Interesting Fire and Emergency Related Paging

[Zippy]

Thats an idea...a CFS Intranet that goes beyond State and Region but also to brigades ;)

[Alan (Big Al)]

Never even heard of it until now :|

Apart from the obvious what does it actually do??

[Red Message]

If you have a good T/O that gives you the state and region course lists, that should make the best of the 'advertisement' side of things Zippy. That is a big IF though  :wink:

As to what the course has in it, when I did it, it was focusing on the different types of maps used, as well as how to direct someone correctly, and finally looking at major and minor landmarks to use as points of reference given a major disaster.

Hopefully it is the same course that SASES have been delivering. Sounds like the same competency.

I'm not sure if I would bother getting out of bed the second time, maybe push the wall over, put up barrier tape and then no dramas :wink:
cheers

[safireservice]

obviously the police thought it to be more of a risk than the MFS?

[chook]

Yep & maybe that discussion should of taken place prior to a Stop call being issued in the first place, interagency coordination at its best :wink:
After all these guys are volunteers who have jobs to got to in the morning, so as I said a bit of consultation at the scene & a decision made would be a lot more professional than "go" "don't go" "go" don't you think?
Anyway I said my piece & I'm sure the payed staff of our service will look into it.
cheers

OK, we all know how it works, especially with this weather, but my whinge for the day... :roll:

10:43:18 17-05-08 MFS: *CFSRES INC049 17/05/08 10:41,RESPOND To,*** BLACK RD,FLAGSTAFF HILL MAP 165 Q 2 TG182,WATER COMING THROUGH LIGHT GLOBE DUE TO,LEAKING ROOF,OHH421 HPPY00

1. Call a plumber to fix the roof, then,
2. An Electrician to check the wiring is safe and dry,

but why "000" ?.

Sometime ago now, the circuit breaker was invented.  Even more recently, the RCD (safety switch) was invented.  These should adequately protect the installation from catching fire, in this circumstance.  But if your not sure, turn the filtered thing off just in case. Then refer to 1. and 2. above

Unless there is ACTUALLY a fire, dont call the Emergency services - don't you think they're busy anough at the moment!

Lack of proper home maintenance does not constitute an emergency.  More than likely, we will just isolate it and tell the owner to call a sparky anyway.

Enough said.  Whinge over  :-D

Could have been a call to 132500, not 000. At that time both lines are answered by MFS ComCen. A person being electrocuted is a risk in my book.

During the late afternoon, I answered a 132500 call as a SES volunteer when SES SCC sctivated. The resident stated the handyman sent by the insurance company would not fix the 'water blown under flashing on a flat roof' due to the storm. So the insurance company suggested SES be called to minimise further damage. She had water dripping from the family room light fitting, so the ceiling would be next to collapse.

I do not know what the volunteer crew did at the tasking, or if the SES Unit accepted the tasking.

Protection of injury and structure.

[uniden]

I would think water entering the house would be more of an emergency than a tree branch fallen on a fence. You see plenty of pages for those jobs or trees on driveways.

In your own time please come down to the station to have a look at the entry and exits to the station so you know how to get in for a fire call - SEAFORD STATION CFS Seaford Info

Any one know what this is about. Just curious.

[RescueHazmat]

Seaford and pager messages.. Like the omega code sometimes..

[Zippy]

lol..

My theory is the secret code means "for those who havent came to a firecall in a while, this is how you do it"  :evil:

Seaford Road is closed between Commercial & Grand Boulevard while they rebuild the road. This closure started during the weekend.

Seaford CFS have had a dirt road put in a few weeks ago so that they can enter & exit the station while the new Seaford Road gutters were built.

This access road might have changed this week.

Ha ha, Morphett Vale get a new truck - you must be joking!!

The 34 is the new Varley built one, it is not entirely finished yet as I believe Varley still need to fix up a couple items but it will be there on Sunday.

We now have a quite a good list of vehicles coming along, still room for more though just let me know what your bringing and we will put you somewhere.
