Incident Operations / Kilburn fire
« on: December 28, 2008, 08:30:27 PM »
FOURTEEN new cars were destroyed in an $800,000 shed fire at Kilburn today.

Damage was caused to the cars and the Churchill Rd shed on the Advanced Plastic Recycling premises at Kilburn.
Another 78 cars which were inside the shed when the blaze began just after 4pm were saved.

Fire cause investigators have not yet confirmed the cause of the fire but believe it may have been an electrical fault.

The blaze took 46 firefighters about two hours to extinguish.

Incident Operations / Unley fire
« on: December 07, 2008, 12:23:44 PM »
A WILD blaze in an Unley duplex has caused more than a million dollars' damage and left a man fighting for his life in hospital with serious burns.

Emergency crews were called to the Cleland Ave blaze at 5.35am this morning and found flames pouring out the first floor of a family home.

Two adults and three teenage children were home when it took hold and the father was rushed to the Royal Adelaide Hospital in a critical condition.

Flames quickly spread into the roof cavity and caused extensive damage to the neighboring apartment, which was vacant while the new owners prepared to move in.

Currently on holidays, they had already filed the house with furniture and a large amount of other personal items. It is expected both properties will be demolished.
Racing downstairs, she was confronted by the shocking sight of her seriously burned neighbour and his devastated wife begging for help.

``I heard glass breaking and I heard running and I thought someone had thrown something through the window,'' she said.

``It just went up like a bomb. Everything sucked up like a vacuum.''

Mrs Chandler grabbed a garden hose in a vain attempt to douse the flames.

Her neighbours had moved to the street little more than a month earlier. She described them as a caring couple who fitted in well but holds grave fears for the injured man.

"I'd say he had third degree burns, all down his body,'' she said.

The Metropolitan Fire Service dispatched seven crews and 26 firefighters took about an hour to bring the blaze under control.

It was still visibly smouldering more than two hours after first taking hold.

Fire scene investigators are working to determine the cause, but have confirmed it will become the subject of a police inquiry.

The man's wife and his three teenage children are understood to be holding a bedside vigil.

Has any one else noticed the increased number of false alarms lately?
As much as this is good revenue!, it's a nuisance.
But i do understand we still have to respond and always will but it's a worry seeing the number of false alarms going off lately.

SA Firefighter General / Road crash

Looking on the adelaide now website, i found a story on a RCR at williamstown last night. Its says they had to wait for specialised cutting equipment from loxton-150kms away. I realise it's in CFS territory but Gawler MFS which has a pump/rescue is only like 15 minutes away.Surely for a vehicle accident this bad, they can call on the best/nearest resource rather than waiting this long. Even still, the heavy rescue truck at headquarters is closer, only about 50km/s away.

SAMFS / Fire Charges
« on: October 07, 2008, 11:42:17 AM »
Why is it that companys get charged for false alarms when it's not always their fault, but when home owners do stupid things like leaving cooking unattended, leave ciggarette butts alight or leaving clothes near a heater they don't get charged?
I think they should introduce a bill where any fire that could of been prevented impose a fine to the OWNER. I believe currently the police issue fines to people who cause rubbish fires or unapproved burnoffs but, people still just think "it won't happen to me". if they're insured, their going to get a new house anyway, so they should be liable for the cost of the MFS. Labour, fuel, gear and risking  their lives come at a price.
I know the SAMFS is government funded and we pay taxes, but people have to start taking the responsibilities of their mistakes.
