Incidents
Chidlow / Wooroloo, 26th December
Turned out a rapidly escalating paddock / scrub fire near Government Road in Wooroloo. With one house lost early in the fire, it continued to burn towards the estate around Warrigal Way. Both appliances set up a asset defence, assisted by a 50KL water tank, and successfully saved the property.
Subsequent shifts worked hard on mopping up and patrolling the fire, with six subsequent shifts attending.
Attended by: Adam, Adrian, Ben M., Colin, Dave R., Dave Wh., Dave We., Denise, Elton, Graeme, John L., John R., Keith, Michelle, Murray, Rob, Sarah, Shane, Tracey-Lee, and Warren.
Pre-Turnout Staging, 29th December
Requested to standby ahead of a possible call-out to a shed fire in Wooroloo. Whilst both appliances did proceed to the fire, both were stood down before arriving.
Attended by: Dave R., Dave S., Denise, Elton, John R., Keith (station crew), Sarah, and Shane.
