Big Al. People need to respect others opinions as they are just that. And being able to anonymously express your opinion on a forum with out being chastised in your brigade for having an opinion is a good thing. You only have to look at what happens if you speak up for what you think is right in your brigade. You get pushed to the outer pretty quick. Petty or bitter. No, I just read pager site to see others get group or brigade pagers for strike team stuff. But I guess we must do phone a friend stuff instead. Would be nice if all brigade members get a go on a truck. Just my opinion. Just that.
And BTW I was commenting on Baggyassfirey comment on getting strike teams going. If you only ring 1/3 of the brigades members then I guess your not going to get a decent response. Pages are a great resource of communication.

Just my opinion. Your a passionate man Big Al. Run for group Al hehee

Hi pump rescue. No not quite.  :mrgreen:  I wouldn't last 5 mins there hahaha.
Obviously others are watching hey. Just hope the boys get on with the job. I haven't seen Corey around for a while. It was good to see him on the creek truck the other day.

(First response, the previous group people are gone, there is a good reason for that, they couldnt stand up and take responsibility for their actions they preferred to blame everyone else, and from that the new mundoo group officers now have substantial rebuilding to do for our group name which is now Mud because of previous done deeds....)

Big Al. Good to see you haven't sodding them off in your last comment. Shouldn't throw rocks if you live in a glass house.
Glad to hear your an individual Big Al.

The problem is big al. That if only a phone call goes to the captains then they don't pass of the message to the members then the members don't get a chance. I would call that holding the power & control. As for the previous group your current GO only has 2 years experience in the CFS and your deputy has an ego problem I hear. Like he thinks that the group was run by egos and that he could do a better job didn't he put that in his CV. . So I guess the people that wanted to push out the old group people are doing the job now. I would say they have an ego problem. Either way I think you need to get around your group and find out what the other members think about what's going on down there. You can't just believe what you hear from your own brigade officers.

09-05-13 22:23:38   Crew required for strike team tomorrow for Cherryville fire, 12hr shift, to be @ Lenswood oval for breakfast by 0700. Contact Conc Captn **********0 if available - CFS Concordia Info


2230 hrs and still trying organise strike teams for day shift the fire has been going since 1430 hours....POOR management

No wonder they can hardly fill a strike team these days!!


At least they got a page asking. R1 put page out about 12.15 today asking for relief numbers
The new Mundoo group people didn't even put a page out asking for any one. Wouldn't have happened with the previous group people. If R1 asked they put page out to whole group. Pissed a couple of captains off but at least they asked the members.
Down here we don't even get a chance to have a go. I think that's poor management at group level.

Why would we have a group officer driving P1 at a silly speed to this call to get there and do what.
It's dark 9 pm P1 from where ever seems a bit silly

19:51:38   14-02-13   Until further notice, Port Elliot Captain will be your duty officer for incidents. - CFS Port Elliot Info

What going on down at Mundoo. Where are all the duty officers gone?  I have heard along grape vine that someone has been scheiße stirring and people have left because of it. Not good. No wonder the service is losing people.

But that was about 1.5 hours after the alarm happen. Bit of a touchy subject. Sorry Big Al

PLEASE ADVISE IF CLEAR OF INC 0047 - CFS Goolwa Response
17:44:30   20-12-12   PLEASE ADVISE IF CLEAR OF INC 0047 - CFS Mundoo Group Officers Response

I thought every one would have this down pat by now. One more thing A/F don't need to do.
Brigade's should be on top of this by now.

Sorry only new to it. But it sounds like some stations can't get a comms person to do there radio during an incident. Sound like DO response ability are forgotten and the time they give up to help brigades with comms when they cant are lost. It goes both ways.  Don't they have two radios to monitor 124 and your local talk group? Just like a station. I thought they were there to help with comms while the brigade runs the show at the scene? They only make a decision based on what a brigade asks for or as good as the sitrep is given to them. Only been out a couple of times with a DO and from what I've seen they try to play as a team, not a 1 man show. If you get a chance jump in a car with them and see what it's like on the other side.

Seeing as the DO acknowledged A/F and they know that, wouldn't it be as easy to radio that DO and ask if they are out the door. It would seem that it depends which team is on up there to whether they use their radios to ask the question or just press a button. Yes we should all come up to A/F and acknowledge the call. But we can all use the radio and ask the question hey. You can't run the job buy sitting behind a desk making decision with out asking what's going on first.
