BA relief would actually be a key thing in all this...after all a pumper/24P/34P may have 4 BA sets...but they only have one refill...thats around 1 and a bit hour breathing time...

Realistically, for a standard house fire, 2 or 3 BA crews with an hour breathing time should be ample...

For us:

Rural Minimum 2 Brig, Urban 3 Brig (2 of which BA), MVA 2 Brig (RCR 1 Brig per car\truck\bus)

Of corse that is what is responded, if resources can be scaled back after first appliance arrives the stop calls go out.

not having a go at ANY CFS brigade here but why not respond SAMFS as a dual response into CFS area for more incidents...

Simple to far away nearest MFS is 40kms (Kapunda Retained have trouble with crews themselves) nearest Fulltime MFS 55kms (Gawler) and we have 8 CFS brigades & 3 CFS grps who are closer.

Sometimes I wonder :?
