joint rescue comp

[rescue5271]

How many RCR brigades are going into this comp to be help at wayville show ground in March.Its a joint ses/cfs/mfs? we are are trying to get a crew together so this may be fun?

They are great to watch!! We've only participated once; a small competition at Coonalpyn that only had Stirling, Coonalpyn, Blackwood and Tailem Bend. It's a really good training exercise but it may be a bit imitimidating for crews new to the comps process. The experienced comps crews know all things the judges are scoring on (and have competed at national level) But I'm sure you'll be provided with all the appropriate documentation. There's a bit more to it all than competent rescue evolutions   I'd be really keen to do something like that on a Regional level but I guess they're pretty resource intensive. Good luck, I really hope Naracoorte get in a nomination and I am sure will get a lot out of the experience.

I think that the wining teams from all 3 services will go to New Zeland in October

A team will be going to NZ at least........
Discount rates will be available to any member wanting to go have a look at the comps, just need to show CFS ID.......

Should be a great weekend

Well we have had to pull out of the comp due to a team member's work with harvest in the vine's so next year is looking good Hope all that are going will have a good time and enjoy the day's in the sun

i hope you have informed the organisers of the competition of your withdrawal. if you havent and then dont rock up, there will be hell to pay, and cyhances are your brigade will get fined the costs of un-used accomadation and meals.

Some awesome work done by all teams!!  Particularly the Riverland MFS - Who did a fantastic cutout in a very difficult situation!!




(Please correct the above if they are incorect... Can't quite remember if the last 2 are correct)

[Good times]

More impressive for the Riverland boys is the fact they are not rescue!!
SES do all rescue in the riverland.

Any chance of getting a few pics posted..... was 4wd over near Ceduna and missed out.... Were there many new idea's being tried out this year??

Enfield SES have some pics on their website. http://enfieldses.cjb.net/photos/

In the pics on the Enfield SES site, one of them shows an SES member with " MEDIC " on her helmet...  Are they trained Paramedics in the SES ranks... Or are they allowed to put that on there with Sen. First Aid qualifications...??

Just curious... In case I come across one of these members with MEDIC on the helmet on a job, I will be aware of what degree of First Aid training they have....

(I would doubt it would be only Sen. First Aid... as then Every second person would have the word MEDIC spralled across there helmet)!

[Mike]

I think you'll find its there for competition purposes only (as there is a dedicated medic put into the vehicle). SES generally dont have any markings on their helmets (aside from names and the occasional "RESCUE" sticker.

You shouldnt be seeing anything like that in the field....
