Number of trucks to jobs

[Zippy]

BA relief would actually be a key thing in all this...after all a pumper/24P/34P may have 4 BA sets...but they only have one refill...thats around 1 and a bit hour breathing time...

[filtered]

Realistically, for a standard house fire, 2 or 3 BA crews with an hour breathing time should be ample...

[Zippy]

it all depends...especially the mopping up duration  :wink:

If it takes you that many resources to deal with a single house alight.. dear god, go and do some training and get your skills up.

it all depends...

depends on how much the brigade/s are gonna dik around and draw the job out as much as they can...

For us:

Rural Minimum 2 Brig, Urban 3 Brig (2 of which BA), MVA 2 Brig (RCR 1 Brig per car\truck\bus)

Of corse that is what is responded, if resources can be scaled back after first appliance arrives the stop calls go out.

[Sarge]

not having a go at ANY CFS brigade here but why not respond SAMFS as a dual response into CFS area for more incidents...

Simple to far away nearest MFS is 40kms (Kapunda Retained have trouble with crews themselves) nearest Fulltime MFS 55kms (Gawler) and we have 8 CFS brigades & 3 CFS grps who are closer.

I hope there are "neighbouring-group" response plans too  :-)

Sometimes I wonder :?
