We now have the keys to the Dennis, but it will not be operational for a few weeks for fire calls until everyone knows how to use it. So far I like it.

Scania_1 · « **Reply #9 on:** March 18, 2007, 11:26:18 AM »

Yeah give Seaford a break. BTW what appliance are you giving back the 24P?

5271rescue · « **Reply #10 on:** March 18, 2007, 11:40:12 AM »

Hope they enjoy there new toy,so why will it take two weeks for all members to know how to use it??? I dont mean to be rude but you would think that the nice people at STC could let them take it up there and play with it ....

Its all nice and sparkly now with seaford pumper stuck to it.
at the moment our logistics car is at seaford so we have 24, 24p and pumper, we have three months to decide if we want to use it then if we decide to keep it the rescue gear goes on pumper and we go back to one pumper and rural.

i dont think it will take 2 weeks to learn to use, as we have been mucking around with it today and yesterday, we get new gear for it monday or tuesday to get it ready to use, but we also have a brigade meeting tomorrow so its better to over estimate than under, all though going to the stc sounds good.

As Mel stated, Seaford logistics car will be at Mawson base for the next 3 months while we are trialing the dennis, so currently we are a three truck station, (with only two operational), i had a look at almost everything on the truck 2day, and it all seems pretty easy to understand, hopefully it will be operational within about a week, it all just depends on how long it takes to get some nesecary gear!

But i dont think training the memembers will be an issue!

calm down - im pretty sure the comment was in relation to the truck, not seafood.

Pixie · « **Reply #15 on:** March 18, 2007, 08:58:29 PM »

Here is a pic taken today by FF T. March just after the truck was stickered up and being re-stocked

I dont wish to cause a storm here but....

If the MFS is ultimately taking over this area then why is the CFS putting a pumper in here? Is this to provide a support to the MFS or will Seaford still primarily have control of the area, therefore under the SFEC require a pumper?

The only reason i ask is because we complain about duplication of resources yet to me it appears to be happening here.

TillerMan · « **Reply #17 on:** March 20, 2007, 10:57:51 AM »

Could they make the SEAFORD PUMPER bit any bigger, i like the small writing alot better.

Camo your right it does seem a bit like a last ditch attemt by cfs to make it look like Seaford at least have the appliances to cover the area...

bajdas · « **Reply #18 on:** March 21, 2007, 04:27:32 PM »

Hopefully it will satisfy the Seaford Rise Residents Association who have been in the Messenger press lately.

firedragon · « **Reply #19 on:** March 22, 2007, 12:04:11 PM »

at least the rumors are true seaford now have the Dennis truck from mt barker but a Little mi ft that the stowage kit wasn't up to scratch. lucky we have been able to restow it with some of our gear. so we can bring it on line sooner and then see what the seaford rise chairman says....

SA Firey · « **Reply #20 on:** March 22, 2007, 10:27:51 PM »

Dont worry about what anyone says,as a lot of it is filtered stirring and designed to intimidate you.IGNORE THEM

pumprescue · « **Reply #21 on:** March 24, 2007, 01:36:37 PM »

I don't think its wise advice to ignore, perhaps see what the issues are and work to find a happy medium.

The Seaford Rise Residents Group won't be happy until there is a 24/7 fire station, with a fulltime crew, its simple as that. No amount of vehicles or good will is going to change that.

Like I have said before, work to your capabilities and you will find that you have plenty to do once SAMFS move in. You had 2 4x4 appliances, with the way crewing is going these days, you will fid plenty of work to do in regards to strike teams, campaign fire, rural incidents in and around the southern area.

So you might not get to go to alarms, or mva's or house fires. Who know's , it only takes a 2nd alarm down south and SAMFS are stretched.

Work towards gearing yourself up for this to occur, fine to have the Dennis now, but where does that leave you when SAMFS do take over, with a diminshed service by only having 1 4x4 appliance, and trust me, if the Dennis becomes a permenant fixture you WILL lose the 24P. Logic and common sense would suggest, that even though the Dennis is nice to have, its more benificial for your future to get a 34P , its the best of both worlds, and we all know SAMFS still need us for rural work, no matter what.

Wouldn't you sleep better at night knowing that? Your future is almost certain then, where as now it will end up being a case of doubling up and you might find that your no longer justified.

Think about it, don't start ranting at me and calling me a so and so. I have been around long enough to now see the logic in situations like this, have been through it before. Getting your hackles up and abusing people solves nothing and just makes you look stupid.

Is Seaford Rise a suburb or a new development? or something else all together

mack · « **Reply #23 on:** March 24, 2007, 03:34:29 PM »

seaford rise is a suburb, however there is also a "Seaford Rise Residents Group"

danny · « **Reply #24 on:** March 27, 2007, 09:07:52 PM »

Pumprescue why don't you buzz off back to the planet you have arrived here from and give Seaford Brigade a break. No matter what you sling at us it will not stick. Our members are stronger then you can possibly imagine and we will continue to provide a worthwile and invaluable service to our community. So take some good advise and sit there quietly and look the fool than open your mouth once again and remove all doubt. YOU AND YOUR PETTY QUOMENTS ARE NOT HELPING ANY OF THE SERVICES CAUSES YOU SUPER HERO YOU
