Stirling HAZMAT
« on: April 10, 2013, 10:40:06 PM »
I hear that Stirling CFS's HAZMAT capability is in the process of being transferred to Bridgewater Brigade. At first I assumed that Stirling must have been relinquishing this willingly (as a part of SFEC reviews). However, I now hear that Stirling have not been consulted about the transfer and are not very happy (understandably).

Any further details?

IS there a need for HAZMAT at Stirling or Bridgewater??

With Oakbank, Burnside reasonably close by, MFS slightly further out than Burnside, Eden Hills further over, and  Strathalbyn 40k away, surely that is plenty of cover for incidents within that area?

Things are a bit different in the highly populated part of the hills where you have a number of brigades within 3-4km of each other.  Up here, 40km is a long way away, and we have an expectation that backup and resources are nearby. If you based your assessments on the same metrics as the rest of the the state, you could probably close down a few brigades, and there would certainly be no justification for urban appliances, given how close the city is...

However, I now hear that Stirling have not been consulted about the transfer and are not very happy (understandably).

Correct.
The move has been put on hold for now though.
