That’s a huge response for what apparently a cat could have sprayed to put it out.
Eight vehicles and all they had was smoke?

And o course, had they only sent one truck and there was a fire that got away in today’s extreme fire danger, Pork Hunt would be the first to ask why they didn’t respond properly.

Call me old fashioned and perhaps a bit normal but I like to think that professionals employed to do a job normally have more of an idea of how to handle a situation than some armchair stirrer…

Definitely plead guilty to being an armchair stirrer but what was the Bronto doing there? And TWO command vehicles. There is nothing taller than a dugout at Harman ffs.

They seem to have been responding with the Bronto regularly of late. It’s use isn’t limited to accessing high places, it can also pour large amounts of water on a structure from height. Some metro fire brigades have dedicated pumpers that serve that function without having to use an entire Bronto rig (e.g. telesquirt).

As for the rest of the response, it is extensive, but given the nature of the place perhaps not surprising.
