I would of thought Dalkeith would be up there with their 14,24,24P,34P and hazmat appliance.

Dalkeith don't actually have there 34p yet. I know from a friend that they are training on it at the moment, what with the monitor and Hydralic Pump. Dalkeith 34P will replace there 24P which is going to be refurbished.

All appliances are state resources now.

Ok here are a few CFS quiz qu.

1. What speed are you allowed to do through roadworks sign-posted at 25km/hr while responding priority one?

2. Approximately how far from burning cannabis should a staging area be setup?

3. What's the proword to use when you didn't quite catch a transmission? (minus points will be issued...)

4. Do CFS personnel have authority to order residents to evacuate?

bittenyakka · « **Reply #183 on:** March 18, 2007, 05:30:55 PM »

1. I don't yet drive
2.

3. "say again"
4. i would say we don't

wilma · « **Reply #184 on:** March 18, 2007, 07:00:27 PM »

25kph no excuses

Pixie · « **Reply #185 on:** March 18, 2007, 08:51:56 PM »

with that last one, under the old Country fires act doesn't an officer have the authority to take control over any property... i would assume that the SAFECOM act would be the same...?? if this is so wouldnt they be able to order someone off the land??

Blue · « **Reply #186 on:** March 19, 2007, 09:02:05 AM »

Hmmm, not quite, anymore takers?

Bittenyakka gets 10 points for answer to 3.
So glad you didn't say "repeat"

Officers may have had the authority to enter property, break into property under certain circumstances, take control of things like power / gas etc, and can turn it off / arrange to turn it off, but CFS has NEVER had the power to forcibly remove a person from their property (and hopefully CFS won't ever have that power.)

Police do not have the power to forcibly remove people either...although under certain circumstances, they can prevent people returning to an area......

Its amazing what the words "get out" will do with a gun in your hands.

Oh and a police uniform

Blue · « **Reply #189 on:** March 19, 2007, 10:59:30 AM »

LOL Camo if we can't get a Halligan I doubt they'll give us a gun

10 points for Pip, under normal circumstances we can't force anyone to evacuate their property. However there is a particular circumstance under which CFS does have the authority to order an evacuation....any other takers?

Blue · « **Reply #190 on:** March 19, 2007, 11:34:47 AM »

Hey Wilma I missed your reply in there, sorry - yes indeed 10 points to Wilma for answer to qu 1. Roadworks sign posted at 25km/hr must be traversed at 25km/hr even under a priority one response. Same with operating school crossings.

Unfortunately those 10 points will be taken away after seeing Wilma's answer to qu 2

wilma · « **Reply #191 on:** March 19, 2007, 02:41:09 PM »

OK then what is the distance then blue Ive never heard of it to be honest

Pixie · « **Reply #192 on:** March 19, 2007, 03:01:13 PM »

would that one circumstance be HAZMAT...??

alphaone · « **Reply #193 on:** March 19, 2007, 03:12:29 PM »

1. As previously said, 25kmh
2. Down wind, only joking. Up wind, 20 meters away
3. Say again
4. NO

Blue · « **Reply #194 on:** March 19, 2007, 03:20:47 PM »

20m is too close. I think you'll find it somewhere in the COSO's.

SA Firey · « **Reply #195 on:** March 19, 2007, 04:14:35 PM »

1.25k/mh
2.150M uphill and upwind from burning cannabis
3.Say again
4.No

Blue · « **Reply #196 on:** March 20, 2007, 01:29:44 PM »

Top marks for SA Firey

The circumstances where CFS can order an evacuation (although it is CFS policy to avoid doing so) is when a declaration is made under the Emergency Management Act 2004. Although the way the legislation reads, it would seem that to enact those powers we would all need ID Cards...

Next question please

I know we have asked which is the buisiest brigade but which is the buisiest group?

My guess would be:

1) Para Group (Salisbury & Dalkeith both score well)
2) Mawson Group (Happy Valley & Morphett Vale both do well also)

I do believe and also taking last years stats that ...

**drum roll please**
Para group would be the busiest group - with a pretty large total of 1109 calls last year (give or take a few)
Closely followed by Mawson group with also a large total of 987 calls last year (also give or take a few)!!!!
(that did include stop-calls!! - i might add...)
.....

and i do believe if i can work out that... i do hav far 2 much time on my hands!!!
