Just following the SOP's
SOP 4 mate.
K99 or persons reported for a c-risk is automatic second alarm.
Thanks! I don't know what these "SOP" things are... I was querying if the S/O on scene was able to/did stop the turning out of an Automatic second alarm. Can you actually fit that many firies and hoses around a shed that small?
how can u say over supplying appliances to a minor incident, were u there? how do you know the shed wasn't 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.
I know it was your first SAMFS job and all, just relax... If, as a rule of thumb, 2 x appliances and some hard work can tackle a house fire, how does that scale for a 5m x 3m shed? No issue if the upgrade is for a given risk, but I'm just interested in the Automatic 2A. If my shed caught fire and a single pump rocked up and couldn't stop it spreading into my house, I would be seriously concerned about the crews competency and would suggest they went back to Drill Squad. It's amazing to see what proactive, gutsy, firefighting can achieve.
sometimes you just need appliances for water and all the reasons that F7 has
Sure, but automatically for a Shed smaller than my bedroom?
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.
Christ, if you need fresh crews and resources for a "Hard work" job that is 15m
2 maybe the boys should be heading into the gym a little more often
thanks TFT and SA FIREY, great to see some ppl with common sense about themselves, cheers
Asking questions of a procedure that appears to not take into account the actual incident is a lack of common sense? Sorry I don't agree with everything you and your agency does.
At least they are not wearing goggles to house fires numbers...maybe that should be suggested to MFS.
According to Mr. Corcoran, SAMFS rural gloves are terrible - can't think what their goggles must be like, if they even have them.
