yeah nice idea broadmatrix not that you havent had your share of rants on here i guess this is a place for people to let of steam about issues no matter how minor i reckon just about every body on this forum has had a spit about someone/something, or servic.

so if you dont want people to have there say close the forum we all know everything has its reasons each station for each service has had to get things set up to suit the way they work at the moment working for the CFS/SES/SAAS isn't always good as we all know and even though we are not paid it still gets stressful MFS are paid im sure they get stressed when things dont work same with SAPOL and Career SAAS let people blow of steam if they dont blow it off they will quit and soetimes its better to write it down show people you dont know that well and walk away.

The value of people having a rant/spit is two fold ,it lets the person vent and god knows we all need to do that sometimes, but it also opens up our own perfect little worlds to criticism, you certainly don't have to agree with it! but it might just make you reflect on the way you do business and possibly find a better way .

Cheers Jaff
Better make that three ways, it is fun to have rant/spit sometimes, you got that you bunch of stupid,filtered, filtered, filtered , filtered tossers

There is nothing wrong with venting if something happens to you, but getting your knickers in a knot because you think that some brigade halfway across the state didn't do something right, or exactly by the book is just silly. Then there is the rampant commcen bashing which achieves nothing...

Thanks Jaff - now I know how to correctly describe myself

cheers

I'll go with the filtered bit but you can keep the tossing to yourself!
I prefer to think of myself and cool calm and collected under strain and the rest of you filters can go and filter yourself

Actually venting is good for the system, everyone needs someone to be able to do this with and I guess I am lucky as I have someone I can have a grumble with after a job or about an issue and it gets it out of the system. This should be a safe place to have a whinge without getting jumped on.
BUT.. you do always need to remember that just going on what is on the page does not reflect what is actually going on on the ground. I know I have paged for 2 crew members to go to an incident and what you would not have seen was the 3 crew had who were extra from the first truck that left and were available to go on another truck.
It is okay to ask it as a question but not to damn it without having all the information

boom tish....

and the tide comes in again!

yes - I've had rants - I don't deny it! But when topics are based around what one organisation did or didn't do "because that's how I think it should happen...."

...it gets a little tiresome after a while!

and numbers hit the nail on the head again! smart bloke that one!

Hypocritical bunch aren't we?
Taking the piss out of comms for not spelling so well,

I kwouldn't be able to count the number of spelling mistakes i haave made on this forum, and I am not getting a crew dispatched to an emergency so not rushing and have plenty of time to think about it...

Or as Colin Thiele so eloquently put it... "The February Dragon is awaking from it's sleep and it is looking for fuel to feed its hunger"

(ok i sorta ad libbed but ya get the point... lol

You gotta make the move up here COMP000 lovely 26 degree days now...

filtered freeezing down here and very windy just waiting for the snow to fall...Naracoorte group sent two appliances to the fire and a CFA strike team came over the border as it was not the far from the border..Did not go as we are house moving....

That dont sound too good cause Ash Wednesday 2 memorial service is being held on Saturday

Crownie24 · « **Reply #671 on:** February 13, 2008, 09:19:59 PM »

Errr I didn't think about that.....So long as the wind stays down..

Footy · « **Reply #672 on:** February 13, 2008, 09:21:55 PM »

And the people in the Hills have all but forgotten about it too...
Can We start a thread on how we are going to get those people to actually clean up their properties??
I have friends who live near Scotch College and that fire that went through last month got really close to their house and they had no idea how bad it could have been, they didn't even realise how serious it was when leaves that were smouldering were landing on their tennis court...

Footy · « **Reply #673 on:** February 13, 2008, 09:23:59 PM »

I'll change my statement, a lot of people certainly wouldnt have forgotten (certainly wasnt meant to sound like tha), some people who were barely alive, might not understand the implications, I have friends near Hahndorf who lost everything, and they are serious about their fire protection, as are a lot of others who lost things in that fire

but the message does need to get to those who don't really remember it

Jono · « **Reply #674 on:** February 14, 2008, 11:41:01 AM »

Heard on scanner.

CAT2 1125 South Road, St Mary's fire station

"Works accident, patient injured using angle grinder"

I wonder if it was a FF doing an odd job? Oh the paper work!
