=== Zone 2 Turnouts Start 1st December ===
The enhanced turnout arrangements, known as a Zone 2 turnout, come into effect from the 1st of December. These arrangements call for any reported fire to be attended by a BFS brigade, a V/FRS station, a PaWS unit, and aerial support. This enhanced response aims to rapidly suppress and control any fires in the high-risk Zone 2 area.

It is important that the first arrival appliance take this enhanced turn-out into consideration. If the additional resources are not required, make the appropriate calls to stand-down any incoming crews and equipment.

In simple terms, Zone 2 within the Shire of Mundaring is West of Stoneville Rd / Mundaring Weir Rd.
