I can never understand why we still have to see if we can get crews on a fire ban day by doing a radio check or call captains...We should treat each day as the same and if its a fire ban then you know you have to page extra units....

hence why any rural incident on a TFB is 2nd alarm initial response per SOP.

Guys

But why wait 4, 5 ,6 10 minutes etc to wonder if an you are able to provide an appliance on a high risk fire danger day.

Smarter I would think to know what you have in your station as crew and skill level.

I guess the other stations which perform pre-planning also are incorrect in their management and leadership.

The same could be argued for other (equally urgent)types of call outs......  :| :evil:

It is ultimately up to the Captain to ensure that there are enough crews for various call outs, whatever they may be..... I suppose some brigades do so in a more public fashion than others, via the pager, while others perhaps do so in a less public manner (eg at training, or via some other means). 

How the brigade chooses to determine its potential crewing levels is a matter for each individual brigade.   :-D

ANYONE AVAILABLE FOR STRIKE TEAMS IF REQD INSTATE OR INTERSTATE CONTACT THE CAPTAIN ASAP PLEASE CFS Weetulta/Nalyappa Info

So the question here is, is something going down somewhere that the news hasn't picked up on, or is someone just being very efficient in their pre-planning?

No its just good pre-planning, bacause at our last group meeting (Mawson Group) all the Captains were asked to submit name of people who could go on task jobs in or out of state and for how long they could go for.

That part is the easy bit.
The head-scratcher is this...
You've just sent your only 5 people in-district off on a strike
team to the neighbouring group's area. All the rest of your
members work out-of-area in Adelaide CBD or further..
How to crew the second appliance for _possible_ local fires having
regard for members losing pay (food & shelter).
Remember, there isn't actually a local fire - just the possibility
of one.  It may not even be a TFB day.  How to spring your members
free of their employers without losing pay & good-will....

Possibly wrong dude, no body knows what the codes are (no notification or information give out as yet), but I can tell you this every page for a RCR unit so far is 029 regardless of the task, every page for a non RCR unit is 020. Except NOA029 of course! So who knows, but Noarlunga is the same as Tea Tree Gully, Eastern Suburbs & Metro South - USAR, Shoring,Vertical etc. All metro units are General Rescue units, Storm/Flood damage, so I'm not sure why Noarlunga would be 029 possibly a mistake. Wouldn't be the first :wink: easy way to find out though check out the number on their truck if it is 91, then it is RCR if it is 31 (or 2, 3) then its not. Hope this clears up the confusion.

Depends if you're measuring length or girth...

In some situations I would consider 50cm very well equipped... :P

The call takers usually ask the diameter of the tree/branch not the length. Be a bit hard to call a 50 cm length a tree wouldnt you think?? Would suggest it is the diameter.
