Transfield have an agreement to let there firies assist in surrounding areas but the condition is that if they have any flying they must be stand bye at the base and wont release them. This happened two weeks ago when bullsbrook were called to a scrubby and asked for transfield to attend.

The 3rd alarm srub fire is at the Warwick open space and did jump the island on Warwick road. It is possible to say that the house fire is a direct result of the scrub fire. I do have pictures if I work out how to post them up I will later.vk6hgr wrote:Very busy right now.
