Interesting Fire and Emergency Related Paging

[pumprescue]

And there isn't unlimited space on the pagers, hence why we ring in !!

Trust me, sometimes what SAPOL say and what is ACTUALLY happening are very different. I can remember going to a call recently, comms said SAPOL advise just a fuel spill. we rock up, 2 persons trapped. But I guess there was a spillage, so they weren't entirley wrong.

[029]

just a few words like wall collapsed or shoring required can make all the difference in an SES response as to do they need extra gear

we get the other problem of CFS not reading the entire page

read details dont read who is coming so when its hamley bridge 19 (cant remember short code) and kap029 they dont read it

we rock up with all the bling on and find out we were never required and CFS defence is we didnt know you were comming you show them on the pager and they go oh sorry but mistakes happen and we all get over it

so drink a cup of cement and harden the .... up

Does that usually mean the call came from SAPOL comcen, and hence will be as accurate as info from any other comcen?

Many a times ive receieved a page saying "From Sapol"..majority of the crew thinks SAPOL is already on scene.  When the case is actually.."Information recieved by SAPOL Comcen".

going fire respond station - SEAFORD STATION

seen a fair bit on crewing issues on here lately...anyone know if this the case here or just a bit of confusion??

[mattb]

There was a bit of confusion with this job, initially it was treated as CFS area, then it was changed to MFS area, then back to CFS area and finally they left it at MFS area - interestingly the CFS map books show it as being in CFS area. The house was pretty close to the boundary but the line goes through a paddock behind the houses not a house or road.

Morphett Vale and Seaford and MFS were on the initial page, Morphett Vale only had three crew at the four minute mark so we requested Mclaren Vale to respond. At the six minute mark Morphett Vale 24P responded with five crew, Seaford Pumper also responded. MFS arrived and upgraded the initial response so Morphett Vale 24 also responded with a crew and extra BA operators as well as an extra MFS pump.

House was going end to end when crews arrived, two BA operators from Morphett Vale teamed up with two from MFS to go in and do a primary search and exinguishment. Pretty much your standard house fire with lots of damage and an occupant with smoke inhalation. Happy Valley were also responded for a Change of Quarters to Morphett Vale to cover the Seaford and Morphett Vale areas.

In the end it was left with MFS as they wanted to claim it as their area and our guys were happy to leave them to overhaul all day with fire cause.

Standard level of confusion but at least we managed to get a couple of trucks out the door from our station, hopefully with our new batch of recruits now on the trucks things should be ok for us.

Have noticed this quite a bit lately. Are Meadows light on for trained operators (RCR)? Or just light on for crew in general?? Every MVA seems to be with Barker..

[OMGWTF]

Ive been told that at the moment they are unable to garaunee a rescue crew... and have done the responsible thing by organising all of there rescue/VA responses to include the second rescue on initial turnout.


Seems to have increased the workload of blackwood and mt barker dramatically.

Diesel Spill in the "Street Number" Field of MFS-CAD.

[Cameron Yelland]

also wattle range ses instead of cfs were paged....although i dont believe the ses received the page....unless my pdw skipped a beat?

[pumprescue]

This is where it gets confusing, when talking about CFS 28 in the callsign is Hazmat, just to make things clear as mud !

[uniden]

28 is CFS hazmat Camo, But Millicent didnt receive the page by the looks, hence the manual page turnout.

Surely more to it than a locked gate.  If that's all it was, then why was ANY agency bothered, let alone Rescue, Pump and SES!!!  Maybe just Sapol to 'TIN' for being a dhead.

[pumprescue]

Nope just a locked gate, someone needs a rocket for sending that out, what a joke....

Someone must have hit the wrong button, or someone has made one hell of a mistake! No fire No rescue, Unless of course there is a new way of responding crews & I haven't heard about it. And yes I know it was a busy night.
Anyway I'm sure someone will have an answer that makes sense.
cheers

it's an automatically generated page if the VA box is tagged -it's part of the Adelaide Uni road crash research unit
