Busiest brigades

[CFS_Firey]

I don't want start a 'mine is bigger than yours' thread, but I'm wondering who the busiest brigades in the CFS are...
From the promo website, the busiest I can find are: (from last year)

Dalkieth 459
Salisbury 421
Morphett Vale 347
Mount Barker 339
Stirling 325

Does someone have a handy list of who they are, or how the calls are distributed?  There was some statistic floating around that only a few percent of brigades attend more than 200 calls a year...



[EDIT] Added Salisbury

[PF_]

I think Salisbury are the biggest but I dont have time to find their stats at the moment.

[24P]

I think Salisbury did about 420 odd calls last year

[probie_boy]

happy valley, hahndorf, strath, belair, aldinga beach and goolwa would be pretty high up there IMO

[mengcfs]

And to open a can of worms again on this topic are we counting stop calls

[probie_boy]

i spose we should count the amount of calls according to CFS promotions. But then again there are brigades who get stop calls and private alarms as 80% of their calls (80% is a guesstimate)

happy valley, hahndorf, strath, belair, aldinga beach and goolwa would be pretty high up there IMO

Happy/V bout 280, Handorf bout 120, Strath bout 90, Belair bout 160, Aldinga/B bout 140, (don't bash me i have a really freaky memory for numbers ) at Goolwa last year we did 107 and have done 102 so far this year.

I think the over 300 brigades are Dalkeith, Salisbury, Morphett Vale, Mount Barker, and Stirling sorry if i missed anyone

And CFS Firey go to CFS Promotions website and hit the find dtation website and you can bring up all CFS stations and their stats...

[CFS_Firey]

Yeah, I've been doing that, but you have to know what stations to search for, you can't search by call stats
I've added Salisbury to the list at the top... Does that mean Dalkieth is the busiest brigade in the CFS?  They seems to keep quite a low profile...

[PF_]

Thats cause they stole a McLoeds Daughters set piece

[Toast]

Just to add something fun to the mix:

"RED TRUCK CHASERS"

[strikeathird]

Dalkeith / Sailsbury are generally the busiest brigades...



Tehnically stop calls were originally Call outs.. (E.G - validated a Response) - so yes, they should be counted..

(even if that does put some of the top brigades into the 150-200 mark )

[Robert-Robert34]

During last night's brigade meeting our captain updated all the attendees about progress which was being made on building the Penola Pulp Mill

According to what was said Kalangadoo might become a very busy brigade as mills like Carter Holt Harvey tend to have so many fires a year requiring CFS response in which case it might be the same story once this new pulp mill is established

However i have no doubt that the Penola Pulp Mill will have its own emergency response team (whoops i went way off topic  )

[rescue5271]

Well you have opened the can of worms,so make sure you count all calls,stop,tree down,cat up,dog over and the all the happy fixed alarm........

[CFS_Firey]

Off topic even more, but do you guys generally put down what the incident was if its a stop call, or do you put "Did not Arrive".  Eg, if you get responded to an MVA, but another brigade gets there first and puts a stop on you, will you put DNA or MVA on the AIRS report?

[rescue5271]

Depends who fills in the paperwork,but I would say put donw details of job.

[medevac]

if you dont arrive then your incident report should be for a "did not arrive/stop call"

anything that your pager goes off for/attend station for/whatever, whether the truck  leaves stn, stays in stn or just doesnt get all the way there is an incident...

btw; i think the top three so far this year are salisbury, stirling, dalkeith... respectively.

other ones up there would be barker, morphett vale, happy, blackwood and seaford i would guess, there the usual front runners...

[Darius]

Aldgate and Burnside are around the 200 odd mark.

[24P]

Aldgate and Burnside are around the 200 odd mark.

just to add i think salisbury is around the 320 mark and dalkeith about 260.(these figures may not be accurate)

If you read the AIRS sheet describing all incidents it says for stop call "Stop called for call in Primary Response area" sooo technically if you back up a brigade and stopped then you should put down what the actual incident was???

260 dor Dalkeith they must be enjoying being a bit quieter, the police must have locked up most of the arsonists this year.

[medevac]

Aldgate and Burnside are around the 200 odd mark.

i recon there a bit closer to the 100 mark...

[medevac]

[probie_boy]

[E-ONE]

i think blackwood is about 160

Somewhere between there...   195 - 200 Calls

[Firey9119]
