Nice xmas light show on the roof of Joondalup station - for anyone that has kids, take them past!
Re: General fire discussions
Ellenbrook has a new 3.4U parked in their station, not sure if it's there permanently or if they're just training on it.best job wrote:Confirmed Maddington has a new 3.4 for summer. Hope Valley's should be ready soon, they're doing quals this week.
My understanding is Ellenbrook will man a 2nd LT for awhile yet.

Re: General fire discussions
I saw Ellenbrooks 3.4u today. Interesting to see it has DFES 3.4U on the side of it.
Re: General fire discussions
From what I've heard, it is a regional asset and will be moved around the state depending on the time of year and operational requirements.Helitak_670 wrote:I saw Ellenbrooks 3.4u today. Interesting to see it has DFES 3.4U on the side of it.

This is true. At the end of the South Wests fire season they will be going up to the Midwest & Kimberely for their season.reubylou wrote:From what I've heard, it is a regional asset and will be moved around the state depending on the time of year and operational requirements.
Interesting to note that 2 are Red, and 2 White.

Re: General fire discussions
The vehicle itself is a regional asset, not Ellenbrook. I assume DFES will allocate it to a location based on a risk assessment. Obviously Ellenbrook has no need for a 3.4 during the winter months, so it would be sent elsewhere during this time.xr8edute wrote:So its a regional asset.....based at ellenbrook?

very much agreed with the both of you. Also other agencies with vast amount of resources that aren't very well utilised in the area and around the state for that matter...philby wrote:your not the only brigade in the area not being utilised Kel.

A couple of videos on Youtube of last nights fire in Morley (not mine)

Who updates the Fesa websites information?
It would be very helpful if they were a bit more timely. At Margs last year, their "emergency" information was nearly 24 hours out of date. I notice that it hasn't improved much. They should be listening to you guys instead. I do, and it is *very* helpful.

The Ic informs the media section
Air intel was up this morning and picked up a lot of hot spots. This incident will be going for a few more days yet.
