oh nice mede!

hey rob, you almost got another call the other day! it was at CHH mill, why didn"t you guys get called?

rescue5271 · « **Reply #78 on:** May 24, 2006, 03:12:58 PM »

was only an alarm,two brigades and the site fire crew....

Robert-Robert34 · « **Reply #79 on:** May 24, 2006, 05:42:12 PM »

I was suprised as well probie after seeing that message on the pager site

But what Blinky said is true you only need 1 or 2 appliances for a simple private alarm if it was a big fire then we would have been called

medevac · « **Reply #80 on:** May 24, 2006, 05:50:40 PM »

surely there is a set response for such jobs at the mill...

PF_ · « **Reply #81 on:** May 24, 2006, 05:52:07 PM »

Even the mill has snubbed Kalangadangadoo

Robert-Robert34 · « **Reply #82 on:** May 24, 2006, 05:57:42 PM »

There is a set response medevac but when it comes to calling out brigades here in Wattle Division they have to be sure if brigades have a crew

Ask Blinky this and he will say a similar or different thing

No Probie the mill has snubbed Kalangadoo it probably some steam or dust that activated the alarm

Speaking of which i always thought that mills like CHH and GTFP had their own emergency response crews

medevac · « **Reply #83 on:** May 24, 2006, 06:05:01 PM »

well there is a 'penola forest' fire station at nagwarry, presumably this is linked with the mill?

robert, for the third time, i think you mean PF!

Medevac Penola Forest Brigade used to be stationed at the mill many years ago before getting a depot built but they weren't responsible for fires within the mill premises only the pine plantations surrounding Nangwarry

I know for a fact that KCA out at Tantnoola has their own industrial brigade which is run by CFS volunteers who work at the mill

Think about how many thousands of dollars worth in equipment could be saved from damage by fire if South East mills like CHH had their own industrial brigades

ok cool

rescue5271 · « **Reply #88 on:** May 24, 2006, 08:22:56 PM »

Penola forest is a SA forest brigade with 3 firekings not there for use at private fire alarms...

F.B.R.T · « **Reply #89 on:** May 24, 2006, 09:44:26 PM »

The Fireking's would look great rocking up at private alarm Bill!

Well.... that statement certainly covers all the bases....

probie_boy · « **Reply #91 on:** May 25, 2006, 10:08:00 AM »

so penola forest used to be stationed in the mill, but had nothing to do with the mill itself...plain bizarre

Robert-Robert34 · « **Reply #92 on:** May 25, 2006, 04:31:28 PM »

They were stationed at the mill probie because their new depot was being designed/built

steved01 · « **Reply #93 on:** May 30, 2006, 04:45:39 PM »

The Penola Forest brigade were never stationed at the Nangwarry Mill.

They were stationed at the Penola Forest Headquarters 6km north of Nangwarry and then had a new depot built in Nangwarry and moved in there about 1996.

The penola Forest Brigade, like Mount Burr Forest Brigade and Mount Gambier Forest Brigade are formed by ForestrySa as full CFS Brigades manned by Corporate staff to fight forest and other rural fires that may effect the timber industry. They have no urban capacity other than as a water carrier for an urban Brigade.

Forestry fire fighters train exclusivekly on rural firefighting and specialise in it.

Cheers all
