When will SAPOL finally get the point it isnt up to the "VOLUNTEER" to do jobs like this.

So what do you propose instead? Pull out 10 patrols from Adelaide and send them down to Bordertown to do the work? Wouldn't preparing a vehicle for recovery be part of the RCR operations? So rather than keep the volunteer crews out there, standing around twiddling their thumbs for hours while Major Crash take their photos, do their mesaurements and tests and whatever else, they release the volunteers, let them go get a couple more hours sleep, then bring them back one the recovery phase of the RCR operations is ready to begin.

Squirting locust carcasses off the road, now THAT is something thats a complete waste of volunteer time.

[Bagyassfirey]

i propose that when the emergency is over ITS OVER volunteer emergency crews go home. There are Salvage company's that get paid mega bucks to clean this up all the time. This is why we as VOLUNTEERS get used time and time again because unfortunately because of our attitude we give in and do these things.

Obviously my opinion only

[pumprescue]

Bagyass is right, there are salvage companies that do this, we are NOT in the business of unloading trucks, complete waste of time.

[misterteddy]

what was it they were unloading?....drums....animals....boxes?

[FlameTrees]

BUT...if the boxes are part of evidence as part of the investigation, then it would be an SES task (remember, they do sort of still fall under Police jurisdiction in a round a bout way). No different to SES doing an evidence search anywhere else really.


But I also understand what you are getting at, we use and abuse the volunteer time way too much.

[pumprescue]

We are our own worst enemy though, we keep saying yet !! Say NO sometimes, see what happens !

[mengcfs]

Did any of you fill out and return the "When is the emergency over" questionnaire the VFBA sent out?

maybe they were putting real jobs into sacad to see what it will produce?

[FlameTrees]

Yeah Ive seen them duplicate some real jobs as SACAD test over the last few days.

The no-duff train one was K41-1 too......

Yep, tested afterwards to see if it got the same/similar response.

CMS is effectively the current CAR041
DUTY OFFCR is a notification to the Adelaide Station duty officer to load and roll the heavy rescue pod.
Notifying the MLOs of all incidents 'of interest' is a new procedure.

[pumprescue]

I think in unusual circumstances the region can appoint a temporary captain, but otherwise its a voted position....but yes thing are going well when you have to invite the members to meet the captain because they have no idea who it is!!

[FlameTrees]

Deleted after getting more information...climbing off soap box...for now!

Is this an automated type dispatch by SACAD (for nearest resource etc) or an operator derived dispatch - seems like a lot of resources for this case... Didnt see any "disregard / event cancelled" messages afterwards either..???

Just curious..????
