Western Australian Fire Behaviour Calculator
As part of the release of the new Australian Fire Danger Rating System, a new Fire Behaviour Calculator has been developed by DFES, Landgate, CSIRO, and Bureau of Meteorology.
The calculator is freely available at http://aurora.landgate.wa.gov.au/fbc and produces detailed weather and fire danger forecasts.
An example of forecast report is attached.
Also attached is a briefing for the system.
All members of the operations team are encouraged to have a play with the system and develop some familiarity with it ahead of the coming fire season.

Station Open Day – Saturday, 1/10/2022
The open days are a good opportunity to connect with our community and showcase the station and what we do. This year’s open day will be held on 1/10/2022 (refer attached flyer) and to ensure the success of this event, members are asked to assist with the various activities which include demonstrations, kids activities and food prep. If you are able to assist can you please contact Adrian or Vicki as soon as possible.
Brigade Lunch – Parkerville Tavern
For the last few years, this event has been successfully held at the Parky from midday onwards and is open to all members and their families. Our calendar is quickly filling up with various events, however two Saturdays in October – 15th and 22nd – are possibilities.
Many thanks to those members who have advised their preferences, it’s still not too late so can members please let Vicki know preferred dates as soon as possible.
Walk – Station to the Mountie
Maybe not quite on the grand scale of a ‘City to Surf’ but promising to be as much fun, this 4 km walk for members and their families will commence at the Station on a Saturday (or Sunday) and end up with lunch at the Mountie…just need a date and an indication of numbers.
To date have had a favourable response from members and their families. For further information and date suggestions, please contact either Vicki or Dave Wh.
Found – Earring Stud
A sterling silver diamanté earring stud was found in the Station kitchen over the weekend. If this belongs to you or a family member, please contact Vicki.
