Interesting Fire and Emergency Related Paging

15-11-10 11:08:10    CRML INFO: SPEED CAMERA MAIN ROAD CORO, IN BUS STOP BY BOTTOM OF ACKLANDS HILL ROAD - CFS Coromandel Valley Info

I thought we were meant to obey all road rules on the way to the station. If so then a page like this really isnt necessary......

Surely this would be a misue of resources (ie. the paging network). As mentioned above, if the road rules were being obeyed there would have been no need for a message like this.

I hope the person who sent out this message is counseled. By all means promote safe driving, but blatant attempts to avoid speed cameras are unwelcome.

Maybe it's a heads up for when they are responding....in the truck, to log a triggered flashy.  :wink:

So whats the difference in sending a page to members advising of the camera, and the camera's position being printed in the paper, or announced on various radio stations?

The TV and radio aren't government owned resources. Then again it prob only cost $0.0000001 to send out, so was insignificant, and may have got some people up that way to slow down last night. You're forgiven Mr Coro :-)

Yes, time to be counseled for looking after your mates.
Get real :x

Tft,

If you care about your mates, you'd want them to be driving safe all the time, not just when there's a speed camera around the place.

If was just my view that the paging service shouldn't be used as a speed camera lookout service. No need for the personal attacks Tft.

[Bagyassfirey]

The amount of time,effort and unpaid expenses we ALL put in to volunteering if someone wants to use the paging system to alert speed camera's or wish a happy birthday well so be it. Been going on for years and will go on for many more!

[safireservice]

Its funny, people complaining about the speed camera page. Seen some of the crap MFS are putting over latetly? Oh sorry i forgot, theyre professionals so its ok  :?

It shouldn't really be used for it, but always has in that area. Crews have never been told not to by officers or regions, etc etc. So im guessing they dont have any probs with it.

No worse than birthday wishes or baby welcoming.

Interesting.. quite a few trucks closer than them?

Often is.  Is Barker34P allowed to go so far out of the area

I believe they were nearby after a previous incident at Hahndorf?

Often is.  Is Barker34P allowed to go so far out of the area

Why wouldn't it be?

My god, someone struggled to get a crew....that NEVER happens....in fact I reckon someone that gets a crew these days should be posted, as that is RARE !

They were at an alarm at Hahndorf and owing to their reliability probably ACTUALLY had a BA crew....another example of why training needs a HUGE boost...

Figured it would leave Mt Barker and surrounds short on fire cover, but considering they were in Hahndorf  good thinking from someone.

[tft]

They go on strike teams all the time as other brigades do.
They still cover the area.
I am not sure of the problem with this.

They have two other trucks. No issues with going out of area. I was curious as to why the likes of mylor, bradbury, upper sturt etc didnt go.

[tft]

Yes, other brigades are closer. But Mt Barker had a crew and were at Hahndorf.
So they should nave been able to respond quicker.
Sounds ok

[Zippy]

A System similar to SAAS's Cat A and Cat B Alerts over GRN could be trialed to use in similar scenarios today.

GRN 124: *emerg tones* Domestic Fire Aldgate, Crews from Aldgate and Bridgewater.

And appliance in earshot on the road, with a crew, with the right crew, within reason should be able to call up on air for the job and track priority 2 towards the location.

(Just an Idea)
