oh dear....

well that might teach people to stop fiddling with responses, and playing games.

[Zippy]

i was about to say the same thing....dear oh dear

SPILL ONLY CORNER OF SYDNEY NO PERSON TRAPPED CALL FROM POLICE

2 ENTRAPMENTS

clearly very opposite responses, while its concerning that its a call from police.

[CFS_Firey]

Shouldn't that have also been an automatic 2 rescue brigade response?

note, it may have also been the result of a secondary accident...

[Pipster]

It says "call from Police" - which doesn't necessarily mean that police are on scene - it may be that someone called the police abut the crash, and the police took that info & passed it on to the fire service.....

This is one of these jobs that show why a rescue brigade should be dispatched to all reports of road crashes, regardless of info saying "no persons trapped" - which I thought was meant to be the protocol..... ?

[mack]

mmmm....

looks like unfortunately ya cant trust anyone regardless of where the call is from.. ;)

anyway, this is why the RCRD states that fire AND RESCUE must be sent to all prangs outside of metro area. one has to wonder why the original page for a VA did not have rescue on it.... :|

CFSFirey - shud have been local fire + 1st rescue? listening to the scanner, believe single accident only...?

[sesroadcrashrescue]

2 rescue crews for 2 persons traped in they are in different cars otehr wise you have too many people working on the one car kinda hard to have 2 rescue crews and a handfull of ambos plus a few occupents of the car

I guess closest resource doesn't count for much. :|

[Pipster]

Interesting radio chat a few minutes before the last message - Currency Creek Captain came up on air, and requested that Adelaide Fire Respond Currency Creek, to the scene (which he gave location details) for traffic control only, and stressed at least twice, that the page include "Priority 2" ...the message came out a bit different..

However, having said that, I am not aware of what other radio (or phone) messages might have come through - so other services on scene might have requested the assistance, at about the same time...however, if not, you have to question the content of the paged message...

Have a slight issue with it being possibly a VA with the pager No 4962 coming up with the ambulance but can't confirm that it could be anything???

But Currency creek should have been responded initially possibly with Goolwa as we have sufficient lighting, and i highly doubt that the ses would have got there before the chopper would have as they were flying in the area within 20 mins of the SES's pagers dropping. :|

Unfortunatly down here quite a few of the paramedics at Victor Harbour see the SES as the be all and end all, and respond them to everything even if there's a closer resource than them.

after they arrived and confirmed no persons trapped... my point was that the exact same situation arose (report of spill only) and yet MFS responded one fo there appliance... (which i agree they should do, was pointing out the inconsistency)

three differant SAAS callsigns... but all went to the same pager? or pager group...

why does that make it a VA?

It has nothing to do with the Paramedics. - They will notify SAAS Comms of the need for either Fire service or Police, SAAS Comms will call either Police and Adelaide Fire, and the response goes from their.

[Alan (Big Al)]

Actually if the local crews ask for a particular service they normally get it. Seen it happen lots.

As for that pager id No. it always comes up for MVA's etc but also for similar things on private land (person off motorbike etc).
But it still could have been anything.

[RescueHazmat]

Yes, could have indeed been anything meeting the "Failed Secondary Survey" critera.  From unc. Collapses to chest pain cases.. The list is almost endless.

Even if the Crews at the scene ask for Rescue or SES as Rescue, it would be up to adelaide fire to respond the service appropriate to the response plans/guidelines.

[CFS_Firey]

I thought an unconscious collapse would be Failed Primary?

[RescueHazmat]

It depends.. - They could be unconcious but have an open airway, be breathing fine, have a strong pulse, responding to physical touch however seem to be in an unc. state or some form of LOC. (Almost fits everyone that collapses from being rather drunk doesn't it..  :-P)

However an unconcious collapse, Non breathing, or impeded airway/ no pulse or under resus would be a failed Primary. - Cat1.

[CFS_Firey]

Ok, thanks :)

[Zippy]

comm's operator: is the person responsive?
caller:no
(comm's operator thinks Cat 1 unresponsive...ehh then randomly asks)
comm's operator: ehh..smell his/her breath for me
caller does so...just as the person awakens to chuck   :wink:
comm's operator: have a good day

sorry still not quite sure what you mean... this number 1924962 is the pager capcode.
doesnt have anythign to do with what the message is, it is purely the adress the message has been sent to. whether this is a group that all higher category responses go to or what i dont know... but i cant see how it tells anyone what kind of job it is...

[mack]

for example...

this capcode just came up for a grassfire response - 1908970

but next time it comes up, doenst mean its another grassfire, just means that someone has paged happy valleys alarm adress....
