Was upgraded at 20:18 to a fourth alarm then downgraded again at 20:25 to a third alarm, standing down Wundowie. Chaplain advised. Media Liaison advised of a "confirmed 3rd alarm rescue, 38 trapped, school bus. Toodyay Rd Gidgegannup x The Springs Road"

If there is a low cloud ceiling or fog on the ground Rescue 65 will not be able to land at any incident.

Re: 3rd alarm rescue
Completly understand helimedic - I work in aviation (rotor).
Was just expressing my dismay at how serious the situation was sounding.
The medics/pilots of rescue 65 do an amazing job to which many west australians owe their lives.
