So I have heard! It also appears I missed the first part of their transmission when they said "This is a drill"! I think I need to check my aerial connections!

It's very unusual to transmit on 6AR during a drill, me thinks someone forgot to change the transmit from ch55 mid band to a simplex channel.
Using a ladder during a foam incident would be very unusual as well. I reckon more of a comms drill than a practical drill as these aren't usually carried out during the high season, especially at Maddington.
Had me worried for a minute!

In case you're wondering what all the smoke is! Have not heard a classification but it is now under control.
Abernethy x Daddow
Welshpool 1st
Belmont
Maddington 3.4
Canning vale 2.4
Edit: Just classified as a 2nd alarm. How they justify these classifications beats me!

Mandurah 1st Just called 88 for a structure fire. Missed the location.
Mandurah 2nd and Rockingham heading there. I heard a location similar to 125 airport drive..... However I can't find that address.
Requesting police and also large reserve opposite which is under threat.

They base it on the number of pumps that where/are required. Hence you had pumps from Welshpool 1st and Belmont, therefore classified a 2nd Alarm. 3.4 and 2.4 aren't considered pumps.

Fifth alarm structure fire with hazmat in Balcatta. Level 2 incident. Not sure of units attending, suspect it'll be a "send everybody!" 
They're asking for grade 3 refreshments for 70 personnel. They've also put out a request for extra BA cylinders.
