Unfortunately I needed the same space to brief my crew for taskings (we had some when the storm came thru), debrief them & thankfully not this time but for critical incident debriefs.
Also my admin person needed to do all of the financial paperwork, this waits for no one(as those who have company credit cards know all to well
). It has been agreed by those in charge that this was a mistake and should not have happened.
Further that the issues will be handled formally once the incident is closed to avoid repeat problems.
I fully understand the way your organisation does things (very different to us). But I think you guys would be a bit annoyed if we moved into your brigade, put our stuff everywhere without consultation and forced your guys sit out in the weather after coming back from a fire. As you know we are fairly flexable and try to work thru issues, all it takes is a bit of liaison rather than the bull dozer approach. As I said previously the issues were mainly caused by another department that you guys work with
.
Anyway I think I've said enough on this subject, we will see what comes out off the debrief. By the way if your interested in doing some joint trg next year, give me a shout.
cheers
