conducting burn off's for people (?)

that would be entered on an "other activity form" P F

as was stated good intent call, is purely a false alarm that was called inwith "good intentions..."

If you look at some of the figures some brigades go to more tree downs than anyting else,may be they could become tree rescue brigade's

But really how many brigade's do you send to a tree down?? I have looked over the years at some figure's and have seen up to 4 brigade's go to tree downs as it is on there brigade boundary, What a waste of time and mann power if one or two brigade's are going is there any need to send two more just because its on the boundary?

maybe the brigades arent able to handle it by themselves...

you see the same thing everywhere for all sorts of jobs.

rescue5271 · « **Reply #129 on:** June 20, 2006, 07:54:23 AM »

or they just want to get there call numbers up,more calls more money....

ahh dear...
im not quite sure what you mean, as its early and ive had a long night so ill cover both bases;
as a member from a brigade that puts in a report for every adress attended during 'storm nights', i would say they are covering there asses and providing evidence that the fire service actually attended.
re; multiple brigades attending, whats wrong with that? some brigades get ansty about jobs in there area going to the wrong brigade... i dont see an issue if everyone is happy to attend, although it can seem a bit ridiculous...
"im on scene at this tree down... strike out a third alarm."

Crank

Third alarm tree down.. That would be hillarious !!

(and a heap of chainsaws

)

CFS_Firey · « **Reply #132 on:** June 20, 2006, 07:23:00 PM »

Completely off topic, but in the CFS do we say "strike out a third alarm" or "upgrade to a third alarm"? people seem to say 'strike out' a lot here, but I've never heard it over the radio...

PF_ · « **Reply #133 on:** June 20, 2006, 07:36:01 PM »

Dunno but I think "strike out a third alarm" is being taken from when Jonny Travolta says it in Ladder 49.

Generally CFS use "Upgrade to a second alarm". MFS and the crankier CFS brigades like to use "Transmit second alarm" and the real cranks use "Transmit the box".

"Strike out a third alarm" would be from the FDNY - I challenge someone to use that one on the GRN.

strikeathird · « **Reply #135 on:** June 20, 2006, 08:57:13 PM »

Challenge accepted. Come give me a third alarm and I will use it.

(Note. I do not condone you or any other person starting a third alarm fire for this challenge.)

My bet is if we said "Upgrade to a second alarm" most people would be like wuh?

Its more like "we need more trucks now!"

medevac · « **Reply #144 on:** June 21, 2006, 03:52:25 PM »

mmm well second/third alarm responses are defined by SOPs so shouldnt be a prob...

rural - 2 more appliances
TFB day rural - 4 more appliance, go/dgo/gdo
structure - 2 more appliances (1 CABA)
rescue - 1 more fire, 1 more rescue, go/dgo/gdo
hazmat - 2 more fire, 1 more hazmat, state hazmat, hazmat/cbr officer
vehicle fire - 2 more appliance (1 CABA)

i reckon ive posted that somewhere else before....

Toast · « **Reply #145 on:** June 21, 2006, 05:05:20 PM »

Yeah, everyone should know what the alarm upgrades are...

Mind you, its lucky we only go Inital/1st/2nd/3rd/4th alarm. The poor yanks just keep going

medevac · « **Reply #146 on:** June 21, 2006, 05:32:13 PM »

hah - imagine trying to coordinate something like that... rip your hair out quickly...

would be interesting to see how the upgrades work though, meaning the additional appliances for alarms...

rescue5271 · « **Reply #147 on:** June 21, 2006, 07:52:17 PM »

Me like CFA system better,make pumper or make tankers 4,its easy and simple and so much faster as you ask for what you want...

Toast · « **Reply #148 on:** June 21, 2006, 08:07:11 PM »

But how is, "Upgrade, 2nd Alarm" *not* easy? It gets all appropriate rescources responded as necessary. Plus, everything can use the alarm system. Hazmats, RCR, fires, they can all use the upgrading.

A recent fire in melbourne a MFB OIC stated that the fire was a 7th alarm, what the???
