WA Fire & Rescue run one Incident Control Vehicle (ICV) in the Perth Metro area. The main role of the ICV is to enable communication, command and control at large scale incidents.
ICVs are equipped with Radios and other communications equipment such as facsimile, mobile telephone and data/internet capabilities to enable connectivity with the Communications Centre, and with crews at the incident. The ICV is also a location for the Incident Controller (IC) and Incident Management Team (IMT) to operate from.
Earlier models predominantly provided communications terminals and a small workspace internally, and carried awnings or tents to establish a larger working area outside the vehicle.
The outside of these earlier models was often utilised for ‘battle boards’ showing resource deployment, and Incident maps
The latest ICV for FRSWA saw a major upgrade, featuring a custom made body on a Scania Crew Cab Chassis. The ICV features a slide out section, which increases the internal workspace. The internal space provides separate communications and IMT space. A dedicated stairway and window enables the separation of crews reporting to the ICV from the IMT operations, reducing distraction and clutter.

Appliance Type – CO2 Tender (Specialised Appliance)
Fleet number – ME 201
Cab Chassis – Isuzu
Body Builder – Mills Tui
Registration – BR76ZA
This Isuzu replaced a previous Isuzu model at Pyrmont Fire Station in 2013.
The CO2 tender is used to combat fires where water or other extinguishing agents are unsuitable. Key examples of these are electrical fires and shipboard fires. In these situations, CO2 extinguishers are often used, but this tender can supply a large quantity of CO2 via a hoseline similar to a ‘first-aid’ reel located on most fire appliances. In some situations, such as underground electrical substations, connections on buildings or access panels on the street exist where CO2 can be pumped through fixed piping similar to a booster system.
