@@thekiwicanuck what type of siren system does WAPOL use ? Keep up the good work!

[@PerthAviation]

There is another fire in Henderson rip I got a good time laps of the smoke rip my Mac the sprinklers turned on and that happened btw how do u get to the fires so quick are u just in the right place at the right time or what

[@thekiwicanuck]

I watch for smoke, and listen for sirens and aerial firefighting aircraft. Sometimes, like the Elizabeth Quay fire, I'm just plain lucky, but usually I'm 30 to 60 minutes late and only catch the end of the action...

[@bails4830]

What is the sssbft mean? And cause that’s a kind of weirdly set up 3.4

[@thekiwicanuck]

Good question 🤔

[@bails4830]

@@thekiwicanuck yea, I do wonder, it’s also weird how it has like lay flat hose on a reel

[@scottsencounters]

how was the fire started?

[@thekiwicanuck]

I hear that local kids and homeless people light fires in there regularly...

[@scottsencounters]

@@thekiwicanuck not good. Do you enjoy living in Perth?

[@thekiwicanuck]

@Scotty's Encounters Yes, I love it, it will be 12 years soon!

[@scottsencounters]

@@thekiwicanuck excellent, glad your here. Im born and live in Perth. Is it better than Auckland in your opinion?

[@thekiwicanuck]

@Scotty's Encounters Auckland is a more beautiful city in my opinion, but the weather and affordability aren't as good!
