It's at GE Hwy Bypass. WAPol requested by Bassendean who need an extra light tanker.
Belmont, Guildford LT & Malaga's 2.4 en route to back up Bassendean.

Palm Terrace Control requesting another 2.4 and 3 light tankers. Channel 96.

Helitac 670 requesting collar tank at Hartfield Park.

Kalamunda VFRS on site at Falls Road, another pump and LT requested for asset protection.

Edit - Gosnells has been paged to assist at Palm Terrace incident. 2 x LT, 2.4, 7.2 and collar tank.

I just watched Midland Pump and LT go flying past on Morrison road heading towards Guildford. Hmmm and I don't think Midland would be using Morrison road to try and get to the bypass...unless they're going one of the back ways through bushmead road to try and avoid as much traffic as possible.

Rather large sounding fire behind Guildford Cemetery.

The Falls fire is going rather well, Houses look to be under threat. The Great Eastern Hwy Bypass fire appears to be under control. Helitac 668 departed Perth Airport not to long ago to assist in the Falls fire.

First time I've tuned in to the online FESA stream for ages, and it looks like everything around me just happens to be burning too!

I'm in High Wycombe, have not been outside yet cause it's too bloody hot, but am going to head out shortly and see if I can spot the smoke from the two fires (Gt eastern hwy bypass and Palm Tce, Forrestfield). Both are within a few km of me. I can hear the helitaks flying over me.

One of the crews just requested level 2 refreshments for 30 persons

If anyone is interested, this is what the Palm place (Forrestfield) fire looks like from my back yard. Not very exciting

Warning - the images are hosted on my DSL connection and are about 2.4mb each, so be patient when waiting for them to load

For information of anyone not familiar with the area, Palm Terrace is in Forrestfield, near Lesmurdie Falls National Park, according to trusty Google Maps.
