7.25

Thats about right SA Firey cause our call out rate did drop significantly after the 1997/1998 & 1998/1999 fire season

Heres another question

Q: How many active members did Kalangadoo brigade have in the 1980s & 1990s before the membership dropped to the current number of 6 today

SA Firey · « **Reply #79 on:** November 24, 2006, 07:32:14 AM »

15 at a guess

Robert-Robert34 · « **Reply #80 on:** November 24, 2006, 07:41:24 AM »

Around about that number cause its a know fact that in the 1980s even during Ash Wednesday Kalangadoo EFS was literally run & managed by the Kalangadoo Lions Club

Under the old cfs call signs what would these vehicles have been?

`Compton 25`
`Compton 31`
`Compton 42`
`Compton 53`
`Compton 64`
`Compton 71`

Robert-Robert34 · « **Reply #82 on:** November 24, 2006, 02:38:34 PM »

Compton 42 would have meant 4000 litre 2 wheel drive

Read the question old CFS callsigns

42 used to be for any tankers

Pipster · « **Reply #84 on:** November 24, 2006, 03:27:25 PM »

"Compton 31" type callsign would have been what we now know as a 14...

And I'd have to disagree with you re the 42 callsign...I reckon it was closer to what is now our 24's .....

You missed the "81" call sign, which was used as part of the same series of call signs.. thoughts?

25 = ?
31 = QAV/Landcruiser type
42 = 24/34
53 = 22/32
64 = 14
71 = 12
Was i close?

fire03rescue · « **Reply #87 on:** November 25, 2006, 08:09:08 AM »

You also forgot
22 = 2 wheel drive 2000Lt
42 = 4wd 2000Lt

Yes 24p you were on the money. The first number in the call sign identifies the type and the second number is less important. For example in the Lofty group Stirling used the 1 as the second number for their appliances while Bridgewater used 2 and etc. While Brigades like Mt Barker went sort of in size ie 51,52,73,74,25.
The 25 was a command vehicle with no water.

I have some idea that a 71 was a Rescue type appliance...but not sure.

The 81 Call sign was for portables...

71 were Hazmat Units

Scania_1 · « **Reply #92 on:** November 26, 2006, 11:08:40 AM »

Appliances with a prefix 7 were just medium 2wd appliances with water. Although the old state hazmat was called Burnside 71 or State 71 or something even though it didnt carry water. Stirling 12 was Stirling 71 too I think but it wasnt Hazmat.

SA Firey · « **Reply #93 on:** November 27, 2006, 08:51:54 AM »

I think the 7 was for a range of special appliances at the time but yes State Hazmat 71 was what I was referring to.
