hypothetical incident no. 2 :mrgreen:


it is 7:50am on a Thursday. On the South Eastern Freeway there has been a large MVA in the Heysen tunnels. The car travelling in the left lane has cut across in front of a delivery van in the right lane. Post collision, there are 3 entrapments, 1 in the delivery van, 2 in the car. As a result of the heavy traffic flow, a petrol tanker can't slow in time, sideswipes another semi, sandwiching it between the semi and the wall. as a result of this impact, a hole has been torn in the side of the tanker, spilling fuel in a slow leak. both truckies are NOT entrapped. The 2nd impact has not affected the 1st impact. Cars are banked up between the 2 accidents, but people at the site of the fuel, have fled through the emergency exits in the side, leaving the 3 entrapped and 2 people trying to help them.

In a bit of a twist, Stirling rescue is offline with mechanical problems.

uptrack or downtrack?

medevac:
actually considering the time of day, im going to presume downtrack.

that area should have stirling, burnside and 441 responded initially for RCR i believe, so with stirling rescue off the run, i would respond default for them (which would be blackwood), stop all traffic back up at the crafers exit due to lanes blocked and fuel leak, respond extra appliances and transportSA to assist with fuel spill cleanup, and let the rescue crews do there job with the extrication

fire03rescue:
But has the new station at Crafers been built ?
We could stop traffic with the boom gates if the new MFS station has been made half way up?
