That's interesting... from what I've been hearing, apart from a comms problem where the 6AR <> 6IP link was one way only for a while all the traffic on 6AR is still on 6IP. Is there a set time when 6IP is delinked from metro for the summer fire season?chrissss wrote:they had quite a mix up with transsmissions at that fire due to distance from 6ar/6ip possibly wrong channel

The vehicle list on the website is VERY out of date.chrissss wrote:if u look at the FESA site ull see medium and heavy tanker
exactly the same they are just called 2.4s
so let me get this straight perth have like 5 pumps and 1 lighttanker
?>?
Perth has 2 pumps, one being a heavy pump, 1 light tanker and a CLP. They really have no need for light tankers in the city.
Daglish is similar. Only one of the Daglish crews has a light tanker.
During summer they sometimes have a few independent light tankers crewed to assist at scrub fires around the metro area, tho I suspect this depends if they have extra firefighters available.

Only gets delinked when busy AND they have the staff to man it. They just put some more CSO's on, so that probably will help.vk6hgr wrote:That's interesting... from what I've been hearing, apart from a comms problem where the 6AR <> 6IP link was one way only for a while all the traffic on 6AR is still on 6IP.

The one way link is usually by accident or due to a technical problem.
