Fire at Pt Lincoln

Wasn't desperate....!!  Lincoln CFS just know if they need a crew with in 5 min that MFS are pretty quick to RES where other brigades are at least 10 - 15 min from being mobile.

Personally I'd like a second back up crew ASAP not 20 min away.

You need to remember that Rural brigades don't live 5 mins or less from their stations and aren't sitting waiting for the pagers to drop...they have lives and a living to earn...oh and by the way, the two nearest brigades are 15-20kms away...

Some rural brigade can take up to 20 mins to turn out to a call,why?? well they have lots of cattel/stock gates to open and close,the station is more than 15/20 kms away.....

It the difference between Region one and most other places in the state. We've got it fantastic here, yet people seem to forget that...

It's something that Urban brigades forget quite quickly...and the fact that we are all volunteers...sometimes we can't just drop everything and run... :wink:
