"So they don't have a procedure to open doors when the power goes out, so they are unaware of how to change the doors over to manual, hmmm, thank god they aren't an emergency service.......".....have they ever heard of Chains to open the doors, no need for generators...just good old Hard work using what we have called "arms"."
The page was a "dig"at some people in high places - it should not have been sent, so that everyone can read them-however!
You guys amaze me, very quick to question another service when things don't look right but on the other hand go right off when the criticism is leveled at your respective services. An SES recon team is two people, that is the minmum standard for general response.
If you want to throw stones 1) Urban pumper dragging a combitool down the road, not this area 2) Urban pumper total of 3 crew to a MVA 3) CFS 34 crew of 1 to a MVA 4) CFS Hazmat respones 3/4 hr after other services arrive 5) SAMFS Pumper "rear ends" another pumper - need I go on?
Yes we all have problems, however like it or not we are an ESO & will remain so - get used to it!
Suggest there were other problems - "1908032 15:40:45 07-03-08 replacement duty officer required phone ********* SES Metro South Info"
So I think the issue is being dealt with internally, did it really need the comments?
bye for now
