Toast:
And someone said the SES had the monopoly on RCR and confined space *shakes head*
[Mod note]I said no SES bashing! Be positive young and caring man!
There is a difference between punching holes in an argument and bashing.
Stop abusing your modrights

Actually, what was said was that CFS only has the monopoly on firefighting and HAZMAT. Nothing was said about SES having a monopoly on confined space and RCR. And those are not the final statistics, by the way... that was a quick answer of a question. If you would like a full list of who does what, I would be more than happy to provide each unit's specialisations later in the week.

You're on then, mate :mrgreen: Full list of each SES unit's specialisations by the end of the week and you can give us a full list of CFS brigades specialisations.

YES....new procedures within the MFS ComCen and SES SCC ComCen mean that if the call-taker determines that the tree is down and safe, or that the water flood is from blocked gutters, then no Unit will be dispatched.
Call is logged as 'no response'.
The caller will be advised to contact a home maintenance firm.
Difficult when the caller gets angry or is old & infirm.
Sometimes the Duty Officer of the local Unit is telephoned & requested that a recce be performed before a full crew is dispatched.
these are generally P4 jobs (at discretion of volunteers time).
Toast:
How is it possible that the SES get turned out from MFS for a P1/P2 (both lights and sirens I have been led to believe) response, yet the may not be out the door for some time?
Do they have a specified default time like CFS does? Not just for RCR but for all jobs?
