Haven't been in the job long Mr. 206 have we?

yeah that makes sense.....fireban today in your area with a probable high and eratic wind....so lets light up all the paddocks around us.....and then bitch like 20 men cos someone doesnt give us 24hrs notice and 4 registered mail warnings about the fire that got away from "you blokes who stuffed up stopping it".......

sometimes you just want to beat them to death with a blunt object

Its not the burning off paddocks that is the problem before a fire ban day because they are burnt and done within an hour. Its whats known as "chaff cart heaps" that can smoulder for days. from reports thats how the fire started at cummins. And there have been others get away from these burning heaps.

and our core business again is?

[Zippy]

Bangers and Mash?

[CFS_Firey]

and our core business again is?

To protect life, property and the environment from fire and other emergencies whilst protecting and supporting our personnel and continuously improving?  or something?

[Alex]

and our core business again is?

Surely if this got scheiße house enough, it could fall under a CBR banner where we are concerned?

Anyway, what happens when half the fire service is out of action with said pandemic? Im thinking they need a plan of some sort.

turnout times for half the Brigades would improve because they would default?

The main focus of the Tele-con was to plan how best to protect our fire-fighters if the PANDEMIC hits Aust. So I see it as very relevant. Gee bashed if you don't plan bashed if you do

Yeh your right, we bash you when your doing the right thing, we bash you when your doing the wrong thing! Good thing we ride around on Fire trucks not Harleys, otherwise Mike would be after us!

would have thought that a very brief teleconference.....follow the instructions from SA Health, SAAS, and no doubt the SES who will be there in case Swine Flu becomes lodged in trees

Emergency Management Plan?

Or shall we go by your thinking and keep the Fire (and other) Emergency Services in the dark, till the day it may become a major problem, then just expect everyone to jump into action and know what to do.. ?

Pre Planning.. AIIMS.. Forward Thinking.. - shall I risk saying it, Common Sense?

Hmmm..

Oh course you can't do a google search of the internet & find a copy of the Plan that was updated in 2007 !! Try http://www.pandemicinfluenza.sa.gov.au/ and the bottom right-hand corner links. The National plan was even tested in 2008  

The Operational Plan lists that State Emergency Centre (SEC) would be activated by Dept of Health to co-ordinate a state-wide response and SES could assist with Transport

It is good to see the screening organised quickly at the airports. Hmmmmm, maybe that was pre-planned tooo....     

Even my workplace (international IT firm) has activated monitoring for 'business continuity' issues for clients. This includes any sick employee worldwide.
