WA Radio Scanner Users' Group

i've heard this call sign a couple of times. Does anybody know if it has fire call capabilities, where it is based and is it only used for the hellitacs

we had them up at Toodyay last week servicing all appliances.

don't recall any lights on top though, so probobly no firecall.

The Water corp has several types of tankers that can be called for a variety of reasons i.e refilling appliances on the fire ground etc.

Recent example recently the Water Corp put a 24,000lt tanker on stanby in the recent welshpool 4th alarm structure fire because of water pressue / flow issues.

They are not certified for firecall duties as far as I know....

i'm guessing there is more than one and only used when water is sparse and not much mains water pressure available

thanks for the info all.

After the Two Rocks fire last year Water corp had a couple of these around to supply the town as we drained their water reserves putting out the fire.

The Water Corp have got a 40,000Litre Tanker aswell they had it at the Toodyay fire.

Water Corp have a few of these around the metro area, some are located in a fenced compound next to the Regional Office in Bannister Road Canning Vale.

They range from slip-ons to large truck tankers, i believe they own them but are managed by FESA.

Water Corp has a representative that comes out to big jobs to arrange stuff like this (you hear him on the radio).
