Pics from the 2009 State Open at Merredin

[WPXZBP]

HSR-25, Merredin VFRS' new Hazmat, Structural, Rescue appliance.
(Yet to be handed over.)


Two Midlands Region manager's vehicles. (I'm pretty sure the second one is used by the Central Wheatbelt Area Manager. If correct, that would mean the first one is used by the Midlands Region District Manager.)



More pics to come.

Is that the FRS Red bus behind?

no its a school bus, it was used to transport all the association members, they usualy have the PC tho.

the first one is a CFM, as i saw him walking around, and also there is a FESA BFB badge on his door,

i cant remember there names tho, but yeah there was there;
DM Avon
CFM???
RD Goldfields
Craig Hines, Chief Operations Officer Metropolitan Fire Operations Services

CFM Swan was at a fire in Upper Swan on Sunday.

It's a FESA Fire Services emblem, not 'BFB'. Just 'coz this is on the door, doesn't mean its a Community Fire Manager. (remember, CFM's are the conduit between Local Govt Brigades and FESA.. I'm not sure you have Local Govt Brigades competing in the State Open, do you?)

[WPXZBP]

It's the Midlands District, not Midland. Midlands includes Avon, Central Wheatbelt and Mortlock.
Unless things have changed in the past 3 years then it was AM Central Wheatbelt and DM Midlands who were present plus the FESA COO.

The State Open is for WA VFRS Association affiliated Brigades and, on rare occasions (if at all) Victorian Brigades.

The bus had Merredin plates. That would be the new one that one of the Merredin VFRS officers told me they had recently purchased.
