Lets take a look at Waikerie's actual resources, as right now, its waikerie Pumper and Blanchetown 34 Mobile to the incident.
WaikeriePUMP = 2000L Water. 4 BA.
Waikerie19 = Rescue/Hazmat/BA/Lighting/etc. No Water.
Waikerie24 = 2000L Water.
Waikerie14 = 450L Water.
From that assessment, all that Waikerie19 can offer to a Vehicle fire is bums on seats + extra BA. No additional water.
Dependant on the onsite water reticulation and the scale of the fire...would it be better to send Waikerie 24 as the backup appliance to a vehicle fire instead of the 19.
Again a case of questionable input of data.
There i think needs to be a clear way of seeing which appliance carries only water, or carrys water AND specialist equipment, or only specialist equipment.
19 CFS Rescue Vehicle (Standalone Rescue)
28 CFS Hazmat Vehicle (Standalone Hazmat)
42 BWC 4000L Plus
Everything else should be (or include the above 3 in plain english terms):
Pumper
Pumper-Tanker (34P, 24P)
Tanker (34, 24)
Light Tanker (14, QRV)
E.g Strathalbyn Pumper-Tanker 1, Pumper-Tanker 2, Light Tanker
An ideal situation would be to see SACAD with 95-100% reasonable data, so that minimal rework will ever have to be done on a very shitty day.
