Paging services are transmitted by radio, however, like mobile phone calls they are not solely carried on radio services so would come under the definition of a 'Telecommunications Service' under the Telecommunications (Interception and
Access) Act 1979. It is illegal to intercept a Telecommunications Service where you are not the intended recipient.
Anyway, wrong thread for this..

Metro 2.4s are only based at Joondalup, Canningvale and Malaga.
Im under the impression that malaga and joondalup must be attending other incidents, more than likely at carabooda.

Wouldnt it be easier just to get a pump and tanker there from another station? or one that has a 2nd pump/tanker?

Yeah it would be faster but the 2.4 carries more water than a Lt and is also 4wd so hasnt got the access problems that a pump would have.

Hi all,

Most southside FRS units plus Claremont and I think Perth were attending fires in Canningvale/Thornlie. If I heard correctly Freo 1st were released from Pt Kennedy and were instructed to attend a 4th alarm fire in Canningvale.

2 fires at Muchea. Once again. Most likely cause is arson. 1 under control, the other still going.
