Nope, stop calls received. Heard of the GRN radio scanner that the glider was found in trees, but person had walked to get a saw to cut the glider down. Crews took a while to find him because he did not know emergency services crew were looking for him.

Just following the SOP's

SOP 4 mate.

K99 or persons reported for a c-risk is automatic second alarm.

Thanks! I don't know what these "SOP" things are... I was querying if the S/O on scene was able to/did stop the turning out of an Automatic second alarm. Can you actually fit that many firies and hoses around a shed that small?

how can u say over supplying appliances to a minor incident, were u there? how do you know the shed wasn't full of gas bottles of jerry cans full of fuel, how do u know the sehd wasnt attached to a house? maybe MFS should listen to you and under supply these so called minor incidents then when your shed catches fire and a single pump turns up but cant handle it you loose the shed and your house, use a bit of common sense.

I know it was your first SAMFS job and all, just relax... If, as a rule of thumb, 2 x appliances and some hard work can tackle a house fire, how does that scale for a 5m x 3m shed? No issue if the upgrade is for a given risk, but I'm just interested in the Automatic 2A. If my shed caught fire and a single pump rocked up and couldn't stop it spreading into my house, I would be seriously concerned about the crews competency and would suggest they went back to Drill Squad. It's amazing to see what proactive, gutsy, firefighting can achieve.

sometimes you just need appliances for water and all the reasons that F7 has

Sure, but automatically for a Shed smaller than my bedroom?

Nothing wrong with upgrading and also two reasons for it are A) The crews are in PBI, and at a going job that's hard work, and B)fresh resources to give the crews a break and also share the workload around the job makes sense to me.

We've said it before and we will say it again, better to have resources responding than to wait till it hits the fan, and a STOP CALL never hurt anyone.

Christ, if you need fresh crews and resources for a "Hard work" job that is 15m² maybe the boys should be heading into the gym a little more often ;)

thanks TFT and SA FIREY, great to see some ppl with common sense about themselves, cheers

Asking questions of a procedure that appears to not take into account the actual incident is a lack of common sense? Sorry I don't agree with everything you and your agency does.

At least they are not wearing goggles to house fires numbers...maybe that should be suggested to MFS.

According to Mr. Corcoran, SAMFS rural gloves are terrible - can't think what their goggles must be like, if they even have them.

6739264 it seems you are trolling to stir up other users. Its easy to sit on your scanner cranking it up and make judgements based on a 2 or 3 line MCT message. I would guess that most of the 2nd alarm appliances were turned back straight away, what is the harm in over resourcing a job anyway?? If another incident happened at same time they would all be availble to respond so no damage done.

Me, stirring people up, but asking common sense questions at the same time?

Have you read any of my previous posts?

Without getting people as wound up as it would seem has happened, I was merely asking about the validity of having an Automatic 2A response, without it taking into account of the actual structure involved. The risk classes are pretty wide ranging and as such it would seem that a one size fits all SOP for the different risk classes, rather than allowing the S/O on scene to advise Comms of wht he/she actually requires, is perhaps not the best way to do things?

God forbid I ask a question on a discussion forum?

Numbers a Troll?

HAHAHAHAHHAA.......

Ferret - obviously you are a very green public servant who still worships those above him.

Give it time Proby.....you'll get as old and wise (or is that cynical) as Numbers one day!

Smoke in area? bit odd. Believe it was a drowning and they got the person out of the water in time. to quote what i heard on the scanner "he is alive and breathing".

If SA was the job code used to produce 'smoke in area', what does AS job code produce ?

Any one know what happened?

I believe she was found to have some infection so extra precautions needed to be taken.
