Hey all,

heard to day (and was advised not to post video of cfs calls (photos turned into videos) on you tube as someone has done so and has got in the poop with the cfs

first - does anyone one know anything about this

and second
what do you all think?

my way of thinking is if they are my photos that i took then i can do what i feel fit, am i wrong in thinginig this??

and as they are my photo then there is no copyright.

I would say just be careful with what you post.

Just like you would (should) be with anything on the internet maily
Try and not make identities obvious
but these should really be done out of common courtesy

But in reality i can't see a problem with it considering our news crews rock up and film whatever and then blast it all round the state.

Phil,have a read of SOP 12.2 in the COSO's that will tell you all you need to know

I could have sworn that the SOP 12.2 would be in the SOP's Book.

that sucks.

On the other hand, SOPs are really just guidelines...

Cameron Yelland · « **Reply #7 on:** May 30, 2008, 05:45:12 AM »

yeah dont stress about them....i know people who break them all the time and they dont seem to have any trouble.

Firey9119 · « **Reply #8 on:** May 30, 2008, 07:35:37 AM »

i know they are just guideline but a senior has warned me not to post on you tube as he had heared that a member down south has done so and ended up in hot water over it.

bittenyakka · « **Reply #9 on:** May 30, 2008, 10:09:12 AM »

Well since knowone actauly knows what the "member down south" actauly posted or did and how much trouble they got in from whome.
How about someone put soem video on youtube then tell us all what happened

rescue5271 · « **Reply #10 on:** May 30, 2008, 02:45:36 PM »

And it was not me,it was someone closer to region one.....Hey you can post it on the net but dont go posting items that will upset others,Funny but not so long ago CFS wanted to use photo's that i took of a fire for recruitment....So unless CFS are going to have their own people out there who is going to take the photo's?

OMGWTF · « **Reply #11 on:** May 30, 2008, 06:20:58 PM »

If you read the paperwork, you can post most pictures/videos... with written approval from the cheif.

Be that easy or hard to do.... 'dems da rules.

bittenyakka · « **Reply #12 on:** May 30, 2008, 06:49:54 PM »

SO now the CO's job description needs to include Vetting potential youtube videos

Cameron Yelland · « **Reply #13 on:** May 30, 2008, 08:40:55 PM »

i guess there will not be an issue just as long as the content is suitable.

then again how do they control it? If a member of the public took the photos and posted them would they still be subject to the SOPs?

bittenyakka · « **Reply #14 on:** May 30, 2008, 10:57:20 PM »

As i understand it you are only subject to sop's if you are acting as part of the CFS. Hence a member of the public wouldn't be and you wouldn't be if you wern't in CFS uniform.

although I don't have a copy i would guess the SOPs says something on this

here we go again.....

there's no need to post all your "heroic" fire video's on youtube.....the W A N K factor is taken care of by the yanks and their 100 000 vid's of "mississippi 457 responding to a shout"

There has also been a problem with CFS members showing up at call outs(not in there area) taking photo's and getting in the way,some members have also taken it too far buy going out and buying tabards with CFS on it saying they are a CFS photograph when in fact they are members of the cfs just taking photo's...... As I undertsand it the only one's with the Tabards are those who are in the cfs promo unit,sure Pip will help me out there....

totaly agree alot of people here and on other forms take the photos when in the right place and the right time, people that go out of there way to get these photos should get a job in the media!!

I can't see much of a problem with taking photos or video and posting them on the net, as long as people are smart about it.

Making sure that all persons involved have correct PPE and are doing the right thing in accordance to SOP's would have to be the basics. Then perhaps make sure that peoples names/faces aren't visible unless they are happy to have them sitting around on the 'net.

Some of the CFS videos getting around YouTube are good, varied and different, but if I see another video of Seaford CFS turning out, I'll hang myself. Variety is the spice of life, Jono!

Some how i dont think you will see any more of the Seaford turn outs....I am sure they are down south!!!!!!!

from what i have heared i think you guys are on the right track there and some thing to do with helmet cam!!

RescueHazmat · « **Reply #22 on:** June 01, 2008, 06:42:45 PM »

Ahh. The helmet cam.. Could see that was going to be a winner !

6739264 · « **Reply #23 on:** June 03, 2008, 01:23:45 AM »

Great tools when used in the right context. If only the Seafood boys had kept that footage private, and part of a brigade collection for training...

Firefrog · « **Reply #24 on:** June 03, 2008, 10:23:23 AM »

I would think a volunteer service would welcome free marketing, especially a medium as powerful as the net and You tube.

If a volunteer fire service is going to be attractive to Younger people perhaps more you tube videos is needed.

Just a thought.....
