yes they do the freqs above NPWS should help u out

Does the DECC (dept enviroment and climate change)/NPWS in the Sydney area use 2 two ways I notice the rangers at Nilson park (syd east) have cool 4wd quad bike ute they run around in.

Does the VRA still have a place in responding to incidents such as September 11 if they were to occur in NSW

I would have thought between ambo scat, fire rescue, police rescue and then ses they would have more than enough resources. As well as the USAR gear the nswfb has got in various locations

I know SES are only trained upto USAR level 1, but to what level are VRA trained at ?

Yes I do believe VRA Units would be called in to assist in a Support Role in a September 11 style attack here in Sydney if the incident was large enough.

They may not be directly involved in the search of survivors of a major building collapse, but I can see them being used for a secondary search of damaged surrounding buildings, traffic control, logistics and other tasks, performing similar tasks as the SES, Red Cross, St John Ambulance and Department of Community Services.
