On behalf of the Attorney General, I
thank the honourable member for some notice of the question. It should be noted
that decisions such as these are operational and are a matter for the Fire and
Emergency Services Commissioner. However, the Department of Fire and Emergency
Services is able to advise the following —
(1) DFES did
receive a request from the Mundaring Volunteer Fire and Rescue Brigade for a
second light tanker for the coming fire season, which is in addition to its two
currently allocated fire appliances. The Mundaring Volunteer Fire and Rescue
Brigade is already well equipped for the bushfire season in line with other
brigades in the metropolitan area.
(2) It has not been approved.
(3) A number of
high fire season fire appliances are strategically located at various brigades
throughout the state for the high bushfire season. This year, as was the case
last season, an additional light tanker has been allocated within the Shire of
Mundaring to the Darlington Bush Fire Brigade. The Mundaring brigade is also
well supported by other brigades throughout the metropolitan area and state resources
such as aerial firefighting support.
