CRNG: REMINDER , RADIO TESTING COMMENCING AT 1930HRS TONIGHT ,JABUK IT WOULD BE GOOD TO HEAR FROM YOU, FROM COONALPYN COMMS Coorong Group Info


Looks like Jabuk arn't regulars on the radio training...  :wink:

[Alan J]

Alan, brigades & trucks are never put 'on jobs' as such. If we get a call we send it out to the brigade whos area it is, regardless of whether they are already on a job, its then there responsibility to organise attendance.

We can however take brigades out of the system, eg if a single appliance station is getting the truck serviced...

So in other words, resources aren't really being "tracked" on turn-outs.
Not actively, anyway.  The info isn't being used in Wakefield St to amend
responses to subsequent turn-outs.

Each Group/Brigade must do its own real-world resource tracking.

Therefore the only "benefit" of reporting in to Ad-Fire appliance-by-appliance
is a tape recording of the response message, versus the time-stamped call
record in the GRN for all other transmissions.

Therefore Sturt's process of the Group Duty Officer taking ownership of the
call and managing it from 1st page, is merely actively working ahead of an
otherwise passive system, designed for brigades which don't have active Group
support & participation.

Therefore it doesn't matter a tinker's cuss whether a group base responds
its own resources or goes through Adelaide Fire.  Nobody outside the group
(or brigade) officially knows or even cares about the resources (ex-CFS Ad-Fire
people excepted!!).

Thanks & cheers.

Not quite... I probly didn't word my previous post properly. Resources are 'tracked' as far as ensuring they ack/mobile either on radio or phone and this time is kept.

However it does not influence further responses for the same zones.

While Adelaide Fire may or may not track resources, and I'll leave that comment up to people like Alex who work there, If units book mobile via Adelaide fire at least those managing incidents can see on CRIIMSON what is acknowledged and mobile rather than guessing what has responded. With more and more groups being trained in CRIIMSON it would be good for everyone to use the same system so we can all see what's going on and if things escalate we have good information to work with rather than guess work.

1906658 15:44:52 01-03-10 MOUNT GAMBIER SES FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE INTERESTED COME AND TEST DRIVE THE NEW VEHICLE TONIGHT AND TOMORROW NIGHT SES Mt Gambier Response

I seen this truck this morning driving around Mount Gambier  :-o

[Andrew K]

was that the new transit that they are looking at issuing?

[Robert-Robert34]

Yup it was the new ford transit Andrew alot smaller style vehicle than the trucks they have

[Andrew K]

suposedly its supposed to replace the light rescues but i'm hearing rumours now that a number of units with the older trucks will get them as well in place of a truck which will be a pain as we have troule fitting the gear we need on the trucks let alone on that thing

19:55:50 05-03-10 STURT INFO: BLACKWOOD STATION SIREN WILL BE TESTED SHORTLY AT THE REQUEST OF THE BRIGADE. TESTING OF OTHER SIRENS NOT OCCURRING DUE TO NOISE COMPLAINTS. GCO CFS Sturt Group Info

These are the people that say they weren't given any warnings when the BIG ONE hits :?

[Alex]

Jeff, there also the people that make a dozen panicked phone calls to the bushfire hotline every time someone 'tests' a siren or sets it off for a tree down or VA.

In all seriousness, is there actually any need to test it weekly?

[Darren]

Well if its anything like our siren it needs testing every week as it seizes up with lack of use, mainly due to only being used for grass fires these days.

Maybe a media campaign saying on friday night at this time might help, but you will never win.

[Alan J]

G'day Darren

Do you think front page plus a two page spread in the Messenger, trumpeting
victory over an uncaring CFS for Good Of The People would count as media coverage??

What about quotes from group stating that they would be tested each Friday
night at 7:30pm ?

Let's face it - there are people who choose ignorance & cherish it as a
badge of pride.

[Darren]

Well there you go, can't help ignorant people.
