Thats ALOT of members per brigade to commit to that...

Those are completely unrelated

[pumprescue]

10 people per brigade is a bit much to ask these days, not without affecting normal turnouts, not to mention from a VERY busy group!

[Zippy]

our crew from my brigade, a crew of 4, managed to render the brigade pretty much offline, and this was a for a 11am flooding call.

Looking at how many people probably took a day off at work to assist at two wells alone, asking for that many people from a small selection of brigades is a big ask indeed.  

Some groups in Region 1 got completely missed, where you could just take a command car full of volunteers to man appliances from closer by...meanwhile, i spotted coomandook 34 at two wells...

It's probably worth noting that the page said "up to 10" not "a minimum of 10".  I'm sure brigades didn't feel that each had to supply 10 people...

Looks like fulham call sign but why SAAS Unit Adelaide?

Eastwood maybe?

[boredmatrix]

Generic perhaps?  These are all spare cars that get used anywhere and everywhere

.....mostly staffed by managers and overtime...another knee-jerk reaction to get response times down after realizing that in the last 12 months SAAS has gone from being the best performing service in the country to near on the worst!!

Goes to show that Kevin is not so good at fudging figures as he thought.

Even DR9 got a run today :-P

[disOrderly]

Haha nice call.

But I think it's good to make sure your managers still get some clinical time so that they keep in touch with reality and know what their crews go through as well as keeping their skills up :).

Can one of you comms boffins please tell me that the 2A assignment was cancelled? Or are the MFS taking a leaf out of the CFS book of stupidly over resourcing minor incidents?

[pumprescue]

Just following the SOP's

[Alex]

SOP 4 mate.

K99 or persons reported for a c-risk is automatic second alarm.

[F7]

how can u say over supplying appliances to a minor incident, were u there? how do you know the shed wasnt full of gas bottles of jerry cans full of fuel, how do u know the sehd wasnt attached to a house? maybe MFS should listen to you and under supply these so called minor incidents then when your shed catches fire and a single pump turns up but cant handle it you loose the shed and your house, use a bit of common sense.

[tft]

sometimes you just need appliances for water and all the reasons that F7 has

[SA Firey]

Nothing wrong with upgrading and also two reasons for it are A) The crews are in PBI, and at a going job that's hard work, and B)fresh resources to give the crews a break and also share the workload around the job makes sense to me.

We've said it before and we will say it again, better to have resources responding than to wait till it hits the fan, and a STOP CALL never hurt anyone.

[F7]

thanks TFT and SA FIREY, great to see some ppl with common sense about themselves, cheers

[pumprescue]

At least they are not wearing goggles to house fires numbers...maybe that should be suggested to MFS.
