Interesting Fire and Emergency Related Paging

[Baxter]

Of course the CFS don't build/order decent urban trucks, but they're better than the half arsed attempt, one size fits all, 34P. We'll get there eventually...maybe... when the kickbacks stop.

Bit bit critically of the trucks that CFS build. I can't see a problem to the way that the trucks are built the problems lays in the way what brigades want to do with the truck once it is in their shed. Both the rurals and rural urbans have problems but the world not perfect. I would like to see some more flexibility in the what Brigades can do with the truck once they have received it i.e able to put an extra shelf in here or there or move a container bracket so that it is not a catching point.

Yes number you are right it is interesting pager message thread and here is my contribution

Malleefire - your post implies you are obviously from a brigade where life is simple and most jobs are either rural or vehicle related. If you were in an urban brigade, you may understand how most CFS vehicles just dont cut the mustard.

Surely SACAD is going to fix every response issue between all emergency services! :-P

"All hail SACAD" , "All hail the Skycrane"  :-D

[Baxter]

Well OMGWTF never assume anything as you know what the word is made up of (making an) donkey (of) u and me. I learnt that to change a truck design that it take time and that it can't be done quickly. Change can only occur when people are prepared to work together not fly off the handle at each other and through right forums. I like to work from the perspective that there are no problems only solutions.

By the way Brigade that I am with responds to vehicles and town jobs. We have to go away for rural jobs.

[Hazmat206]

I didn't know- just a bit odd it happening again in the same place if some one was arrested

If it's tagged as  "the usual" block of units, it would suggest that more has happened there than just things last week. Goverment Housing perhaps?

There is an intersection ( on brigades/ group response boundaries) in Verdun near Hahndorf, known locally as the Bermuda triangle.
It was given this name for the ability to consume upto six brigade responses to a simply car accident and still have room for more.
Any brigade from a selection of Stirling, Aldgate, Bridgewater, Hahndorf, Balhannah or Barker could be sent, any the standard was usually 3.

this block of units has been in the media several times in the last month with deliberate fires lit in empty units, stairwells etc. I'm guessing that Largs and the Port know the details well enough by now

FIRE crews are on red alert as a "large" fire burns in the Onkaparinga gorge south of Adelaide.

The fire started about 5pm and is heading towards Chapel Hill Rd.
Eight crews and three water bombers have been sent to tackle the fire and strike teams are being organised.

A message to a CFS crew at 5.17pm stated "all members be aware large fire at Gorge please be prepared".

The fire is burning up steep terrain and is "fairly inaccessible

Hah, and some people dont think the media are watching EVERYTHING...

Making 332 priority 1 at one station, then re-directing them back to their station as a COQ's priority 1? A bit too reliant on 332 i think- more COQ's need to be made, especially priority 1's.

[Alex]

I think we might have a slight idea what we're doing...  :wink:

Scanner jockeys can stand down.... Ta.


Edit; i might just add to this... since you cant see MDT messages, perhaps you have no idea what's going on in the big picture?

[Hazmat206]

I'm reading between the lines :wink:

[Alex]

Might need to put your glasses on then...

I dont see how sending 332 back to there own station, once 32 had an appliance home is "too reliant on 332".


I may just be over-tired though.

[Hazmat206]

Pretty quick for a truck to return to its station (32)for a 2nd alarm....

[Alex]

Not worth arguing mate...

As i said.. Scanner jockeys can stand down.

[Hazmat206]

I'm not a scanner jockey if i like to keep up to date on what's going on, just cos i'm not at work, i can still take an interest in it.8-)

[bittenyakka]

yeah reading between the lines isn;t a good thing.

I will ask is it acceptable to be sending appliances P1 for COQs as they are not actually responding?
