The state is a tinderbox! We're heading for the worst year on record! These are the same conditions that were experienced before Ash Wednesday!

Did I miss anything?

sky crane currently on route...

misterteddy · « **Reply #15 on:** January 13, 2009, 02:00:56 PM »

what an absolute joke......a moderate sizes fire ( it can't even be called a big fire) and just about all the air assetts in the state are converged on one little bit of real estate.

Yeah yeah, I know its all as a response to Wangarry and the Coroner and all that crap......but u know....if someone else's town in SA burns today..then the same questions are going to be asked and the same barbs will be thrown....it's about time we had a really hard look at what we do with aircraft because this sort of kneejerk response is b/s. 100,000 people live in a bushfire prone zone called the Mt Lofty Ranges than do in a bit of mallee scrub on the outskirts of Pt Lincoln. Poor risk assessment here, imho. Sure...there will be public scrutiny of the decision, and even some tough questions, but it goes with making the tough calls.

have u ever been to port lincoln mr teddy? seen the industrial area on south side of lincoln which houses the multi million dollar fish farms and the fish factory?

Alan (Big Al) · « **Reply #17 on:** January 13, 2009, 02:29:57 PM »

My cousins house is 1 km north of where the fire is and knowing that area if the wind changes to a S/W or S there will be a huge risk to the public.
I dont think it been too big of an over reaction.

Bagyassfirey · « **Reply #18 on:** January 13, 2009, 02:38:56 PM »

thank you big al...after all it is The SOUTH AUSTRALIAN Country Fire Service...Not The Mount Lofty Country Fire Service

Pipster · « **Reply #19 on:** January 13, 2009, 03:06:34 PM »

And speaking to a few people involved in the IMT, the fire was "going like a rocket" and crews were struggling to get to it.

FDI at one point was over 100 - difficult conditions to fight any fire in.

Further news reports have indicated that at least 2 houses have been destroyed, along with a Tuna Processing Plant and numerous sheds.

I think sending some extra resources, including aerial resources is well & truly justified.

Im guessing the boredom of having no call outs today has gotten to you as well Katrina

misterteddy · « **Reply #24 on:** January 13, 2009, 06:49:02 PM »

yep....been there, worked there....the point is?

saw the vision tonight.....stick by my opinion.....yes it had big flames that attract newscrews....yes fdi blah blah....yes there was a couple of houses and multi million $$ factories (which you might say could have affored something in terms of their own level of self protection) affected.....but the risk to the town?....seriously??.....under a northerly travelling south.....coast line to the east...and a windchange through west to southwest.....u tell me where the danger is please?.....u might even get ur oysters grilled for ur dinner?....thats about it

I knew I'd get the response I did.......my friend has a house there so everything should be sent there....really?....what a level of justification is that?

Yes, we are the South Australian CFS.....and we left the rest of SA, with its ar_se hanging out.....big roll of the dice is all i'm saying
