There a lots of emergency response teams at major industrial sites around Australia for example

Auspine Limited
Kimberly Clark Australia
Carter Holt Harvey
Green Triangle Forest Products Sawmill
Olympic Dam
Port Stanvac
Portland Aluminum

All of these above have emergency response teams who respond to fire & accidents on their industrial worksite under the OHS&W policy

When the Penola pulp mill is up and running in a couple years time i dare say that they will have a emergency response team as well

I got a glimpse of the inside of our new truck last night and it has alot more leg room as there is a 3 shelf metal cupboard in between the seats where siren,intercom & portable radios are gonna be house

Naracoorte has been flat out in the past week I think we are around 136 jobs.....Robert as for your old 34 I would say it will be sold at the government auctions once they remove items and give it a cut and polish.....

Toast · « **Reply #195 on:** July 09, 2006, 03:10:57 PM »

I'd be suggesting that you guys at Littlehampton and Mt. Barker would be expecting a few more calls, due to thing like the large housing estates going in around the place?

Manuel · « **Reply #196 on:** July 09, 2006, 03:24:36 PM »

Its funny it is not that way, Littlehampton peaked at around 180 two years back but now we are getting less and less or actual calls, but more and more alarms. But as they say there is not pattern to it all.

Alan (Big Al) · « **Reply #197 on:** July 09, 2006, 04:06:27 PM »

How busy a brigade is also depends on the demographic of the community.... Things such as average age of the community, income status things like that.

Our town is made up of more older people than younger ones and they tend to be more responsible etc etc..

I mean no offence to anyone living in the following areas but if you put the northern suburbs demographic of people in to say, Burnside then Burnsides call out rate would probably increase by maybe 50%.

I don't know if anyone could follow that but thats what i believe has a big effect on how busy some areas are to others.

people who think fixed or private alarms are stupid really need to have a better understanding of how alarms work.When an alarm goes off it does it for a reason and that can be human or mechanical and all alarms should be treated as a genuine call until its proven to be false alarm. just because your call rate's have dropped does not mean people are being safer on the road it just means in your area there are more police and more media coverage of what goes on....
