major fires
thanks for that ,guess that means i won't be getting called in then
That was Bassendean 2nd. Normally there would be many more BFS brigades there. Whiteman have there own fire defence and Malaga and West Swan also get turned out. If more resources are needed most of the BFS brigades from the swan shire get sent. FRS was being sent to protect the village. As others have said many more BFS would normally have gone but were at the other fire.JG-103 wrote: bassendean only now turning out to the whiteman park fire
amazing, long was from Beechboro Road to Lord street, although I am not sure how close to Beechboro Rd it started. I can remember attending a fire there must be five years ago now in February but it burnt the other way. Started at Lord street and this strong easterly pushed it nearly to alexander drive, burnt all around the communications centre there you can see from gnangara rd. was a big day that daydoogues71 wrote:Their worried it's about to jump Lord St and are about to call in more units

I'm not sure where it started either, but the control point is near Beechboro rd so perhaps it started closer to Lord St?firefly.000 wrote:amazing, long was from Beechboro Road to Lord street, although I am not sure how close to Beechboro Rd it started.

I've seen photos of the fire around the comms installation that you mentioned - looked horrendous!
