Dawesville is opening 1st May, with Split Vol/Paid crews much the same as Mandurah was.

[Fire Chief]

Ive been told Byford paid/vollie

[AcesAP]

Definitely not a station in Byford. Serpentine will become a fully career and metro station from this Sunday. Dawesville should be up and running shortly with a split career/volunteer crew in the days and volunteers at night.

Ellenbrook will also start this Sunday, with a "day" ambulance.

Ellenbrook will also start this Sunday, with a "day" ambulance.

Where abouts will the location be for Ellenbrook ?

In Ellenbrook, new depot not built yet.

Ellenbrook Day Van currently operating out of Landsdale until the new depot is ready.

When did Mandurah stop using vollies?

[Infernal]

Late 2010

[dazla]

I'm not surprised, I was there for 12 months and it was a very busy station for vollies.

How far is the Dawsville Station from Mandurah, at least its an option for the vollies formally at Mandurah.

[Infernal]

Dawsville kicked off over the weekend, some info

2 Paramedics to run 4 day shifts back to back

Day shift will consist of 1 Paramedic and 1 Volunteer

Night shift will consist of 2 Volunteers

[SJANT]

4 days shifts only for a para. That's not bad. No night shifts at all.

Tempory Depot???? Like Wanneroo was tempory for about 15 years

[SJANT]

I'd be very happy if that was my temporary depot. New building, lots of garage space. Better than a few of the depots I've seen in my time.
