SAMFS / Bush fire response
« on: November 24, 2008, 08:23:18 PM »
Hi from West Australia Fire & Rescue 
Just a question: When we have large bush fires say 3rd alarm and higher we send many inner metro stations that include one pump and one tanker 20-40 kms to the outer metro area to build up resources. Obviously the consequence of this is very poor coverage in those metro areas. We do the same for "fire watch" where our crews watch the fire over the night shift. Does the SA Fire Brigade do the same?
Thanks
