Where these just testings? or did the Port Augusta crew have four separate calls within 13 seconds?

[Zippy]

I do agree, either that...or they are notoriously faulty.

[uniden]

That particular capcode was not the port augusta response one though.

on surface value, there all "no carrier" alarms... perhaps someone cut the line that connects them.

[Footy]

i know that a new hardware store has been "off lined" due to 6 or 8 no carrier alarms over the course of a weekend.
Hopefully there is a secondary alarm system that they are falling back on during this time??

[Alan (Big Al)]

If the sprinkler head was knocked off causing water flow through the system wouldn't this normally be a primary alarm??

[uniden]

Yes a sprinkler activation would be a primary alarm. A no carrier is a fault in the link from the premises to the MFS. Or a fault at either end.

[rescue5271]

Footy if its the hardware shop I think,it has a number of back up alarms....

[Zippy]

too right there mate,  a single CFSRES then a URGMSG should be enough...a proper default didnt occur. 

We all know who *doesnt* these out of character actions ;).

a no carrier means the alarm system is offline.... no connection to the service provider (MFS??) and therefore no information from the premises to the fire service.... fall back would be 000.

MFS: CFSRES FURTHER CALLS ADVISE THIS HAS NOW STARTED A GRASS FIRE CFS Woodside Response

Last I knew Onkaparinga Group was TG140, obviously have'nt fixed the filtered from the other day.TG100 is Region 2 boys :-P

[Zippy]

hehe yep, not the only time its happened...lets wait and see what the Talkgroup is for Lobethal, Lenswood and Balhannah ;)

[bittenyakka]

does it matter MFS assign a tg to an incident so be it if it is 100. for all i care want the first job have TG 1 the 2nd job have tg 2 etc and when inc no 1 is finished then tg 1 can be re assigned.

[jaff]

Yes bittenyakka it matters,the GRN talkgroups have been assigned for several years now and worked well having dedicated primary and secondary talkgroups for each group.
Now that AF have finally got around to following SOP10.14 and should be putting the primary response brigades talkgroup on the page ,it will help brigades such as your own that respond with other groups to help determine who is primary to each response.
The new funding arrangements that have been mooted will be very much influenced by the amount of primary calls each brigade does each year, unfortunately this looks to be the way of the future,tell me if I'm wrong,my thoughts only.

Cheers Jaff

[bittenyakka]

Oh so it means we will have a referee in determining  who is primary response  rather than hoping the other brigade knows their boundary's

[Footy]

Or having a captain who thinks he is boss at every call?

[Cameron Yelland]

and footy kicks a goal!
