Seriously this problem is continuing to happen often, whether the call was first taken by SAAS or SAPol a 15 minute delay calling a rescue resource is completely unacceptable in these times, when will something be done regarding this??

Also, who are SAAS Rescue? or do they mean SOT?

Probably rescue 51/52 helicopters

SA Firey · « **Reply #3428 on:** December 11, 2012, 11:01:14 PM »

To clarify it was a Medstar Retrieval Team with an SOT Member onboard in Rescue 51.Two elderly patients transported to RAH after an extensive extrication time, with the car virtually encapsulating the driver.

Both in stable condition.

See this happen quite often... Initial response type is Minor Cleanup, then quickly changed to RCR. Why?

probably an on the ball officer requesting an upgrade of an incident, lost count of how many nil entrap accidents we have been called to that have required "cutting".
Could also be new information come in causing the change in job classification.

I believe CFS SOP is that a rescue resource will be responded to any vehicle accident, until nil entrapment is confirmed by an emergency service on scene. This was part of the RCR resource directory but now that's been replaced by SACAD I'm not sure where these policies come from.

MFS don't have the "rescue to every job" policy, so they have a 'minor cleanup' response type, but they're not supposed to use this for CFS jobs.

Alan (Big Al) · « **Reply #3432 on:** December 15, 2012, 08:16:21 PM »

i know within our group a rescue resource will not take a stop if there are people still in the vehicles even if they are stated to be not trapped

I've heard the same thing, we got called to a Minor Clean up a few months ago, which immediately got updated to RCR, which got a rescue appliance sent as well. Though when we (Both us and the Rescue) arrived, the Ambo's were just leaving with the sole occupant, and SAPOL had already set up. So I'd think the 'nil entrapment' call might have to come from us/RCR person. Not sure though.

Not a CFS SOP thing, purely to do with RCRD and the metro MFS boundary being used as the border for its policy.

All jobs outside of metro MFS have to be sent as an RCR, every now and then an operator inadvertently sends a minor cleanup for an MVA and so they are quickly upgraded to rectify it.

There is still much confusion as to what the responses across all of SA should be for road accidents, especially since CAD came online. The RCR Comittee does not exist any longer, but the reasons the RCRD was created are still valid. It will be interesting to see what evolves.

Makes sense, I thought that was probably the reason.

Thanks all.

Weather Forecast less than accurate again! How can the Government expect everyday people to "PREPARE ACT SURVIVE" when the forecast Fire Danger Ratings are in accurate...I know weather is hard to predict but i think in this situation media releases should go out advising the community that infact the current FDI rating in your area is .... Some of the current FDI readings in some areas are twice as much as forecast!

Would Salisbury MFS nearly drive past this incident on way to port Adelaide?

Not nearly, right past. Seems they have been back to this fire a couple of times now. Unless they are all new fires?

Thought you would send Oakden or Woodville change of quarters too, would be closer than Salisbury.

Regardless of FDR there is still a huge number of resources in the hills. 5 trucks doesn't make much difference.

Cut them out the fleet than save some $$$$ that could be spent elsewhere

kiwifirefighter · « **Reply #3446 on:** January 01, 2013, 07:53:21 PM »

why cut out resources from a fleet when they can be used in different areas by strike teams. The areas where extra resources are allocated often have a high risk in terms of fire cover due to population, but with a higher population comes a higher number of people who would volunteer, so effectively creating a reserve army of firefighters would can respond to any area of the state and not drastically reducing the number of resources in the affected area
