Some people may carry their gear in their vehicles because they work 10kms or so from the station and if a BA job goes down they can head straight to the scene and meet up with the appliance(s). ( Unfortunatly some of us brigades don't have huge amounts of BA operators so every single one counts).

Someone might want to steal it so that they could could imitate being a firey to carry out criminal acts. Fireys are one of the most trusted profesions in oz so they say.

Maybe they have to do a weekend training course first...

1909195 is the pager capcode for Salisbury_Info (nothing to do with appliance numbers)

mengcfs · « **Reply #35 on:** August 16, 2006, 11:47:05 AM »

Is there a list of pager capcodes

in particular CFS.

Last I Heard Was That PBI Shouldn't Have Been Issued As They Have Still Not Worked Out The Cleaning Process. This Came From Group Who Were Advised By SHQ. I Believe There Are Only 2 Groups That Have Not Given Out PBI.

CFS_Firey · « **Reply #37 on:** August 16, 2006, 06:11:43 PM »

There are cleaning instructions in the booklet that comes with the gear, and SAMFS have been cleaning theirs since they got it last year.... I doubt cleaning is the issue here...

mengcfs · « **Reply #38 on:** August 17, 2006, 09:39:13 AM »

Well, August is here, well past the deadline for distribution and we still haven't seen ours

SA Firey · « **Reply #39 on:** August 17, 2006, 10:25:50 AM »

Latest policy on PBI Gold for cleaning.....must be bagged up with your name on it and station and sent to your Regional Office at brigades expense and then sent on to Lion for cleaning...however they did say you can clean them in a front loading washing machine.Regional offices will supposedly have loan gear(10 sets)of NOMEX GEAR to swap until you get yours back.(Lead time about 3 weeks)Gee wouldnt want a sudden influx of them coming in would you..brigades might get caught short if they get a structure job

CFS_Firey · « **Reply #40 on:** August 17, 2006, 11:10:14 AM »

What happened to Lion Apparel providing a spare set of PBI Gold in your size? And honestly, why does it take 3 WEEKS to get cleaned? that's terrible..

Toast · « **Reply #41 on:** August 17, 2006, 01:40:16 PM »

Hmm, send it away from three weeks, or clean it at home in an afternoon....

I know what I'm doing!

Cyber - you need to get your G.O. to ring Amanda at Region One and speak to her, there is a process in place which is working well for cleaning the gear.

I know that your G.O. likes to be in control of EVERYTHING in that group but he has to let go a bit, why risk someone getting injured wearing non Australian Standard approved PPE when you've got the stuff sitting in a store room in a station.

Why would Region be giving you Nomex, most people should still have Nomex sitting on their hook anyway to wear to grassies. We found that if you want the stuff cleaned quickly drop it off at Lion yourself, we picked it up three days later all ready to go.

Received some info last night

All PBI is scheduled to be delivered no later then the end of september and will be accompanied by a FLASH HOOD!!!

And those that didnt receive flash hoods before will receive them in this time period as well.

my brigade got the last of theirs now and a flsah hood was definetely included so it is all happening.

rescue5271 · « **Reply #45 on:** August 18, 2006, 06:42:41 PM »

Dont think it should come out of brigade or group funds to sned the gear away for cleaning not our fault that it has to go all the way back to the city....via hong kong

SA Firey · « **Reply #46 on:** August 22, 2006, 07:49:22 PM »

Yep....and there are still brigades out there who still have Proban overalls one and two piece style,but also brigades who dont even have a BA set on the appliance.How can we serve our communities if we cant even get the gear to do the job

rescue5271 · « **Reply #47 on:** August 22, 2006, 08:26:41 PM »

I dont wear CABA,so is PBI GOLD the answer to our needs or have we been pushed into buying it???I think there was not much planning into how to do the cleaning of it and where and how it gets from point x to point a for cleaning and that there was no planning in spare gear while you wait 3 weeks for it to come back.

Well I Guess You Know Where I Am From. I Have Already Had 2x Structure Fires In Nothing But Proban Cause Thats All I Have. Nothing Major But We Have Been Told That We Can't Have Nomex, But Can't Have Our PBI Yet Either.

I Will Just Keep Fighting The Fires & Wait And See What Happens. Overall I Am Not That Concerned Cause If I Think Something Is Risky Enough That I Need The New PBI I Won't Put Myself In That Suitation.
