Interesting Fire and Emergency Related Paging

mattb · January 27, 2009, 01:02:54 PM

I thought I heard something about a couple of alarm concentrators being down at some of the northern stations, hence the need to keep someone there to monitor the local alarm interface and alert Comm's to any activations.

I believe normally in that case one firefighter is re-called to sit in the station and monitor, until then the truck either goes offline so that the crew can stay there or, as may have happened in this case another truck is responded to take over baby sitting duties.

The priority one run for 202 from the city to station 42 the other night for COQ was a different story, only truck south of the city was 439 sitting at Christies I think. Then 202 got responded to the job and Eden Hills were responded COQ to the Hill.

All good fun.

I think we might have a slight idea what we're doing... :wink:

Scanner jockeys can stand down.... Ta.

Edit; i might just add to this... since you cant see MDT messages, perhaps you have no idea what's going on in the big picture?

Good work! Its about time the comms guys in Adelaide Fire tell all the scanner jockeys to shut the filtered up!!! I would think they would be quite sick of all of the second guessing of their (or people above them's) decisions.
CRD and Communications is their job, so let them do it, do you hear them bitching at you because you didn't use perfect search, or entry techniques, most probably not.
The only reason that 90% of the people on here can bitch about them is because half of the "story" is published on the internet. Remember, GRN paging is only a very small section of communications used.

Play nice as all Brigades can have crewing troubles

There maybe no BIM for the Gerald Community as that part of the state can have large fire like the bookmark fires a few years ago.

Mr TEDDY I think you have no idea of Ops control.... put some facts in the posting rather than bashing something without knowledge....yes I am from a different ESO so I can not explain the specifics, but I have volunteered at CFS SCC a few years ago...

Bajdas, im also a bit mystified by this page, and NO I,ve never worked in CFS SCC but I am a vollie with CFS, best of all I can read OMG,s and if the page is correct it kinda goes against the OMG,s for SLOP RED, just so you know!

Zippy · January 28, 2009, 08:46:10 PM

dont worry the SOSB is in charge ;) lol

Baj, I have an excellent idea of Ops control,. Its a simple concept really, SCC is there to provide support, coordination, CONTROL of assets and decision making prowess when the scheiße hits the fan. If going to Red during the day is good enough for full or partial activation....why does that need cease when it gets dark - especially tonight if u see that u have lighning strikes everywhere north, you have one Group on active Standby, and fires on the East Coast.

All I am saying is.....if it's convenient to shut the door when the sun goes down rather than pay overtime, or recruit sufficient staff to run it 24/7 WHEN the parameters require it, then u have to question why u need it at anytime.

Interesting you admit to being from a different ESO, and u can't explain the specifics.....but u hammer me for having no idea or knowledge.

Zippy, interestingly, not long after the page I referenced, the SOSB closed down also, along with the Bushfire Hotline. Lets hope the recorded message has a list of things that might help overnight. Perhaps we could make that solar powered and save some more money.

Zippy · January 28, 2009, 09:13:25 PM

nah...Bushfire hotline goes through to Adelaide fire...hence why its been shoved over to SOSB once again now.
