Interesting Fire and Emergency Related Paging

[Baxter]

I remember a few year back that the lightening kept us busy in the parks I hope that it does not happen again. Mind you with the page from  R4HQ today about a thunderstorm bring it on as I like some natural air con for change. As  yet no rain or cloud cover to be seen here or in the region

NOPE not every one has/need access to the station.

[Bagyassfirey]

so at what point does someone decide when someone can have the door code???

Interesting that SES were consistently paged out to Task xx and not Inc xx during the early hours of this morning, was this just an individual operator thing?
How many jobs do SES let stack before they default to another agency and will the new agreement "closest most appropriate" allow this to continue?

The database used at SES SCC is setup based on taskings. That is the terminology used for many years.

It is a seperate system from BOMS or CFS databases while we await the integrated SACAD system. Thus it is not being upgraded.

The tasking load is handled by the OIC within the Unit & Region. Extra SES resources (this includes some CFS brigades) were deployed during the weekend to specific areas & SES recce's were done.

What we has call takers, and the priority automatically allocated, is sometimes not the actual priority given by the OIC after recce. Dont believe everything you see on pager messages.

Not every tree down job needs a resource within 10 minutes. In quite a few taskings the crews were awaiting electrical line clearance anyway.

Sometimes the station open note on the pager refers to the group store being open for getting "stuff" from whoever is in charge of handing it out. Not so much a case of actually getting into the station (I have not idea if that is the case with Salisbury but I know that is how it is with some of the other groups)

i think firey9119 indicated that NO not everyone has access to station. personally i think thats lame as lame

No, what is lame is that when there is free access to all, things get stolen, damage gets done and people abuse privileges.

That is the problem, most people who steal stuff don't often
own up to it when asked. Apart from installing expensive cameras etc. It is easier to regulate who comes and goes.

It's how it works in most business prems now days, why should CFS be any different?

Yes it sucks and the bad ones spoil it for everyone but that's life.

[Bagyassfirey]

hmmm yea it sure does suck...our door code is printed in big letters on a pole near our station so we don forget the code  :-D

[chook]

One of my old units had that problem - open access, stuff going "missing".
Some managers were bought in from other units to run things for awhile, one of the first things they did was photograph everything & told everyone that the first time something disappears they would call the police in as a first step.
Funny the stealing stopped! And gear suddenly re-appeared. Then when I took over, got rid of the people who weren't quite up to speed/ or unsuitable for our type of work - never had a problem since! Not sure if the the two are connected, or just an amazing coincidence :wink:
Swipe cards are a good idea - but very expensive to set up initially.
Anyway good luck with it, it's a pity that some low lifes stuff everything up for the decent silent majority.
cheers

NOPE, dont have the database & I would not be allowed to share the specifics. I know some CFS Brigades were paged to taskings because I processed the request to MFS ComCen for the CFS Pagers to be activated when I was in the dispatch area. I was not in the SES SCC the whole weekend so could not/would not provide any statistics.

WTF  :?

not sure how your posting relates to the comment about knowing which Brigades don't give door keys or door codes to their members

Why do you want to know which stations don't issue keys / codes to everyone ?
Some do, some don't. What works for someone might not for someone else...

[Firefrog]

Back to the topic of Interesting paging please........
