Is this a relativly new addition to their response messages, or have i just been outstandingly unobservant? (DAILY INC. NO. 16)

[CFS_Firey]

I've only seen it today and yesterday... Perhaps the beginnings of the introduction of SACAD?

[Mike]

So, Im not going mad then ( I know its a matter of opinion  )

i was talking to one of our officers whos also from the MFS.

he told me the introduction of incident numbers into MFS response paging is an update to there system, allowing easier referencing to MFS jobs for upgrade requests, MSGs, etc... rather than calling in and saying "the grassfire near bobs place" or whatnot...

[2090]

Yes it was introduced yesterday so that jobs can be referred to by numbers, rather than locations, making things easier for both firies and SAMFS commcen. No impact on CFS.

[squiddy]

and how do we know its SAAS?

Because those numbers were attached to several SAAS messages during the day.

The MFS have transitioned to on-line (computerised) fire reports, (finally away from hand-written fire reports!). As part of the consultation process, the operators identified that when the radio operator had a page full of going jobs and appliances were calling in sit-reps, upgrades or stop messages, it would be harder (& time consuming) to select the correct incident from the daily incident list. This is because the calls are listed in call-number order, not by appliance. To alleviate this they suggested including the daily incident number into the dispatch message. (gulp - aghast... management actually consulted with and listened to the staff!!!)

This also means a change of radio protocols, requiring the appliances to say "Glynde 221, call number 16, From S/O Smith Stop for..." etc, allowing for the operator to select the incident first, then input the message in the right place.

It will also be a God-send when Multiple Incident Procedure is instigated, and the MIP log forms are returned to comcen for input into the system - straight to the call number listed by the crew on their MIP log.

Although it's not currently required, CFS/SES crews could quote the call number when acknowledging pager messages... might help if it's busy?!

[SA Firey]

OMG common sense is finally prevailing

[medevac]

interesting message from someone who obviously decided to page his troops before waiting for CFS to actually decalre the TFBs...

thanks for backing up my point that fire ban advice had not been issued, and better yet fire bans had not yet been declared at the point in timethat the message in question was sent 

another special message below;

21:12:18 07-12-06 To all FF. , Next 2 days total fire ban. , 2 App to respond all calls. , From SFF Hammond


it may be all well and good to presume it may be a fire ban on certain days... but at the same time saying that they are is stupid.

just one of those annoying things.

Even worse when it was the wrong location given in the first place

[Scania_1]

Yeah well they can only put on the pager the information they are given. Some people are vague or get confused when they ring emergency services.

[lilmiss_firey]

so do the brigades attend the incident (where it was said to be) if the wrong location was given like the example of the mva @ murray bridge???

eg... does mt barker go to the adelaide side of the freeway looking for the mva, then murray bridge goes to the freeway???

oh geee thanks mate, technically were all colleagues now wheres the GE...

[medevac]

so do the brigades attend the incident (where it was said to be) if the wrong location was given like the example of the mva @ murray bridge???

eg... does mt barker go to the adelaide side of the freeway looking for the mva, then murray bridge goes to the freeway???

i daresay barker would turn around and head toward murray bridge, considering they are already on the road.

[5271rescue]

[bittenyakka]

Well I saw a burnsid pager message for MVA and it said murray brighd side of tunnells
