hello
does anyone know where,publicly there is any information on the fesa budget for 2008 and which briagdes are receiving new appliances in the coming year?

thanks

chris

The WA state government budget is available at http://www.dtf.wa.gov.au. The 2008/2009 budget is not there yet - they usually (from memory) do their budgets for the next financial year each May. The budgets only give details on FRS station upgrades/construction, numbers of appliances (but not where) and other FESA activity like CBR readiness, new FESA offices etc.

Your local council is the spender of ESL money. To find out what your Shire/Town/City is doing with your BFS you need to check with their budgets. eg Kwinana Town Council details are at http://www.kwinana.wa.gov.au/services/Finance/index.asp

thanks alot wes!

there is also a link on the fesa website under ESl and then click on the ESL Grants and it has the amount each shirre/council has recieved

Also note it is up to your shire to apply for such things (new appliances, upgrades etc)..

yeah the new 9.2 is a bfb vehicle, but yeah it would be good to have one painted red, we had oakford 9.2 at a house fire, it pumps at idle 8 bar, and yeah looks pretty flash, but yeah would look better in red then white, lol

Hey Buddah dont care what colour it is along as it carries a load of water and is practical to use IE pumps well and carries the right gear and as for being red the perms had a skid mounted tanker for years but sold as there is not enough call in the metro area to justafy manning and maintaing one not when they can call on local shire units
