23.01.2022 Seems we might have scared a few residents out Brigadoon way last night, who could have been forgiven for thinking 2020 was about to get weirder - mysterious mist shrouded lights were seen flickering out over the hills until 1am... It was us - sorry!! Swan SES attended a commercial property to secure a roof which had partially blown off and presented a hazard to the public. Due to poor visibility and torrential rain, we deployed our lighting tower - which from the photos po...sted on a local community group, looked like little orange beings were making contact DFES Department of Fire and Emergency Services
