Possibly as it is apparently raining up there now and they have cancelled the request for support crews that we received earlier today.
Re: General fire discussions
Just read on the other bushfire forum http://bushfirefighting.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=537 of a third alarm out Wanneroo way, any ideas how big it is? sounds like its contained but there are a few vehicles heading up so I imagine they are worried about an escape during the day.

Re: General fire discussions
Why did Spearwood Control advise 6AR that they didn't need Air Intel (Which, I think I heard, was turned out due to the fire being in a flight path), but then request Helitacs?
Wouldn't having Air Intel there to request Air Support be a more sure-fire way of getting air support?
