"Adelaide Fire Morialta 14 responding to scrub fire Humbug Scrub over" DEH saves the day :lol:

[Zippy]

i think that has to really bug Adelaide Fire to bits!!

[chook]

Why?

[Zippy]

Cos DEH self-respond along to CFS jobs, just by watching the paging feed......bit lame at this time of the year,  but alright in the height of summer i guess.   It would be nice if Adelaide fire had the ability to page the DEH Bases. also identifying themselves as "DEH Morialta 14" would help...

I didnt realise DEH actually operated through adelaide fire anyway

Somebody's gotta begin the resource tracking of those rougies ;)

17:03:58   13-10-08   to all mundoo members the fire season has been brought foward to the 15th november 2008  CFS Mundoo Group Info

So does someone now something that even headquarters state they don't or are they guessing?

QUOTE from AdelaideNow news site 13/10/08
"SATELLITE images suggest the fire danger season is approaching faster than the Country Fire Service is prepared to admit.

The Bureau of Meteorology predicts the state is "ready to burn fairly soon", but the CFS is yet to declare when the fire ban season will begin."

Cheers

There is a lot CFS are'nt telling us :wink:

[OMGWTF]

Just some over excited person who enjoys sending out pager messages i should think.

No dates have been formally released, and if you look at the CFS site, they are just showing the standard dates, ie; 1st December for MLR.

[jaff]

Nah they have it nailed, 15th seems to be the date :wink:

[OMGWTF]

Nah they have it nailed, 15th seems to be the date :wink:

Would lvoe to know where this info has come from?
As i would have expected to hear/read this somewhere considering my employer... and yet i havent....

[Pipster]

The dates for this fire season are supposed to be Gazetted this Wednesday - so all dates will be official then.

I heard a CFS spokesman talking last week about the Fire Danger Season, and indicated that it is likely that the dates are going to be brought forward two weeks.

I guess we will find out for sure tomorrow!!

MFS defaulting to CFS, dont see that every day!!  :evil: I think MFS were at another job but still highlights the importance of the two fire services.

[Alan (Big Al)]

It is extremely rare for them to default through lack of crew. But they did call for SES pretty quickly for the earlier job, so maybe one of those days when no one is around.

I'm referring to the Gazetted Fire Danger Season - which is not all year round   :wink:

[Zippy]

Fire Danger is 24/7/365 tho...and the CFS needs to promote THAT...not just the RURAL Fire danger Season...grrr, not aimed at you pip :)

how i understand it Euan made his decision by today because if they want to bring it forward they have to give 14 days notice or something.

So it looks like someone in the Mundoo group has their finger on the pulse after all.  If only they could predict the big incidents a couple of days before they start we could really do some forward planning.   :-D

Nah wasn't a default, was for the 2nd truck...they were stopped shortly after

Strange that they didnt go through Adelaide Fire to default to SES, as they did with CFS. As it appears both times SES have been responded its come from a local page from SES people???

[RescueHazmat]

They didn't actually default..
