The Department of Fire and Emergency Services (DFES) advises:
For large scale incidents such as the Northcliffe fire, DFES requires time to fully record and validate incident information for reporting purposes. The Northcliffe incident remains open and data is still being captured for reporting purposes.
Final deployment figures for an incident are calculated using Post Incident Reports that are submitted on closure of the incident and, as the incident is still open, are still to be received.
For a list of units and agencies that are currently recorded in DFES corporate operational information systems as having been deployed to this incident [see tabled paper no.]. This list also provides information on the duration that each unit was on the fireground.
