For the SAAS Guru's .. :

1925616 09:01:28 11-07-07 HQ401 Cat2 Cnr Florence St, Fullarton 131 A6

Is this a Commander or SOT or in ICP/CTL ? .. - Or something totally different..

[mack]

i believe it is a paramedic crew. persons working on secondment in HQ still have there quals, and are able to respond to jobs in one of the busses kept there... i think there only usually used when SAAS are a bit stretched, btu i spose since its just around the corner...

[RescueHazmat]

Thanks  :-) .. Had never seen the call sign before.

It is Fleet 401 CTL or Crew Team Leaders car :wink:

[mack]

r u sure SAFirey?

i have been told it is crewed by either paramedics or ICPs seconded to HQ for other duties? i dont believe its a normal on the road car.

[RescueHazmat]

Whichever it is, CTL is Clinical Team Leader.   :-)

[JC]

 This means it is a HQ spare fleet ambulance,they give the 40 code to ambulances on standby at sporting or non-operational tasks,in this case 401, if there were more than one it would get 402, occasionally they may be needed to respond. As to what level of crewing they could have been anything from AOs to ICPs, but probably paramedics or ICparamedics being a Cat2 they were responding to.

[RescueHazmat]

Cheers.

For info they were downgraded to Cat3 shortly after.

Thanks for all the info.. :)

Hmmm interesting obviously they don't read the RCR resource directory for the correct 2nd rescue  :|

[uniden]

Then take it up with the relevant people... Dont use this medium as an MFS bashing tool.

Kalangadoo brigade's second callout page sent from Adelaide Fire the interesting thing is that we had no driver or crew except for me as i was the only one who rocked up at the station  :-) meaning that it was my responsibility to radio Wattle Range Base and inform we had no crew or driver

   

[5271rescue]

your a good lad robert so i take it you have done ya BFF1 now??

[Robert-Robert34]

Nah blinky everything has been sorted out now :-)i responded right away after reading it was an RCR but still i cant quite put my finger on why there wasnt anyone in town today :? after all the message said injuries unknown that should have resulted in a good crew turn out

I was tempted to set the station siren off but was advised by Wattle Range Base to wait around after getting on the radio to acknowledge our page when no-one turned up i radioed back and advised we had no crew at all 

[Smokey Bear]

How does this qualify as an interesting pager message? Is it interesting because Kalangadoo actually had a call out? or that they had no crew?

[5271rescue]

Two MVA's in a week in the doo

[Alan (Big Al)]

Hey i'm interested, 2 calls in a week thats like a busy brigade doing 30 calls in a week, almost a record :-P

This could be confusing, Coonalpyn and Tintinara are on the Dukes Highway albeit the highway does continue as the Western Highway, but only when it enters Victoria. Hope SE6 is familiar with the area.

It was the second Sunday in a row Kalangadoo has gotten called to an RCR which is really unusual especially seeing as how were a non RCR brigade :? If what happened yesterday with no crew but me being available happens during a Fire Ban Day this coming season well were gonna be in alot of trouble  :|

SE6 is (I believe) a RTL ... Probably backing up a Paramedic Bus or vollie crew.

now thats a bit far from there response area ey!.....and in terms of closest availble resource...wouldnt it be Norton Summit/Ashton???

[Pipster]

Pound Road is definitely Norton Summits area....and Campbelltown would have to drive past the front door of Norton Summit station to get to the tree, or if they came up another way, past Montacute & Cherryville stations....
