It seems to me that MFS comms are still stuffing things up, talk about the closest and most appropriate rescource, that call should have been SEAFORD (fire/rapid interventiuon), Aldinga (rescue) Mc Vale (2nd Fire) and CD439 (2nd Rescue)!!

When will they get it right!

I think only Seaford and Mc Vale could have just gone to it, since it was a "vehicle accident/MVA" rather than RCR..Comcen probably got told that there were no entrapments.

From the looks of it, the job was dispatched according to the response information that was placed into the system by CFS...

According to the Road Crash Rescue Directory - if the address states McLaren Vale, the correct response is McLaren Vale for Fire and Aldinga Beach for rescue...

Pixie, seaford aint rescue... get over it. Rapid intervention is not Rescue.

Response for Maclaren Vale (location entered) should have been MacVale and Aldinga to begin with by the looks of it (macvale = local fire, aldinga = first rescue), but i fail to see why you would respond Seaford, unless the road is  actually Seaford area.

The response is perfect, couldn't get any more perfect, Seaford will never get called, unless Mclaren Vale didn't respond and only as fire cover, RIV isn't rescue, there is no class for RIV, your either Rescue or your NOT.

If the RCR directory says McLaren Vale for fire and Aldinga Beach for rescue, then responding Willunga for rescue is clearly wrong (the Seaford RIV issue aside)...

However, as others have said, the responses are pre-determed for all roads, and those pre-determined responses have been checked and approved by CFS, so the MFS CRD guys and girls can't really be blamed if it's wrong...

Everyone of your posts pixie, your either bashing the MFS, the CFS, your own service Chief Officer, heirachy staff.. -anything else you want to whinge about while you are at it?  Did the dog across the road bark too loud last night?



For hecks sake, the service in your area, the area (presumably) that you & your family and friends live in, is getting a greater level of service! .. That means more help when the sheit hits the fan!.. Why are you complaining so much about things which are only making things safer in your community?

1)  The RCR directory goes by suburb, so the response was correct according to that.

2)  The correct procedure for changing the database is for your group to sit down with the other group in question, agree that it needs to change and then submit the paperwork to region.  It was not an MFS error, it was an error in the data provided to them.  Whinging on here won't fix it - it needs to go through the correct chain.

Your posts on this matter are pointless and are just stirring scheiße that doesn't need to be stirred.

1) In regards to response into others area - (In pixies case).. Other services/stations are responding due to a previously identified problem.

2) In regards to this thread - No one is being responded who shouldn't..   Is Quarry Rd MCLAREN VALE in your area Pix?  .. No, its not according to the RCRD!

Your post hasn't pointed out MFS stuffing up anything (the comcen operators are just going by the response guidelines they have).. It's pointed out that you have totally stuffed up this post and don't understand the response format or criteria / system which response decisions are made under!

hence probably why there was dual response...borders of response area's may aswell be over-responded, rather than having several possible defaults.

Did the job get done? If so lets get on with life and move past it. As i have said in the past, i don't care who comes to rescue/help me, just as long as someone turns up....
Well done to all volunteers and full timers for doing their job and that includes comcen.

Just venting my thoughts.

Sorry

Willunga were sent to back up McLaren Vale for fire cover.

And then the Rescue brigade was responded 4 minutes after that?  I'm sorry, but its still not a perfect response, and it can certainly get better...

I believe the complaint was that Seaford weren't responded, even though it was allegedly their area - not that it was over-responded.. ;)

As Jono said it's Seafords area, but if the caller said Mclaren vale as the suburb to comcen then Mclaren Vale is going to get the job as Quarry Rd goes through Mclaren vale & Old Noarlunga. If the caller said Old Noarlunga then this thread wouldn't exist. Its not something I'd be losing sleep over pixie.

I think we also have to remember is that we now have some old OCO staff working in comcen,also if the caller said the town name then the town will always get paged first.

Seaford is not in the RCRD,and secondly if you are not directly involved in the incident at hand,it shouldnt effect you so as long as a fire and rescue brigade were responded to the job.

I say again the public dont care what colour appliance,what brigade,as long as they get HELP :-D

If the caller said Old Noarlunga then this thread wouldn't exist. Its not something I'd be losing sleep over pixie.

Spot on Jase, Quarry road Old Noarlunga is in zone 83B which would have attracted a response of Aldinga Beach Rescue, 1 x MFS from Christie Downs and 1x Seaford appliance. If the job was put in as Quarry road McLaren Vale then Mclaren Vale and Aldinga Beach should have been on the initial response. Obviously in this case Aldinga Beach weren't on the automatic response and I guess someone has requested them.

Quarry road is an interesting one because the suburb boundary runs down the middle of it, Ideally it should be setup as a dual response road so that both brigades get responded automatically, but then you may also end up with MFS also responding so you could get four appliances to a 1st alarm MVA (MFS, Aldinga Beach, McLaren Vale and Seaford).

BRING ON SACAD !!!
