Possibly SES flat bed trucks as a logistics deployment from Adelaide to Warooka.
Great to see all of the equipment being used to help each other & the community.

Stay safe...

With the bombers from Woodside and the South East on Kangaroo Island one cant help to wonder why the CFS hasnt asked for the Elvis Skycrane based in Canberra to be deployed to assist with bombing operations :|

Have just received a request regarding current roadworks etc on several of the roads I look after with regards to a convoy of fire trucks coming from interstate today and heading to KI to ensure they are given priority on the roads or through any areas of roadworks/delays etc......

Ahhh, we need our own Air Crane with an appalling name this year.

If Vic has Elvis and NSW has Shania... what should we get?
