There is a strike team assembling at Butler. Perth 2nd and 3 LT, Basso, Kwinana all under fire call conditions to Butler FS.

Also Guilford, Rockingham 2nd with 3rd LT, Armadale 2nd with 3rd LT, Welshpool pump and LT ( not sure which of the pumps went ).

Helitac 668 has departed Perth airport for Lancelin, I take it that's where the strike team are headed.

May be the Scrub fire I posted last night - Maylands/Burswood - where the Golf Course and Police Complex is - I wasn't awake long enough to hear how Perth 3rd and Duncraig went with that incident.
