who says there's a lack?  are you talking about replacing lost/stolen ones or additional ones above your allocation?

Region 1. I have been waiting on at least two for replacing lost/stolen ones since October last year. If there isn't a lack why aren't they being issued? Region have confirmed they have the paperwork.

At the last Group meeting I went to in March, we were advised that pager orders from December onwards are not yet filled.   No reason given at the meeting as to why.

Use the chain of command and they have been stalled at the region level now for two years. No problems at getting them repaired but replaced due to being stolen or requiring extra due to having more volunteers I am slowly finding out how long that piece of sting is.

As the telphone directory says we are professional protecting the community so lets rely off ringing members to get them to respond or SMS them hey it may take a while but what the rush it may not really be an emergency  :-P

If this is so then I hope as a service we feel embarrassed! Are we a Dad Army service and if so then it must be too close to the truth to admit how true it is or something would of been done about it by now

Its strange there is so many varied problems, we have several spare pagers, and always get them back fixed in a fairly quick time.

Funnily enough I used to organise repairs and new pagers when I worked for the CFS, I also happened to have left the CFS 2 years ago..... :wink:

The latest news is that pagers being sent in for repair are not necessarily being fixed, and sent back if someone deems it not repair worthy. :roll:

Time to reinstall that fire siren on the station...... Teh pager that i haev at the moment has been in and out of the repair shop for sometime goes away to get fixed comes back works for a week or so then nothing....Its a ongoing problem and to think they said these pagers would only last 3 years so we are well over due on new ones......

They generally don't send you the same pager back, normally they just clone yours and send you a new one. I don't think we have ever received the same pager back in the last few years, this is good because it means we are slowly getting rid of all the old model units and replacing them with the newer higher sensitivity units.

Or they pull a repaired one from the pile and code that and send it to you.

Just as a side note, I see Mylor have managed to get themselves back onto the Orange network......funnily enough whilst they were on the GRN like everyone else they were still turning out.

Fingers crossed the CFS gets this paging problem sorted out soon before the 2009/2010 fire season otherwise we'll more than likely have to resort to using station sirens to alert brigade members  :|

Sorry to break it to you guys; to many in my local group have been getting pagers back that were cloned from other brigades as they did not do the cloning properly and they kept going off for the original brigades test and alert paging

What I heard is that as of a few weeks ago, CFS was out of spare pagers, & was
trying to scrounge more from other departments.  Just to tide us over until new
ones are approved & purchased.  Meanwhile, there are repair delays because there
are no spares to pull off the pile & return with the wrong CAP codes. Each one
has to be fixed (or written off) and returned to its brigade. 

As it was probably in here that I heard this, you can discount it as being a
load of bovine manure...  :-D

We had one sent off for repair and it came back with the Stirling address in it, and the member who had it responded to the station and wondered why noone else had turned up :lol:....obviously didn't read his pager first :-P

What is going on with these damn pagers, 2 month wait now for repairs, we don't have spares, and more are breaking down everyday, not bad for a so called emergency service. Come on, roll out the new ones or do something !!

CFS are changing to a new pager. Cant remember which one, but apparently it is available in small allotments, so several hundred are meant to be on the way.
