My guess luke is that they were up there for a fire call. Its not uncommon for fringe career stations to go some distance out of there area. eg. rockingham will turn out to t/a , house fire in serpintine. Thats way out of there area.

Yeah midland generally turns out to all Mundaring calls, as we're all vollies, so they can generally get going a bit quicker, and on occasion, stand us down if it's a 44 or small 66.

I think that just applies to certain areas. Generally if theres a fire in our district we get turned out on our own unless its a report of structural in which case its Midland, Mundaring and ourselves (Glen Forrest)

cant believe no one has mentioned the Midland Military Markets fire. Was a big working job, unfortunately not much saved.

Turbo was that you in the black and red jumper?

'Fifty firefighters operating six pumps and two aerial water cannons contained the blaze at about 6.30am today, but not before it caused damage estimated at several million dollars.'

A very sad way to begin Anzac day!

Went to my brother's for lunch and drove past the markets to get there. I knew nothing about it until I got alongside and noticed all the twisted metal and smoke.

I'm sure it'll get good coverage on tonight's news.
