District Officer in Regional SAMFS

[Skippy]

This is probably a bit of a stupid question, but do the Regional SAMFS areas like the mid north have a district officer? Cheers

[SA Firey]

Yes they do, Chris Smith is Commander Regional Operations amd D/O Rodis is District Officer.

Is the district officer for the Wallaroo, Moonta, Kadina area based in one of those regional stations?

Cheers

Each region has its own regional manager.

West Coast is Darryl Horsell (Pt Lincoln, Whyalla and Pt Augusta)

Mid North is Greg Stapel (Kadina, Kapunda, Tanunda, Wallaroo,Peterborough, Moonta,Pt Pirie)

South East is George Rodis (Mt Gambier, Victor Harbor, Murray Bridge)

Riverland is John Foody (Berri, Renmark and Loxton)

The mid north manager is the only one not based in the region as its easy enough to manage from Adelaide (actually the TC)

[Skippy]

do the regional managers have a special command car? And what incidents do these regional managers respond to?

cheers

The West Coast Regional Manager (was last time I heard) based in Whyalla and there is a Training Coordinator based in Port Lincoln (this officer is paid). The South East D/O is based in Mt Gambier and the Riverland D/O (again last time I heard) based in Renmark. All of the Regional Managers have their own vehicle and are usually the only paid officers that work in Regional areas. As for the attendance of the Regional Managers, they are usually seen at major fires as the incident controller of the fire ground.

Your are right about the west coast with the DO being based in Whyalla except there is a training coordinator in Whyalla and also one in Pt Lincoln

[Skippy]

What is the role of the training coordinator?

If you're interested, this is a youtube clip of Mount Gambier going through their yearly test with the training coordinator.
