Offtopic-ish but ...

Interesting sight yesterday on the way back to my accommodation from the Grand Prix... Stood at a tram stop at the corner of Swanston and Collins Streets in Melbourne, when two fire applicances came howling down the tram lines on Collins street, lights and sirens going berserk. A third fire appliance came along Swanston. Not sure what they were attending, but they were in a heck of a hurry!

Tram lines appear to be convenient "emergency service lanes" when required

Cheers,

hope valley attending another scrub fire off the bike track in bertram.

when I was listening they said it wasnt on army land (bombing range), was in private pasture and they couldn't see any appliances ?
