It is used for training purposes Jimmy

[TillerMan]

Not exactly It is actually the MDT in Adelaide station, for those that don't know every station has an MDT. It is used alot for training though.

For all those that want a list of the station codes go here http://www.cfs.org.au/SACAD/brigade_short_name_codes.pdf

A bit of a delay there...?

[RescueHazmat]

Looks like a f/service member may have heard a heads up.. ??

[Pipster]

The first page went to an SES pager group, not CFS....

Interesting to see that a number of SES pagers, in other areas, are seemingly not going through Adelaide Fire, but appear to be paged locally, by individuals.....   :|

Pip

[RescueHazmat]

Yeah, sorry meant Fire Serv. or Rescue (SES).. Basically really meant its wasnt from SAAS.  :-)

[Alan (Big Al)]

Probably got phoned through to their duty officer who rang link?? You'd think you'd just ring adelaide fire and get the whole lot going??

SAAS were paged at 1550 for that job. :|

most SES units appear to work differently to CFS in that what would be called the response page if it were CFS, only goes to the duty officer / unit manager, ie. one person.  That person then pages the rest of the unit to respond.  Eg. here's what I mean:

11:54:13  09-08-07  MFS: INC # 19 - 09/08/07 11:54,RESPOND BUILD IMPACT,21 GULFVIEW RD,CHRISTIES BEACH, MAP 185 G 7 ,,CAR INTO HOUSE,439 72820 431*CFSRES: SES Noarlunga Response

11:59:48  09-08-07  PRIORITY 1 CALLOUT BLDG IMPACT REPORT TO UNIT REGARDS TREVOR SES Noarlunga Info

so the members of the unit only get the second page (5 mins later too) and respond based on that.  Seems a funny way to do things to me but there ya go.

[Dave O]

Its mainly the metro SES units that do this... And normally to a senior group (4-6 members)
Pretty much aimed at the jobs which may not require a response right that minute.
For example, it allows the duty officer or unit manager to recce a tree down, and perhaps postpone the task until outside working hours to make it more volunteer friendly. Instead of every member rushing to the unit...
A 5 minute difference in SES dispatch/arrival when local MFS/CFS are rolling isnt going to be a major problem..

They have Moorak 34 as a spare at present :wink:

They have Moorak 34 as a spare at present

And what a beast it is, as long as you have a step ladder to get into the cab and can handle the lack of power steering :)

[Darius]

ha, those country types are a bit tougher than you (us) city wusses obviously ;)

[Pipster]

And perhaps a bit taller!!    :-D

[SA Firey]

Like the page for South Coast SES to Assist MFS at a Hazmat job at Victor Harbour on Saturday :-o

That job was an oil spill a few kilometres long, believe they got the ses in for they're good broom work :evil:

That explains it Al :lol:

[rescue5271]

you should be tall enough to get in the cab Matt,that appliances served the brigade well so look after it(lololololol) it does not like going across hills so dont let anyone in little red cars drive it????? :lol:

[Zippy]

15:50:26   14-08-07   LOFT: Message to Capts only: Region seeking X2 drivers to transport some 24 appliances over to KI on the 30th August and then get flown back. Meet at Region at 11am drive across and get flown back at around 7pm.Please let me know CFS Lofty Group Officers Info

Looks like a good plan by Region  :-D

[uniden]

Maybe the plan is to leave a few spare appliances over there for breakdowns, strike teams etc. good thinking.

[bittenyakka]

well since they are starting to fly strike teams in for a day and out that night this must be so there are some trucks for these crews.

[Alan (Big Al)]

That is wahat they are going over there for, i thinks it's nine trucks or something that will be over there for the fire season so all they have to do is fly or ship us over there.
