Rangers in the country are usually Bush Fire Control officers so thats why they have the red and blue lights, ull see that if u see the Shire of Busselton or Shire of Augusta/Margeret River Rangers. We dont tend to go p2 for wandering dog complaints
This morning I was passed by a white Town of Kwinana 4WD, I think it was a Ford Ranger, with Red and Blue lightbar (similar to the WAPOL GD's bar) and the red/yellow 'FIRE" stripe on the rear. I am assuming this would be the FCO vehicle. Unfortunately no time to get a pic.
do you mean this?
this is the senior rangers vehicle who is also an fco.
Very similar yes...not sure if it's the same vehicle, i dont recall it having the grey coloured wheel flares, but if it is the same vehicle it is now fitted with reds and blues as it was the lightbar that first caught my attention.
The community fire officers vehicle is typically one of the fesa marked pathfinders with small r&b demountable lightbars. they will all have the fesa logo (as the officers are serving FRS members) on the door with some (rocky, kwinana) having their LG logos also on the door, although they are only very small.
nope, they're incredibly bright and do the job required! Have seen a couple of the vehicles just outside the office with them on. They have a built in flash pattern so you can't get hypnotised either when driving past.
