550kms

Surely we had an observation chopper stationed closer than Leigh Creek?

[Pipster]

Looks like the NRG guys, for some reason, are on the paging list to recieve the dispatch messages for the Bombers...like many other Groupies & Captains around the place....

The Bombers were at WAB - Woodside Airbase, so not far away......

12:47:24 03-01-10 MFS: FROM ROBE CFS, STOP MESSAGE FOR INCIDENT 34 - BOAT FIRE. THANKYOU. CFS Robe Response

I would assume Robe CFS were able to find out the local extra information you cannot place on a page.

[Robert-Robert34]

That would explain this message

not just that, the NRG guys also get SIG INC pages too (not all the time but often). It was advised to HQ this was occuring a long time ago but nothing has been done about it, I guess if the NRG guys aren't complaining who cares.

Or perhaps there just meant to get it to keep them updated.

[Robert-Robert34]

The NRG guys hardly get any fire calls at all so this is a way to keep them informed of whats happening on the outside world

[Zippy]

Leigh Creek is rather isolated, i guess if anyone of us were there, we'd love to recieve random pager messages!

[Darren]

Or possibly its an old address that is used for something else now?

After listnening to an absolute scheiße storm over the radio between the IC and a lt from an appliance regarding closest appropriate resources not being responded, is it appropriate to to do this or is it better logging your grievances after the incident.

[6739264]

And the subsequent manual turnout...

15:04:01 05-01-10 STBN: *CFSRES: RESPOND STRATHALBYN STATION MANUAL TURNOUT 05-01-10 15:03

That was quite a nice little conversation on the radio. Frankly,the Woodchester Lt. should probably shut up and log his grievances later.

[Mike]

And the subsequent:

1909035 15:13:14 05-01-10 STBN: STOP CALL RECEIVED 05-01-10 15:12 CFS Strathalbyn Response

Not having heard it, I could understand something being said. Sounds like things mave have gone a little to far?? Certainly should be followed up after the incident in any case.
Why was the manual turnout message generated though? Even if it was just to get crew to the station, its boarderline to self responding...

[DaveP]

I did not hear the conversation but in a hypothetical situation that ends in the coroners court , if the question is asked of an individual - "Did you believe that there were closer, more appropriate units available?" and the answer is given - "yes" the subsequent question would surely be " What did you do to improve the situation?" . What would the coroner consider the best answer - " I decided to shut up and log my grievance later" or "I made sure the Incident controller was aware of the options I knew about" ?

After listnening to an absolute filtered storm over the radio between the IC and a lt from an appliance regarding closest appropriate resources not being responded, is it appropriate to to do this or is it better logging your grievances after the incident.

Google Maps - Wellington Road / Bunnetts Road

Nairne..14.6km

Littlehampton... 12km

Strathalbyn.... 15km

[Darren]

Yeah last time I checked its not that far from littlehampton to wistow, same with Nairne, around the back way they are fairly quick. After that response no further resources were needed.

Yeah, that Lt from Woodchester sure did his block, but I am sure the IC has his reasons for following response plans........

As you said you didn't hear the conversation, but:

There is a LARGE difference between making your concerns known to the IC, and blowing up on the radio and pretty much demanding that your group be responded. Then having Strath manual turnout.

Especially when fact happens to prove that you are wrong in your assumptions of who is closer...
