Interesting Fire and Emergency Related Paging

[Ringer]

Maybe its about time they started training all brigades even ones which only get maybe 5 or 10 calls a year as SAAS first responders so if the situation when SAAS assist comes up then the closest brigade could be called 

Robert I am pretty certain SAAS first responders are required to do a skills maintenance package each year just like members of St John do, this means they are actually required to turn up to Brigade training sessions to get their skills signed off. When was the last time you attended brigade training??? If you where a member of St John you would have been asked to hand your uniform in a long time ago for not completing your skills maintenance. If you don't beleive me why not turn up to training and ask your BTO I beleive he is still a member of St John.

Robert,There is no need to train every brigade but may be one or two of the larger brigade's with in a group who have members that are willing and able to do the training but also are willing to get right into the red and brown stuff.Its more than just putting a band aid on someone hand and I can tell you its filtered hard work pumping on someone chest till SAAS get there

I am well aware of a number of brigade's within CFS that have or are looking at buying O2 and AED out of their own funds so as to help SAAS but also to look after their own members at a job. SAAS numbers are low both in the staff and the volunteer stations,time they fixed that problem may be take those members out of comms and put them back on the road??

Too bad we cant go back to the Good Ol Days when there was hardly a shortage of SAAS crews

The good old days are long gone time to move on in life....

You are correct Ringer, the vollie crews now have to do Cert 4 Training to keep up their skills.

Now theres a reason for a Aerial Appliance in the Sticks. 

[chook]

Should have an escape system, and be able to lower the bucket from the ground - loxtons vertical rescue unit could help as well.
Or one of those nets you see on the old movies "Jump you filtered jump" I think how the song goes

Hmmm does anyone else know anything about this one 

[Cameron Yelland]

Just trying to find out.

All i got so far was a spill on the princes hwy in victoria.  Highway is closed.

[Robert-Robert34]

Or maybe a truck full of farmers union iced coffee tipped over  .... sounds like the spill must have been big enough for the highway to be closed off going out of Mount Gambier

Thats a worry, gawler truck on a call, both elizabeth trucks in gawler on a call and one of the salisburys on a call. I'd hope my house wouldn't catch on fire in gawler or elizabeth!

[RescueHazmat]

Callouts happen.. You just 'not going to go' incase there is another one closer?

Im sure the comcen boys had it well in hand..

[Darren]

Sigh, I love when people second guess whats happening

331 was diverted to COQ 35 for the first call

332 was diverted COQ 35 for the second call

359 then went K4 so 332 went back to 33

301 went COQ to 32

It was all in hand.

Thankyou, come again...

[Pipster]

But the pager system shows everything that happens...doesn't it?   

Pip

[Katrina]

Your exactly right Pip, all those important facts are down there so everyone else can understand exactly why Comms did what they did LOL 

[Hazmat206]

Firstly, the pager doesn't show EVERYTHING.
i didn't see where 321 was or coq's for 301.
Secondly, i was just being sarcastic about how some many trucks were on a call around one district, thats all, no need to make a big deal
