i guess that depends on whether its 'out of control'...

but out act only gives us power to act against the residents wishes, without police involvement, inside the fire season...

The rule about towing with CFS appliances came about because some had ripped off their bullbars etc and damaged private vehicles while doing so,as snatch straps etc were not secured in the correct location.This applies to private vehicles as CFS will not indemnify anyone who does it and causes damage to a private vehicle hence its not allowed.I have towed many a CFS vehicle out of a bog,creek crossing while on the fireground,and appliances with flat batteries due to drivers not winding the revs up at an incident when running all the revolving  lights,spotlights,pump etc.     

Something we should all be concerned about is NO JUMPER LEADS on appliances as standard stowage :-o

we carry jumper leads on both trucks anyway... and although theyve never been used on the trucks, we have had to jump start group vehicles for the GOs a few times.....  :roll:

LOL - weve also had issues with our battery isolaters a few times in the past... i can remember rocking up to the station a few times, and once we got a few bods, having to push start the appliance through the car park... LMAO

Yeah, we've had to jump our truck out of the station a couple of times because someone has left the isolating switch on...unfortunately, there is an incline once you get out of the shed..hard to push  :x

Don't you leave your trucks plugged in to trickle chargers?  Or don't they work if the truck isn't isolated?

they are plugged in, but i believe the radios and radio chargers (which turn on when the battery is unisolated, draw more power than the trickle charge trickles...

Ha good luck to the SES last couple of times this has happened they didn't want to know about the job. And it is a little soft down there at the moment to even consider trying to pull them out. Honestly i don't think this should be even contemplated as a job is it really worth the risk of getting an emergency vehicle bogged trying to get out some inexperinced f**kwit who shouldn't be driving where they are.

 :lol: :lol:. Plus it helps get your call rate up when the local copper is an active member in their unit. The amount of jobs they get called to in Goolwa that they aren't needed for is ridiculous.
