Alarm Responses

[Camo]

Gday,

Just wondering whether anyone has a alarm reference or something.  In other words if you upgrade to a 2nd alarm how many trucks would you get?

[Scania_1]

They are in the standard operational procedures I believe. Should be a copy of them in your station, sorry at Rogers house. lol

The alarm responses vary according to the type of incident. Check in your station for SOP`s

Depends what to...  :wink:

[medevac]

second alarm for an Alarm Call actually gives you two further appliances......

[medevac]

SOP 2.1

Alarm levels,

Structure Fire (same response as ALarm Call)

1A = 2 app min 1x BA
2A = 2 further app min 1x BA
3A = 4 further app min 2x BA
4A = strike team + RDO

How does that work when there are great distances between brigades? in our lovely state.

[medevac]

who cares how it works, that is the SOP for response...
not an answer for everything.

ive been to a through the roof domestic with only three appliances, therefor it was only a first alarm  :wink:

[SA Firey]

Also depends on what GROUP as well,they all seem to make their own response rules inhouse :-D

[fire03rescue]

I have been to a few jobs with the fire through the roof and 3 appliances was fine, just protected exposures and water on the fire. I have no problem with 3 appliances for jobs like that.
3 CFS appliances  could be up to 20 firefighters. How many do you need for an average size house.
Why call extra brigades out??

[SA Firey]

Directly proportional to whether you have hydrants available or not,but normally 4 appliances to a confirmed structure

[fire03rescue]

Yes all of those calls we did have good water supply
