Just for the record.  When we established that SES were not required, we advised MFS to issue a stop, which they did.  Some time later, after our appliance had returned to station, we observed an SES unit (Noarlunga?) driving away from the scene.  I assume they had received the stop page and continued P2 to scene, found nobody there and all OK, so went home.  We were aware of SES's response to the initial call by the 5 digit code at the end of the pager message "72820".

Just a quick comment on the SES stand down.

When I was a SES Member at Murray Bridge we had a stand down policy, that we could only be stop called by the agency that called us.

If the Ambos called re a RCR - we would call up on air and get told to stop (via CFS Comms - from info from CFS on scene) - no one trapped. - The Ambos wanted us to assist with casualty handling or lighting not just rescue - 12 Casualties at the RCR. If we listened to the stop call we would let down the Ambos.

Some times we are at the job before we could confirm the responding agencies stop call.

With RCR it is better to be safe than sorry.

Complete list of SES Unit 5-digit codes that MFS use, is up on the wall of the SES SCC. But I was unable to copy it during last callout. Will grab a copy when next in the building. Will then post on this forum and let Matt know for his website.

Not sure why if it was for USAR then so would Sturt & TTG have 029.
Have asked payed staff to follow up but have heard nothing back.
I know some of the old RCR Hydraulic gear is going to metro units for USAR maybe thats what you had seen. But as you are aware there isn't much standardisation down that end of the world :evil:
Yep were they doing a leadership course? Mind you most of those people are not in SES any longer - its a totally different unit from two years ago :wink:
Anyway cheers

Yep I know they have CS & Vertical (like other units) but since when have they been RCR?
Only spoke to their boss 2 months ago & he didn't mention it - as a matter of fact he said he admired what the RCR teams do.
However if you are right I stand corrected - the RCR trg team will be interested too :wink:

Yep thats what I thought - like other non RCR units they end up with the old RCR gear so they can use it for USAR & stuff. Not that I agree with it but its hard for Metro units to get on the course. However units like Noarlunga,Sturt, TTG could definetly back up RCR brigades due to the other training they do.
thanks for the info cheers

Thats nice, but back to the original comment. It was my understanding that callsigns ending in 9, 19 and 029 were to designate RCR resources as listed in the RCR directory not USAR, Vertical, and other types of rescue???

Yep sadly theory doesn't quite match reality :-(
Some "9" units within the 3 services may claim RCR status & be listed in the directory as a RCR resource, however as I have said in previous posts they don't meet the standard i.e trained operators, incorrect equipment,etc.
There seems to be no interest in rectifying this problem by any of the services :- check out todays task at Salt creek for example(the stop call in particular)unless of course its for empire building reasons :wink:.
Until regular external audits are conducted by the RCR committee and problems rectified, the situation will remain.
As for NOA029 they are not an RCR resource, they are listed in our directory as NOA020 (we have a copy of every unit,brigade & stations code).
So obviously when it was entered into the system it was wrongly keyed in.
There are some other examples of incorrect pager codes, but on the whole not that many.

Doesn't the problem arise with 'Rescue' being a general term used across three services? As far as the fire services go, a 'Rescue' truck is capable of RCR primarily, and then maybe other things. In SES, a 'Rescue' truck is a decent description of 99% of their vehicles, regardless of its RCR capability.

This is where standards come in to play, and maybe people should try to not apply the same numbers/terms between services.
To think they employed me as a drooling retard...
