So tell me does blackwood do so many rescues because people forget to open their eyes while driving up there??? Some freaky stuff happens on some pretty decent roads up there.

[medevac]

mmm... not quite sure where ya'r going there mundcfs...

Blackwood cover a fair area, and admittedly most has some pretty decent roads, but almost all of it is up and down hill, m,ost roads are extremely windy and a fair few are quite tight...

blackwood get quite a few rescues every year.. they do seem to have had a run of a few lately...

Ah Red helmet in the thick of the action - it must be Sturt Group 

Only Group I know of where Group Officers respond to Fixed Alarms.

Crankster 34 Only Group I know of where Group Officers respond to Fixed Alarms.
I don't thinks that happens anymore

[Alan (Big Al)]

Not having a dig at Blackwood just the idiots on the roads that manage to run off on straight roads etc...etc...

[fire03rescue]

Off topic but I wonder which brigade did most RCR for the year !!

[firetruck]

well combine each RCR brigades RCR stats and you will get it. personally i think stirling would have the most, then maybe naracoorte, then blackwood.

[corecutters]

Barker would be up there with the Rescue Tally...


Nice pics macca.

[Alan (Big Al)]

Most MVA's attended was Stirling followed by Barker, Salisbury, and Dalkeith

[medevac]

are we talking actual cut outs though?

[Alan (Big Al)]

Nah couldn't be bothered looking in to it that much. As for cuts those four with Aldinga would still be up there.

[medevac]

i have a funny feeling that if we are talking about actual cut outs it would be between salisbury, barker and stirling...

i dont think country brigades would really come into the picture, although they woudl do there fair share...

[Alan (Big Al)]

For anyone who cares, according to promo site the MVA rescues are as follows.

Barker 39
Stirling 33
Salisbury 32
Dalkeith 25

How accurate this is i don't know as the prom site had our brigade down for a couple more rescue's than we actually did.

As for those numbers they can keep it, it would give me the sh**s doing that many rescues.

[firetruck]

rescues seem to be pretty well all my brigade attend...

Macca - who gives a toss about the vests - the road appeared blocked - so whos driving through!!!!!

Mmm good to see a red helmet in the thick of it - interesting when none of the red helmets have participated in the RCR comps now for some time yet they feel the need to get in there - once a fire fighter always a fire fighter - hard to let go!

As for responding to fixed alarms - not officially, but they still ghost!

[mack]

re the vests - just chucked that on there due to the comments in the last thread LMAO - the road was closed btw... crime scene apparently 

yeah, had him right in there in the thick of it, cant hurt to have the experience on hand, plus i think they were a little on the light side with RCR  operators....
