Interesting Fire and Emergency Related Paging

[SA Firey]

When I was driving past the airport on my way to work at 1455, two SAAS paramedic vehicles (one with RESCUE on the side) were heading towards Tapleys Hill Rd. Under lights/sirens. I assume they were heading towards the chopper.

No pager message about CFS / SES / MFS to set up a LZ.. (not saying it couldnt have been arranged / communicated via other means..???)

Retrieval team was cancelled before takeoff.

just a query,  1x marked police 2x Star Group 4WD and 1x SAAS Rescue 4WD heaading down the freeway away from adelaide under lights and sirens???

Any one know why?

Issues with some GRN towers in riverland areas. Concentrators at those stations auto-page for jobs. So if the paging is unreliable the concentrators need to be monitored to avoid missing alarms.

19:34:21 29-01-11 Due to severe fire danger and extreme heat warning North Region LoP is at Yellow. Check email for Ops Plan. NRDO - SES North Region

Just having a look at the paging site and came across this message. Nothing earth shattering about it other than it was repeated 60 times. Surely they can send out a general info message to everyone who needs to know instead of sending the same message individually?

I'm only making an assumption here, but perhaps that pager group is set up like brigades. Send one message to the response number of a CFS brigade and it automatically copies to the group officers paging group.
The SES in this case might have it set up like that rather than the CFS regional numbers etc. which just send it to everyone in that region in the one paging group.

I was abit puzzled about that too baggyass if you at look yesterdays readings  at 14:59 pm Mount Gambier reached 40 degrees with a dew point of -2.0 and the FDI of 75.8 which is extreme :-o considering we were only meant to get to 37

An unusual one. Was used to transport additional drinking water to the crews. According to the BOM site, temp was still 34-35deg at the time of call... warm enough for ya.

Thought this would be sensible given the CFS regions are resource tracking, logistics, etc. I would suggest that an individual fire may not be extreme to control, but multiple incidents could stretch resources.

I learn't 2 weeks ago the value of a well planned & deployed ICC. If IMT are behind because they have not been activated quickly or pre-deployed, then it can cause all sorts of issues at the incident.

yet again shows the stupidity of having fire ban determination based on a single non precise dreamed up figure
