16:49:37 03-08-11 ECHUNGA INFO: WARNING BOMB SQUAD DESTROYING NITROGLYCERINE IN THE NEXT HALF HOUR AT THE POLICE RESERVE, SIGNED CAPTAIN. 0415135291.

probably the same package

[disOrderly]

Interesting. Why did they take it there? Is there a special reason? And how would they have transported it safely?

Does anyone know the circumstances around it's discovery and why it was at the hospital?

[Pipster]

The Manager of some part of the hospital, (can't remember which bit) stated there was an audit done of the contents of fridges in Pharmacy, and the Nitroglycerin was discovered... likely to have been there for many years, as it was used extensively in pharmacy 30 or so years ago.

I am guessing the nitroglycerin was put into the SAPol explosion containment vessel, and driven to Echunga, where it could easily be destroyed, without destroying anything else.....

Interesting! It's funny how these things turn up, like the WW2 shell found in an old bathroom there a couple years ago.

I suppose they would have made GTN in the hospital back then. Nitroglycerine becomes more unstable over time, so I'm not surprised everyone was a bit concerned!

Would have been good to see it go off!

What else are they going to find when the hospital moves ????

[disOrderly]

What else are they going to find when the hospital moves ????

Lord knows?! Probably a whole bunch of catacombs that we don't already know about. Maybe some crypts and some prehistoric remains of a previously unknown species of dinosaur.

But it should be interesting and I'd love to see what else is there. When I was in the catacombs, I found a phone book from 1984!

Probably in relation to the trial of the new pager acknowledgment procedure, a few CFS, SES and retained MFS stations are trialing it starting on Monday (15th). Basically acknowledging the page with link paging, who will then page Adelaide Fire with the name of the brigade and the person that called. A message then pops up on their screen with the details.

Will mean that many more operators are able to take the calls than currently exists in Adelaide Fire, one of the problems on a big day (and sometimes not even a big day) is that you can't through to acknowledge.

Like this:

I noticed several of these errors tonight, could cause major issues of thinking 1 service has called in and they never turnout.

[SA Firey]

SA FIRE & RESCUE, Could this be the new name for us as one fire service?

Time will tell I suppose.

[Zippy]

first post in a while, and its worth it  *praying for one Fire & Rescue service*  All services under one name: SAFECOM/MFS/CFS/SES.
