well.....i guess they only have themselves to blame if the response was incorrect.

Maybe they had booked offline for the duration of their training - so they handed their response roles to CFS for that particular time - most CFS Brigades do that at some stage if u have a specific drill underway.

No big deal really - or are u suggesting it is???

....Had a look up at the Mt Osmond hills face while driving home from work yesterday, the grass land looks like its 85-100% cured.....

This is the first CFS SCC activation I have seen for this fire season:

11:43:24 11-11-08 CFS: STATE LEVEL OF PREPAREDNESS RED - SCC PARTIAL ACTIVATION. INTEL COORD, MLO, HOTLINE, SCC COORD & SARC REQUIRED TO ATTEND SCC - DSC EDEN < 11/11/2008 11:43:13 PM CFS HQ Info

CFS website from CRIIMSON details 5 going fire incidents in SA. Some in the Adelaide Hills......

They are "Going" till its manually updated lol....so they arent necessarily "Going".

2 Regions are just at LOP-RED, causing STATE > Red.

Thanks, so accuracy is dependant on SITREPS being timely & accurate from the field.

the information on the website is pretty much 100% incorrect to what may be happening...the website status may say "going"...and may only change to completed 10 hours after its actually completed. Its CFS SHQ who update it, only through the informtation that comes via Fire Reports or when ever the State Air Desk is operational, who essentially deals with processing these reports....etc.

The Data on the CFS website is reproduced off of CRIIMSON which is the most up to date information contrary to Zippy's beliefs. For day to day incidents they will remain going for 2 hours after the last entry in CRIIMSON.
For most incidents the only information in CRIIMSON is the initial response and acknowledements depending on how enthusiastic the operator is. The incident summary on the website is for public information. It is not intended on being a resource tracking tool for over-enthusiastic,information craving volunteers...

Thanks for the compliment

But I am a computer nerd that loves to understand how the data moves through a system & thus accuracy of the presented public information, then an over-enthusiastic volunteer..

.. and I have been in emergency services long enough to know about 'resource tracking' & how hard that is. CRIIMSON contains some information (last time I accessed the Intranet website was 12 months plus ago) but never everything you need.

It will be interesting to see how the other agencies handle this facility when their new websites are launched.

No big deal really - or are u suggesting it is???

how could they only have themselves to blame? seems like a quote without much to back it up. MFS train weekly, so dont tend to book themselves off because of a special event, e.g. training...

if you check out: MFS: *CFSRES INC080 10/11/08 21:52,RESPOND RUBBISH FIRE,DRIDAN AV,RENMARK MAP 0 0 0 TG193,LADY THROWING PETROL ON FIRE. CLOSE TO H,OUSE AND TREES. FROM LOCAL POLICE,SAIR55 REN618 MFS Renmark Response

reckon you will notice that they didnt book off for training.

I think the 'have themselves to blame', refers to the fact that MFS would have dispatched them, so you would think they would get it right?.. (Not suggesting it wasn't right, one can only assume there was a reason the response was different to the norm)..

The whole response to the Speedway job wasn't by the book, 1) that part of the Sturt hwy is Renmark's area both MFS & SES, 2) page asked for lighting & according to people from my old unit they assumed that Renmark was on scene already & they were just to provide lighting - very surprised when they arrived and found out they were the rescue crew.
Footy my understanding is that it would not have mattered how quick, fire cover and rescue arrived on seen, the end result would have been the same (if you get my meaning).
As been said before, its not a perfect world!

just noticed that none of the SAAS pages are on the usual GRN paging site, from about 1800 last night, any clues nyone...nothing sinister I hope
