A good to see Guildford is being used, they're descent mob their lot, just have a Light Pump and Light Tanker, but all nice enough guys! Pity they didn't have more people in the brigade.

As useful as a light pump at a bush fire

Yeh Chris - Called it 8-8.

Wasn't a large fire, but due to the fact it was burning on the opposite side of the swamp, Called it 8-8 for the resourses and getting it brought under control before them embers caught something on the otherside...

Baldivis LT1, LT2, 4.4R, 1.4R, 9.2, Singleton LT2, LT3, 2.4R, Rocky Chief and Rocky Deputy.

jandakot are chompin at the bit to be called they told 6ar they have drivers at the station fo ther 7.2 and 9.2 and ther light tankers doin patrols in ther area for ash,must be right near ther boundray,i think oakford 9.2 mustve been called.

if its run like the spectacles was the first day dont expect them to stop it anytime in the next few hours.
