Darling Range Volunteer Bush Fire Brigade (Communications)

The Darling Range Volunteer Bush Fire Brigade is the specialist emergency services communications unit for the Shire of Mundaring in Western Australia.

At incidents, predominantly bush fires, the Incident Control Vehicle (ICV) provides communications support for the Incident Management Team (IMT). It is worth noting that DRVBFB personnel are  trained to be able to assist an Incident Management Team  in any situation and are not reliant on the facilities of the Incident Control Vehicle to provide effective support  at an incident.

This support includes radio, mobile telephone and facsimile services in addition to computer support for vehicle tracking, display of maps and GIS-derived data, and recording the presence of personnel and vehicles at the incident.
