Fire in the SE?

[bittenyakka]

Wasn't quite as bad up in the hills as we had the rain. But going out to Cuddley creek ther was reports of fires starting every 5 minuts or so. most were not actauly fires but it did create chaos.

[medevac]

had three fires in our area (hills) started by lightning just the other day.... one was semi-decent size burning in some steep terrain, which made for a good time before being sent on a changeover crew to humbug scrub.

[SA Firey]

Robert wanted to go but hasnt done burnover training yet Pip :lol:

[Robert-Robert34]

Very funny SA Firey even though its true that i havent done burn over training  :-) im hoping to sort that out soon  :wink:

[SA Firey]

Just think once you get that out the way,we then expect you to break out the camera and get some piccys of the Doo's jobs for the Promo site :-D

[Robert-Robert34]

Thats about what i'll be doing SA Firey but since we might have a couple of newbie volunteers joining up who have already done their fire training with another brigade i might have to let them go out however if i happen to be nearby to a local fire station like Wandilo or Tarpeena when theres a big fire i'll respond with them  :-D

If only i had of gotten a USB download cord with my Nokia 6233 i could've downloaded that video footage of MFS responding to k-mart for a fire alarm yesterday onto my computer  :-D

[Pipster]

MFS photos aren't much good for the CFS Promo site   :-(

If anyone does have recent photos of any CFS activities, that might be suitable for the Promo site, please email them through to me   pip@fire-brigade.asn.au

Pip   :-D

[Robert-Robert34]

Mind you pip yesterdays footage i took of MFS responding was once in a blue moon shot as it may never happen again for a while or at least until an actual emergency occurs in K-mart  :-P :-D

Suggestion Rob...change your settings so it saves it to the Memory Card instead then you can take it out and use the card reader to get it onto your PC :wink:

[Pipster]

I'm not disputing that...just that it is the CFS Promotions Unit website, and hence doesn't have a lot of MFS photos / footage on it!

I am seeking photo of CFS appliances, and of CFS members doing their stuff.....

Plenty of activity still down here in the SE. Strike teams heading of to Dergholm to assist CFA as well as region 3 brigades in the upper south east still running around at flare ups and re-kindles.

[5271rescue]

most groups in the south east still have members working on fires,naracoorte group has had appliances helping Lucindale and as far as i know we have not gone over to the casterton fire's. I hope we dont get called as today is our xmas party fire's still burning in the upper south east at gum lagoon and that park that loves to burn each year mind you 14 appliances are better for use up there than 24/34.......

[Robert-Robert34]

With warmer weather coming up this week coming all h*** is gonna break loose if those fires get stirred up

[medevac]

well then,,, do a good job and actually put them out properly...

[SA Firey]

Ngarkat is going as well Bill :roll:

[Camo]

Spent the night in Dergholm last night.  They gave us 10 DSE lightning units to run around in.  Most impressive, they go through just about anything.

nah little desert is in victoria up near bordertown....about 30kms south.

[5271rescue]

hope you took some photos mate??? as of 0730 today fires in and along the voctoria border at contained but there is some fear that with hot dyas coming and stronger winds that teh fires will or could jump the break.......I understand water is a problem for refilling the aircraft....there is not much in victoria in the way of water...

[Robert-Robert34]

Has anyone noticed the pager messages relating to lighting strike flare ups last week are starting to pop up every now & then on the pager site

1908866 15:12:42 26-11-06 SHQ: AIR OPS INFO: BOMBERS 583 & 564 DIVERTED FROM STOP CALL AT NOOLOOK FOREST, TO FLARE UP AT NARADALE FIRE NEAR STEWARTS RANGE WITH SPOTTER 505

1909243 15:04:03 26-11-06 SHQ: CFSRES: STEWARTS RANGE RESPOND FLARE UP OF PREVIOUS FIRE, STEWARTS RANGE 

[Pipster]

I suspect not all of them are flare ups... some look like new fires - there have been around 1670 strikes in SA in the last 24 hours.....
