FESA owned equipment and appliances are included in Q4. (3) FESA's accounting system is not structured to provide this response. (4) 2008/09 $22.396 million 2009/10 $24.783 million 2010/11 $35.219 million 2011/12 $8.410 million(to 31/10/2011) Please note, the outlays in Question 2 are not included in FESA's Capital Works Program(which includes land, buildings and equipment for career and volunteer fire and rescue brigades), and are therefore not included in this total. (5) Resource allocations are based on operational need, supported by a risk-to-resource analysis.
