an interesting debate. the facts for this one are :
1. the crew were asked on CTAF if emergency services were required, to which they advised negative.
2. the services were activated not from newman but from njs operations who called them as this is one of their procedures.
3. fully agree with bloggs, to suggest some bill is generated as the result of calling the services out is crap. in newman, the BHP service, and volunteer fire and ambulance services responded, and the police. No-one gets a bill.
