number isn't really used for much though. eg Mundaring is Stn 182. Career FRS stations also have one of these Brigade numbers.

The brigade numbers that are paged for BFS I believe are the actual brigade number, and the letter is from the old days of the Bush Fire Brigades Board WA (BFBBWA). You will notice a pattern to do with the region.

I dont think Muresk has a seperate Page any more because it comes under Clackline/Muresk BFB this includes Spencers Brook also.

I've added a couple and combined all of the information posted so far, into the 2nd post in the thread. If others post more I'll compile in that post.

B43 is not Yanchep but is Wanneroo. Suprised fastlane did not pick up on this

I was wondering about that one. Updated

my bad lol

According to my list (thanks to kylep) i still don't have the codes for the following brigades:

Bedfordale
Byford
Jarrahdale
Keysbrook
Mundijong
Roleystone
Rottnest
Serpentine
Swan Comms (ICV)
Wanneroo Fire Support

Any help would be appreciated

With Rottnest are they VFRS, if so, how do I go about joining? Sounds like this may be the ideal place!
