Word on the street is the 25th of October.  I'm guessing the government will praise, and everyone else will curse?

Dates are not set by the services, that would be coming straight from the ministers office.

Im sure there will always be those who disagree with the system and have a whinge about losing control, ie no more ALERTS calls, no more 'just going for a look' as every dispatch will be as per SOP, no more choosing who comes to back you up [unless its a specialist resource] etc...

But, it will be much better than the system we currently have. Finally CFS will have response data in the CAD.

yes the minister announced 25th Oct a few weeks back. So either it will go live on the 25th and everyone will just make it work, or it will be delayed until it's actually ready. Time will tell which way it goes...

no doubt it will be a much better system. I think you're being a bit idealistic (hope you're right but somehow I doubt it) but again we will see...

It will be as good as the data that is entered, some brigades and groups won't cope with it as they can't just do what they like, all the responses are based on the agencies SOP's....no argument as that is what your agency has agreed to.

nah mate, those points are concrete and endorsed by CFS apparently. No more ALERTS to slow down responses, and no more ALERTS to give any chance to reduce responses. And as stated no more picking and choosing backup, just upgrades of alarm level.

Will there still be a paging website or will that cease to exist?

They are still using the same pagers, so there will always be someone out there scanning and re-broadcasting.

Looks like it, here is some of the pager messages sent during training.

If these test messages are anything to go by, it looks like the character count per message has been reduced to around 120, which will result in most messages being split over two or three pages. Also it looks as though the second and third part of the message is now sent first, so the first part of the message will be the last received.

I may be way off, but it seems that they are going to send everything to the pagers, judging on the possible daily incident number. Event number, I presume is the type of medical emergency. I wonder whether the Adelaide Uni Accident research will be on the pagers?

doesnt look like it, there was a crash at prospect which 2 saas units were called and you couldnt tell weather it was va or not as there was no crash research after it.

I'm going to take a stab in the dark and suggest that the *EV:XXX* is the case type. Some of the PTS/ESS stuff that has been coming up this morning has TFR in there, so each case type now has a number allocated to it. Taking a lot of learning to read the new data!!
"is that negative as in yes, or negative as in no" - actual radio transmission from the field.......

Last Road Crash Research page was at 00:04 this morning SAAS told all crews at NetCall that SACAD is live
