Stayed tuned....

Shane,

Page was meant to say 'Bike Team'....i think anyway! I personally have had issues with the link paging calltakers not sending the correct and accurate dictated information.
Hope that clears it up.

Cheers

Pulled into the local carwash  yesterday... to my amazement they had already set up a swine flu de-contamination unit..... :mrgreen:

So Andrew has a operational deployment of SES crew occured yet? If so, how many have gone over and what are the requirements of these crews in terms of skills, experience etc?

Cheers

'security' is probably not the best way to describe what they where doing. The f/a was setup in the community centre and SES where used to ensure that only the injured where entering to enable the services to perform what they are there do.

You could call it as 're-directing' the public. At no stage did the SES ask to check ID, Physically Handle patrons nor did they have the power to remove persons from this area. If an altercation had occured SAPOL would of been notified and the persons dealt with.

I worked as part of the medical team at New Years and i have to say that SES did an excellent job in some trying conditions.

Bit concerning that SES cannot get crew at Midnight on a Friday night...

What do people think?

I personally would refuse to ride an appliance to a call that came through with only those details.

I personally would not be surprised if a unit/brigade would refuse to even respond. CFS dont have the training to deal with aggressive offenders, they dont have the experience nor the equipment. Questions would definitaley be asked if anything did happen to the crew.

Reading the posts on this forum so far the consensus would definiately be that CFS should not be asked to respond to these types of incidents. What next...snake catching?

If your not sure how to handle the case or your not trained...i would wait for SAPOL to arrive. Services need to perform to their scope of practice and not step outside that. You dont see SAPOL fighting fires, you dont see CFS doing the job of SAAS....each service should stick to what they are trained/permitted to do.

Violence at a scene as stated before can involve a variety of things. Comms try and give us as much warning as possible taking into consideration what the caller has stated about the case.
Often if crews have attended the same house address and have found a hazard it is logged in the database and stored until another call comes from the same house. Often if violence or an offender is involved we will wait for SAPOL to arrive and enter with them or we may R/V with them at a nearby location to plan how we will approach the house.
As you mentioned, these type of hazards are an unwanted distraction but with society these days it will just get worse i believe.

Sorry, I cannot picture this one...did the tail get trapped in the filter or did the lid jam shut ??

How do you extricate cat that would be trying to fight its way out ?? Without getting scratched.....

SES have been asked multiple times over the weekend to send crews to both Warooka and Kangaroo Island to assist.

I have put my name down for the deployment starting tommorow morning and returning sometime Saturday. Still awaiting final travel details and arrangements from State HQ tonight. Anyone else heading over?

Sounds like this fire may be coming in close promximity of assets....

I could maybe suggest a phone call to the SACFS.
