The Commissioner records with regret the death of 5359 Senior Firefighter Geoffrey David Lidbetter of Wollongong Communication Centre on 6 July 2005.
The Roads and Traffic Authority (RTA) operates heavy vehicle checking stations at Willow Tree, Twelve Mile Creek, Mt White, Bell, Mt Boyce and Marulan.
Cameras are installed at these locations to record the details of heavy vehicles which fail to enter the stations.
All NSWFB vehicles weighing over 4.5 tonnes or having a Gross Vehicle Mass greater than 8 tonnes must enter RTA checking stations if not responding to an incident. The majority of NSW appliances exceed these limits.
Whenever an appliance is travelling past a checking station it must enter the checking station unless under lights and sirens or otherwise directed by the RTA.
