Regional LOPS determine the state LOP by FDI's and/or Operational Activity.

State LOP, determined by Regional LOPS, wchich are in turn determined by Regional FDIs or operational activity...

from memory....region LOP goes to Red above some magical actual FDI number (50 I think). State goes to Red i think when 2 or more Regions are at Red . That does stuff like activates the SCC and recalss some or all of the oncall staff and other nifty stuff like opens the hotline to Dominos and Angel Fingers In-Office Massages for the SCC staff, and sets Foxtel to the Big Screen :wink:

I heard the "Super Dooper HQ Semi-Firemen/Sandwich Making/Paper Shredding/Volunteer Secretarian that think they run the entire CFS Brigade" get all excited and camp by the front doors of Waymouth St like 43 year old women at a Robbie Williams concert :evil:

FYI - State LOP's also relate to non fire threats e.g weather(storms/floods), reduced crews available(when SA units deployed to assist NSW SES in 2007 LOP was orange), other activities that could cause problems(increased population in a remote area -eclipse at Ceduna for example) & of course terror threat.
And yes Orange causes recall of staff & increased security & red is lock down after all you wouldn't want some unauthorised fuckwit stuffing things up would you?
As for the comments about the state HQ vollies, I'm sure they do an important job hanging scheiße on them is really constructive isn't it?
Its just as bad as US grunts calling everyone else REMF's, remember it takes more than the front line troops to run any organisation!
cheers
