MYTH's & FACT's
« on: November 30, 2009, 07:30:40 AM »
This is a new thread spawned from the Mt Barker 3rd Alarm Commercial fire.  Along the lines of Amusing pager messages where we can put random thoughts here and present the truth with it.

And here we start.

Myth: CFS wont ever have a fire similar to the Kilburn Fire in September 2009. In its response area, because we are a rural fire service.   "We only ever see those guys at strike teams (rural jobs)!"

Fact: We will undoubtedly eventually face a 4th or higher alarm response structural fire some day. We should be training for it, we should be Structure Fire Ready...not just bushfire ready...

Fact.  It has already happened.  Think Primo, Port Wakefield.

Fact: Some brigades cannot get basic procedures correct, let alone more complex procedures, just listen to Adelaide Fire having to deal with craap radio procedures from bozo's that should know better!     FAAARK ME and thats even before they leave the station!

Yeah, but thats region 2.... There regional staff actually have grasped the idea of CFS to CFS Change of Quarters, now that says something good about them.

MYTH: Don't worry about leaving space for Aerial Appliances at your factories and large shopping complex fires.

If 441 could be the 3rd appliance on scene, that'd make 203 or 205 5th appliance on scene ;)
