Country Fire Service / Re: GRN paging outages
« on: August 21, 2006, 11:13:32 PM »
Some background on GRN outages: GRN voice and paging sites are having their annual maintenance checks and also being upgraded. The State notifies all agencies regarding dates and times and usually works in 15 to 60 mins outage timeframes. However the actual time a site if off line is much less, generally between say 15 to 60 secs.
For paging, adjacent sites can provide coverage and that's why CFS SOP's require brigades to acknowledge the pager response message withinn 6 minutes for SHQ messages, 4 minutes for SAMFS messages.
All planned outages are outside the Fire Danger Season.
These outages are opportunities to for CFS Groups/Brigades to review and practice contingency plans.
There will be more information regarding GRN outages shortly and this will be communicated to brigades/groups via CFS Regional HQ.
Kind Regards,
Gary Bau
