But (if you ask them...) they weren't there to rescue the DEAD cow, just protect the other rescuers from being washed away  :roll:

"...rescue the DEAD cow..".. when was this ??
Last one I know of was a successful calf from a mine shaft.
Was it awhile ago ??

lives at Pt Noarlunga South.

My personal opinion only.

What fuel does the chopper use and how do CFS get it? or are there reserves for this situation? and doesn't fuel have a shelf life?

Jet A-1, and there probably a store of it somewhere in the town.  As for how they get it there's probably a procedure setup so they can access it whenever.

I understand from turning them out in the past that the company who runs the helicopters store fuel with the CFS and they have a tandem trailer and tow it with the group car. It does have a shelf life, but I am sure they have a process in place to replace it.

There are several Brigades around that provide a 'fuel dump' for the helicopters.  Mostly Brigades who are on the fringe of where the choppers' fuel capacitiy limits.  My Brigade used to have a dump.

A LATE-NIGHT blaze which gutted an Elizabeth Grove house is being treated as suspicious by police.

Emergency services were called to the fire in Marnhull St just after 10pm last night.

Three firetrucks and more than 20 firefighters were called to extinguish the fire. Damage to the house was extensive but police said no one was inside at the time.

Gee, how many firies per appliance! :lol:

I would be more interested to know where the Railway store and Bagara are in Renmark...

Renmark probably only called Paringa for their icevests. If they wanted someone to do some work they probably would have called Berri...
