Urban Search and Rescue.
Basically looking mainly at structural incidents. A car vs house is the most simple and common, right through to dealing with what happened on the 11th of September in 2001, when teams were sent in to stabalise what was left of the buildings and remove surface casualties. It then looks at marking of locations of known/suspected casualties and for WA in career Fire and Rescue, it will include the extrication of sub surface casualties using a variety of tools from goose neck camera's to concrete circular saws.

Thanks Tyranus

if you look on the door you will find a logo with regards to the relative service. the patrol looks like VMR and the cruiser looks like a SES or FRS. as previously mentioned, most probably used to ferry around goods and also possible comms/tech support.

treeny if you looked at previous posts you'll have noticed that they have already been identified.
The first truck is a Urban Search and Rescue truck, usually based at Perth Fire Station.
The second vehicle, the Patrol, is a communications tech's vehicle. The logo is a general FESA logo, not VMRS. They are quite different. The test above the logo is "Fire and Emergency Services" and below is "Western Australia". You can see the black swan in the middle of the logo which the VMRS logo does not use as it has a stylised wave and boat.
The third vehicle, the Landcruiser, is a mechanical/technician's vehicle and also has the general FESA badge.

You can check out the badges by logging in to the FESA volunteers portal.
