MFS: *CFSRES INC024 25/06/08 11:12,RESPOND Tree Down,ASHBOURNE RD,STRATHALBYN MAP 251 B 16 TG142,TURNOFF BEFORE GREEN MAN INN,ASHB00 DEH Southern Lofty Fire Crew

Anyone know why they got paged. No Nat Parks around there.

Looking at the pager code it is probaly ashbourne......maybe one of the deh guys is in the brigade? or someone has the wrong filter on the code?

Your on the money Camo

it's not Ashbourne (they are 1909030) but could well be the wrong tag saying DEH.  The responses to that incident are interesting all round:

Could that mystery extra one (tag "DEH", capcode 1915879) perhaps be Forestry?  Do Ashbourne brigade have some link with Forestry as far as responses go in that area maybe?

Maybe even money is no incentive these days?

[pumprescue]

Thats what I don't get, its money for jam being retained, you may as well go and get the cash, especially if your home, and last time I checked retained have to sort of make an effort or get the boot.

[Footy]

You're soprt of right pumprescue, There is definitely a clause in the employmen contract saying retainees must make it to the station for 50% of the calls, and ride for 50% of the times they make it, but as far as I can see it is up to the individual stations to enforce these.

If getting your quota of firies is difficult, then you are going to be less likely to give someone the flick, as opposed to a station that has a waiting list for people to join (not actually sure if there is a station in this category at the moment tho??)

[pumprescue]

I doubt its up to the stations as to keeping you or not, the HQ see's the pay sheets, if your number hasn't clocked on for month after month then I think you will be asked to turn your gear in or give a good reasson why you aren't around !

Some retained that I have talked to, have stated that the money you get for responding is less than the money they get from their business/paid-work.

So I think they are more like volunteers because the money incentive is not there.

[Cameron Yelland]

At something like $21 an hour, most blue collared jobs dont pay that much.

[Footy]

But depending on where you are most blue collared jobs can guarantee more than 2 or three hours worth of work a week...

[Cameron Yelland]

this is true

[SA Firey]

Group Officers: Elliot 34 is non operational until further notice. Elliot 24 still non operational. Alerts operators be aware. Use VH MFS or Middleton for Port Elliot calls. Hopefully problem may be fixed within 24 hrs. PE Captain CFS Mundoo Group Officers Info

They can always get the Region Spare 34 from Coromandel Valley

[Footy]

Or a spare mfs appliance from somewhere?? LOL

[OMGWTF]

or perhaps the simplest fastest idea... borrow an appliance from goolwa

Ahh negative to that, wouldn't be smart giving them a truck they haven't trained on or don't know the layout on, smartest thing would be to give them middleton 24 or Mt Compass 34 which that brigade would be familiar with. Or even a Victor group truck they have heaps of them sitting around doing nothing during winter.
But thats just my veiw, up to the GO's as to what they do.

hahaha an expected response...
"they need a truck... no they cant borrow one of ours..."

cant have a truck they havent been trained on or know the layout of...? Goolwa 34 is a real tricky truck is it? being a basic standard issue 34? honestly...... sometimes i sit here and laugh all day...

hmmm, borrow middleton 24....? and therefore empty middleton station. doh, great plan....

looks like coro has given up that 34 judging by some pager messages today...

[Bagyassfirey]

totally agree with u OMGWTF......

Middletons given their truck up to port elliot a few times before!!!! it's only 5km either side of middleton to goolwa or port elliot!!!!! And they have the group tanker in the station.

And sorry like alot of brigades we've loaned our truck out to crews not from our brigade and it comes back stuffed.

And yes myself and another member picked that truck up from coro tonight.
