ok no worries, I heard icv being stood down, didn't know about welshpool, although apparently a big red truck had a bit of difficulty going forwards. The air brakes didn't release, maybe that's why it was welshpool 2nd coming.

Heads up guys - DEC are planing to burn parts of Scientific Park (Location of the Fire at Port Kennedy) tomorrow so expect smoke and flames and a bit of radio activity.

Believe that Baldivis are assisting with crews (unsure how many) but we (Singleton) are sending up an LT and maybe the 2.4 if things get interesting later.

I believe there pollution response, they also have a holden rodeo with a module on the back.

I "think" they respond to incidents to test water/air samples from contamination.

the one i saw had green reflective strips down he side off the silver rodeo anyways and an amber lightbar with response on it but had pollution control or something on the side.

According to the DPI magenta or crimson (maroon) lights are used by statutory government organisations. One example is the DEC as was mentioned above and DPI for their truck inspectors.

We're sending the fleet (almost .. ) lol

LT1, LT2, 4.4 and the ICV for control.

1.4 will stay on station as we need something in the district.
