Earlier tonight i had to pick up one of my kids from Forrestfield. As i was driving along Roe Hwy, just south of the Gt East Bypass, there was a very stong smell of smoke. I couldn't see a 'glow' or any activity anywhere. Does anyone know if there was a fire in that area earlier on??

A83 Fire Call Scrub fire - ## Swan view rd Greenmount. Zone 2 Response. Pse Ack #### ### ###. INC 72167 at 8.16pm. Maybe it was this, I wasn't able to attend, I was doing Vertical Rescue Training with SES at the time.

Anyone know whats happening in welshpool ? heard a request for the ICV and an aerial to be sent to that location and requesting traffic control for around the building ?

was a dust explosion and consequent fire in one of the hoppers at Milne Feeds which is the corner of leach hwy and Welshpool Roads. Three pumps and and icv were automatically mobilesed and then Perth CLP and then another pump for additional manpower.

Sorry no updates-on the welshpool job

BUT I had a fire in my street though this afternoon, someones garden was on fire then the vacant block caught alight then my rear hedge which has been dry inside for as long as i can remember and went up pretty quick.

By the time the firies showed it was pretty much out my poor hedge haha the SO came out the back and said just use the rack and wet it down then they left to go attend to the fire in the vacant lot.

The guy 4 doors down next who has a hydrant mark on his kerb actually had a pallet of bricks parked right over the hydrant outlet i saw the SO stop at his house and have a word to him about it then he started to move the bricks one by one off the pallet.

good story mark my words

Common sense should have told that guy, that the pallet shouldn't have been there. I know whenever i drive past the hydrants on the way home I make sure they're accesable etc.

What is left !!

just had 2 helitanks fly over my place in Parkwood heading south. i can smell the smoke, but can't see any smoke as such as there are clouds when looking south... any ideas where the fire is?

thanks for that, scanner is in the other room and only listen to channel 8 for WAPOL. still trying to work out what channels best to listen to for the firies.

i could smell the smoke, went outside and couldnt work out where from, then a minute later two helitanks flew over, and kinda worked out somewhere around jandakot, just from direction they were going and pretty much only place that way, close enough to have bush to burn

i dont know if they are actually there, just checked my phone to realise had missed a call out. Cant be bothered listening to the scanner so cant confirm if they are there or not.
