Light group are holding a gropu field day on the 13th of September based out of roseworthy station I know the SES has been asked to assist by doing a rescue from under the silos in roseworhty.
What would you as firefighters like to see us do?
?
Just a suggestion, have a look in the Frontline magazine (edition before last). Strathalbyn ran some active & static displays at a local fair. They obtained assistance from Mt Barker SES, local VSO & the SASESVA.
Strathalbyn SES obtained a flatbed truck and placed the larkin frame on the back of the flatbed. They had enough height to demonstrate a vertical stretcher rescue from the larkin frame on the truck to the ground at the back of the truck.
Then people can see & touch the frame being moved, knots used, harnesses, etc. In a country area it would be all people available to be on the hauling crew, so an advantage for them to see the technique.
They also did a search line that included how to prevent damage to a crime scene. Again relevant because CFS crew could be called to assist in a land search.
At one of the meetings they talked about running a competition with the big rope slingshot. See how far people shot a weighted line, but I am not sure if they did this.
Vehicles, equipment, & cutters into a car door were the static display. Display boards, instant marquee, PR van (now sold so not available) & Public Address system from SASESVA were used.
Anyway, if your from Kapunda SES you could make a mint for charging for horse & quad bike rides.... (just joking to all OHS&W staff)
