Interesting Fire and Emergency Related Paging

[chook]

Thanks BM
Cheers

[CFS_Firey]

This may have been asked before- but what trips the " SAAS Road Crash Research" page?

it's an automatically generated page if the VA box is tagged -it's part of the Adelaide Uni road crash research unit

Also, the VA box might be ticked for incidents that involve vehicles, but aren't necessarily an MVA, (Like person hit by car, fallen off bike on a road etc), so Fire/Rescue might need to be responded.

[boredmatrix]

or my favourite.....

Oldie falls out of gopher....

....uninjured, but it tags out at category 2 for an MVA!

[pumprescue]

Yeah for some reason anything with wheels is put in as an MVA, pushbike, Gopher, skateboard.

[Pipster]

As long as it occurs on a road...the page doesn't seem to appear when there is, say a motorbike crash in a paddock, on private property......

And the Road Accident Research people look at crashes involving vehicles (eg cars, trucks, motorbikes, push bike riders) as well as pedestrians (eg those walking around as well and "gopher" type pedestrians. - Under legislation, gophers are defined as pedestrians...)

Sounds a bit exciting...

[calspec]

I bet for at least three people it aint too exciting.  I hope no one was badly hurt.

And what part of being pinned to a wall by a bus would you find boring and dull?

16-08-08 OH181 Cat7 Panalatinga Rd, Woodcroft 177 D12 SAAS Road Crash Research

Havent seen a cat 7 before

[car31]

Cat 7 is standby at location, believe the incident is a double fatality.

All of it, if your the poor victim!

Frightening, Painful - Yes, but no, not exciting.  As a Firefighter I'm sure it would get my adrenalin pumping, as I am sure it would have for those who were trapped, but I still wouldn't call it exciting.

Report in the Sunday Mail says three people hospitalised after being knocked off a ledge when the bus hit them after rolling down the hill.  Fortunately all escaped with only minor injuries.  "It is beleived a handbrake problem on the bus may have been the cause of the accident"

16-08-08 OH181 Cat7 Panalatinga Rd, Woodcroft 177 D12 SAAS Road Crash Research

Havent seen a cat 7 before

Cat 7 is used to log vehicle movements.

[Footy]

Cat 7 is standby at location, believe the incident is a double fatality.

Panalatinga is starting to tally up a few fatalities. And from what I have seen, the only strategy that has been put in place is to put red light/speed cameras on the corner of Pimpala Road.

The double fatality was 500m up the road from where another fatality was only a few months ago. I know that there are roads everywhere that are hot spots for this sort of thing, but Panalatinga to my knowledge (i grew up in that area) has only recently become an area of concern (well should be).

Im not sure if you can fill me in mattb about any apparent rise in accidents,  being from that area,

but I really hope that the responsible authorities really take a good look before it gets out of hand.

not necessarily a interesting job...seems to be a good thing i believe tho,  provides an incident type when there isnt a preset one.

And Also better location detail.

[6739264]

I still do not see the difference between pages that have been sent previously. MOST "Respond To" pages have the incident details attached to the message. The same with location detail, haven't you had calls to x streets and intersections and street corners before?

[pumprescue]

I don't know why people crash on panalatinga rd, its the easiest flamin road to dive on, nice and wide and smooth. I guess its just there time.

[029]

thant job at tanunda was nothing much well from an emergency services side 3 people were traped between a wall and a bus for a short time BV84  BV81 and G81 all dispatched cat 2 but all in all quite basic

16-08-08 OH181 Cat7 Panalatinga Rd, Woodcroft 177 D12 SAAS Road Crash Research

Havent seen a cat 7 before

Cat 7 is standby at location, believe the incident is a double fatality

Confirming yes it was a double fatality and a 8 year old was left orphaned

It was a Cat 7 because one of the ambulances was left at the scene due to crews rushing the child casualty to FMC.Another crew was dispatched to collect it and as the road was closed it was'nt a hazard.

[rescue5271]

About time you city firefighters drove the second ambulance back to the SAAS base it came from or to a more secure place till the crew can pick it up...Works well done here....

[mattb]

The double fatality was 500m up the road from where another fatality was only a few months ago. I know that there are roads everywhere that are hot spots for this sort of thing, but Panalatinga to my knowledge (i grew up in that area) has only recently become an area of concern (well should be).

It's not the road that is is the issue, as pumprescue said the road is in very good condition with lots of room and a good surface. In the incident a couple of months ago and last nights job it was just a case of the driver making a very bad decision.

Unfortunately the job last night resulted in the young child loosing both parents and maybe an uncle, then again we could easily have had five dead given the impact and the circumstances, not to mention the peanut that tried to kill us on the way to the job - but that's another story.

[rescue5271]

A Sad time for all and it just shows you its not the fault of the road but those at the wheel....

Obviously not last nights, but was the bad decision a few months ago someone trying to get "airborne" heading on pimpala across panalatinga and finding a tree?
I believe that is what happened a few years ago also.

Numbers, i suppose its the differance between the incident type being at the start of the message rather than somewhere hidden in the details, And with the location, its putting the exact location all in one part of the message rather than split up again.
