Pumprescue

Seems to me your brigade and group are doing the right thing in terms of Fire alarms. Just because someone wrote " first appliance should go straight to booster" doesn't mean it complies to all brigades. Some brigades that are still only doing single response need to be aware that parking at the front door isn't always the best thing to do. Some brigades have to wait 25-30min for a second appliance to roll up. God bless the people that are doing the right thing, there needs to be more of you

ERRR are you telling me that all areas including rural areas that have installations have 2 or 3 pumps responding to fire alarms. Don't think so !!!

The course basically covers how to respond to alarm calls and how to operate the FIP. Most first arriving appliances are still rolling up to the front door because it's closer to walk to the panel. Should be parking near the booster!!!. As hicks flat said most appliances are able to boost a system. You don't necessarily need a big pumper to make it work. Some firies still can't determine a smoke detector to a thermal, it also covers reading block plans correctly and filling out the Attendance books. These courses will be held at local brigades and using a system in their area.

Stand by all, there has been a course developed which will cover all of your q's and has already been delivered to a brigade with more in the not to near future. It will cover responding and correct positioning of appliances at the scene, and how to operate the FIP and understand it's functions and how to connect up to the boosters. Even connecting up with a standard 24/34 can have results on a sprinkler system. Alot of new systems in rural areas are operated by an electric or diesel pump so there shouldn't need to be any boosting from the appliances.

bittenyakka, they are showing private alarms to Woodside Army camp because of what zippy posted, its not monitored by a security company, its the army camp ringing the ALERTS number to find out why no one has attended the alarm, and ADELAIDE FIRE paging out for a response :-D

A little off the topic  yes! loby rescue is a ses truck full of cfs gear and cfs people in yellow, too much funding, this rescue truck  carries almost two sets of rcr gear (double of everything). Also there is now a dedicated ses vehicle called onka salvage at loby aswell, has been used about 4 times in 18 months.But has all the goodies on it that some other ses brigades would love to have. double dipping i think, especially when loby put in ses job reports for rcr. loby is cfs rcr not ses rcr :?

Dezza 24p can you tell me what a ses call is in the onkaparinga group, if a call comes in for a tree down or flooding through ALERTS and is paged out on CFS pagers and big WHITE trucks go out. Is this not a CFS call. Even if there are some individuals who wish to wear ses turnout ppe on cfs appliances, seems to be getting a bit messy to me!!!!

The bucket of bolts at Woodside is now at stc I think, CFS changed over cab/chassis with original deck, truck is performing ok now, although a new 34 is expected next year, but you all know you only believe it when its in station with your respective brigades name on the side.
