have had to call the services numerous times myself for VAs right outside my house, first one actually came through the fence and ended up on its roof just centimetres from the lounge room my parents had been sitting in, and a couple of rollovers right on the corner we live on as well as cars into the creek, aaah good times.

Apologies slightly off topic... I've noticed lately Murray/B MFS have been having some serious crewing issues, on the weekend they were responded to a kitchen fire and it took them around 10mins to request more crew for first appliance and around 14-15mins to get CFS responded and then this morning it was a rubbish fire and it took i think 15-20 minutes to default to CFS again.

This is a pretty serious issue, if we can't raise a crew in the CFS within 8-9mins the bulk of us would have turned out another brigade but why is it that retained MFS get so much longer???

Is it left up to the local station as to whether they respond other resources or does Adelaide fire handle that??

ego? pride?

believe its the same as CFS, we acknowledge the call with MFS or SOCC then its on that persons head to ensure the trucks get out the doors.

Yep Strikeathird,

Was quite a busy day.

It's strange sometimes how all the action can happen at the same time or 24 hour period!

Also in reply to Mundcfs comment about the "little black thing" annoying the hell out of you, it's obviously gone off way to many times in our household as we have a Rainbow Lorikeet as a pet that can perfectly mimic tone 1 AND tone 7.

Really great when she does a pager "test" of her very own! :-D

There is some serious call numbers!
I wasn't aware that some of those stations pulled so many calls. :-o

We hit our 500 the other night. :-)

A "Good intent call" Is when someone calls in a false alarm with good intentions, as opposed to bad intentions (Malicious False Alarm).  For example, if a neighbour calls in a cat up a tree, but when we get there the owner tells us its the cats favourite sitting spot, and it comes down at night... ;)
