May only need more LT's, 2.4/3.4's etc, but not another pump. Happens all the time in CFRS world.

No, VFS but almost all our calls are Bush fires.

If the aviation firefighters at Perth Airport attend a fire off the airport do they send a bill to someone ?

yes, just like the frs does.

3 Dromader aircraft flew over craigie heading north at 4.05pm

Never heard of the FRS charging for attendance at fires. They provide a community service, funded by the tax payers.

I would suggest that the ARRF would do the same, being funded by the Commonwealth Govt.

I know noone that has ever been charged for house fires, bushfires etc.

Not sure where you got that info from????

This. Also if the fire is on Perth Airport land remember they own a large chunk that includes surrounding businesses), its partially their responsibility (although with this fire I'm not sure of its location).

Are the airport tenders FESA operated or Perth Airport operated?

I am led to beleive the Airport Fire Tenders are run through the Government - Air Services Australia.

G

pretty sure they're FESA....

i know Transfield do Military Airports
