Burnside? Surely Belair CFS are a much much closer mutual aid brigade...

you might be surprised at how little time difference the response and arrival might be...

RE port lincoln.

BOMS automated Response data doesnt get updated over night unfortunately

expected it to be consistantly like that until the data gets updated or sacad comes out from hell.

ya i figured that zippy. Maybe Port Lincoln MFS need to Respond Lincoln CFS as soon as they are responded to a Gras fire incident..not wait for region 6 commander to get page for the bombers up and he gets them on the road..Like The mayor of lincoln said its a time bomb just waiting to go off...i know that can be said for numerous places around the state but in this example it hink its time to bite their lips n work 2 getha..luckily it didn eventuate

The system needs fixing now...as NOW is when we are alive, right now. Who cares about 2010, 2011...we might be in nuclear war by then.

Responding Port Lincoln MFS by themselves is just utter filtered...we all know what its like trying to confront a going incident all by ourselves for the first 5-15mins...utter filtered.

Absolute Minimums until FIRST SITREP by Fire service.
2 Brigades > Out of full-time paid staff area...for any Priority 1 job.
1 Group (4 brigades) + Nearest surrounding brigade's > Total Fire ban rural incidents.
1 Brigade > assist other services, animal rescue and tree downs, etc you get the gist.

Not when SACAD comes out. Now.

coming from just another filtered firefighter, which isnt jaff

There is nothing stopping the OIC of the appliances turning out to request more resources BEFORE they arrive. If you're that worried that SAMFS haven't turned out what you want ASK THEM.

Stop whining, start ASKING and taking some responsibility for the jobs YOU turn out to.

I'm getting sick of people like you sitting here bagging the comms guys and girls because of the system that they have to work with.

Is that the same Google maps that tells me that to go from Mt Gambier to Renmark it is a 9 hour trip because I have to go via Adelaide??

Ah, Zippy, retracting that little spit about 1 in 6 Competent SAMFS Adelaide Fire Operators?

If you're going to whinge about people, atleast have the guts to stick to your guns.

Mr numbers. If 1 person has a problem with my spit, i do stick to my guns. If 2 persons have a problem...those guns can go back in the holster. particularly when its someone your on good terms with.

Burnside Pumper HM400 PTO
Belair 34P HE500

Belair would have been at the station at time of call having just chased some dust between Belair and Eden Hills.

Eden Pumper would have probably been just as close as Burnside and Belair would head straight down Old Belair Road, onto Blythwood and then into Belair road with a run of about 3.5 kms. Would have probably beaten a red truck there...

Cheers

if only there was a system similar to MDT's to put your station up for "immediate" response duties...like a K5 and K8 or K9.

JamesGar · « **Reply #1566 on:** January 20, 2009, 02:15:49 PM »

Surely SACAD is going to fix every response issue between all emergency services!

Zippy · « **Reply #1567 on:** January 20, 2009, 02:17:55 PM »

heheheheheh.

but SACAD has no brigade input...so how does SACAD know your in station with a crew ready to go like a Flyer!

JamesGar · « **Reply #1568 on:** January 20, 2009, 02:21:48 PM »

Ah Zippy 'the big picture' will give everyone the right response!!

I think it is also the 'All seeing eye'

Someone always knows better apparently!

From what i heard, SACAD will still have a very defined boundary between CFS & MFS anyway... We'll still be in 'square one', and besides... how can the system be the closest & fastest resource, when they put the maps out for groups to decide upon anyway?

6739264 - type of appliance doesnt come into it... just has to be a mutual aid brigade...

Being able to tag your truck as available for immediate response is useless unless the CAD system tracks individual resources. As you know now, you could have all of your Brigades trucks out, and you will still get paged for another job in your area. Then if it tracks individual resources, that makes the assumption that if there is a truck tagged as 'available' then the Brigade can crew it - something which is certainly not the case in some areas these days.

But, thinking about things for a minute, you would much rather have an Urban Pumper going to an urban fire rather than some slapped together hybrid rural/urban 34 "Pumper", wouldn't you?

Mmmm... shall i commence banging of head against wall? CFS do not build urban trucks, full stop.

Come join me, I've been banging my head against a wall for some time now. Ofcourse the CFS don't build/order decent urban trucks, but they're better than the half arsed attempt, one size fits all, 34P. We'll get there eventually...maybe... when the kickbacks stop.

Now, enough of this, time to find some interesting paging:

I know we have said enough of this

But considering MFS dont pay any attention to the fact that CFS area responding, notice the response for a B risk is still 3 MFS pumps an aerial and DO as well as CFS anyway... it might as well be the closest one or not at all. As that is supposedly the only reason they're going...
