Looks like the pre-determined COQs plans have gone out the window as normal..

What are the pre-determined COQ's?  Who goes where?

Nice to see a decent first alarm response though for what had been reported.
3 pumps plus tanker.

3 dakka dakka's and a few bulkys, no pumps on that page.

3 34P's, 2 bulk water carriers, a 34 and a pumper

cant help having no pumps on the page if their aren't any to go other then one

Yeah noticed them a while ago. Have been talking to people in my brigade about it and will inquire futher. Darren, did they give them to you or brigade cost involved?

Looks like their pumper is back on the run after all this time..
hopefully it wont stuff up like last time  :evil:

congratulations Stirling

they still had their other trucks, they don't take all their trucks on a strike team.

I think might be saying talk to the paid cfs guys in ya brigade coz they might have an insist in to when (or if your) you get this new Air ops truck...if ya wanna picture pm some of the local guys the head down there.

hmm so without filtered everyone off why did Hermatige go to BLP :?

and my aim of this topic was, Do people think that if they respond with MFS for a number of calls that they should have something more then just BA or im i just stirring the pot again?

Hey...Chinny there are more EMA brigades out there other then NS/A  :wink:

Just wondering what peoples thoughts are on minimum requirements for EMA, COQ etc etc should be?

Speaking of chainsaws, what age to you have to be to get the chainsaw ticket through CFS? assuming 18 as most of those equipment courses are...?

Whats happened to the van? :evil: anyone got some news to shed on it?

I have also noticed **Not bagging briagdes with RIV** that they dont actually do that many rescues either (some do some dont). What risks do you determine to get it on...Bridgewater has the Freeway, Seaford with...? etc

Like 24P states, looking on google maps, you have 3 rescue stations nearby and 2 MFS pumps with RIV nearby that often arrive first. So I think you would find it VERY hard to justify getting RIV where you are.

Can you tell us how many rescues your brigade does in a year, where cutting was involved ?

Im Glade people cut the story short haha i only had a dream but the reality is it porbably wont happen unless i can pull something up, Darren, for the time ive been in the brigade (2 years 1 as a responding ff) there was 1 rescue done (08/09 stats) which was on private property were the person was trapped for quite a while until Athelstone arrived. Being in an EMA brigade I thought it may help us when (if) are required to do COQ, But oh well.

Hello all...I am relatively new to the forum people have guessed i am from Norton Summit CFS brigade. I am not here to start any (politcal) issues but wish to ask a few questions rearding getting light rescue into a briagde.
Is it worth having RIV in a briagde i.e. Seaford, Bridgewater etc
How d briagdes like Burnside and stirling manage to have both heavy and light rescue?

How did they get it? was it brigade purchase or funded by the state?

(people may look down upon me for thinking this) but in the other post on "Burnside responding into East torrens it was said that Burnside do cover a fair amount of East Torrens turf but Athelstone and Burnside both are about 15 minutes away from certain parts of Norton Summit and our responding areas i.e. Teringie, Woodforde, Skye (look on SACFS promo site for more info), I had an idea of having light rescue in my briagde. Posotive views much appriciated  :mrgreen:

We dont hate them as much as you think  :-D im sure everyone has something against them but oh well i think thats with every brigade (no brigade  is perfect) and yes exactly right we do need them...
our group in the dark ages? oh please explain?

Stirling dont cover NSA for resuce its either Burnside or Athelstone and Stirling can be responded as a back up.

Maybe it's time to look at another option like getting another brigade in east torrens kitted with rapid intervention?

Defiantly starting to show with with some of them in the suburbs...i guess stop calls still count as a  response though ?? lol

EMA stands for Enhanced Mutual Aid...for brigades like Burnside, Seaford, Salisbury, Morphett Vale, Athelstone, Norton Summit etc that have MFS respond in to their area and visa versa and are liable to do COQ (change of quaters to an MFS station if MFS are tied up at a major incident
