are you able to tell us why the "Type 2" wasnt suitable replacement?
and also how long are the CFS & Burnside going to keep going with the current pumper?

Yepo thats what response plans are all about. Alot of CFS brigades should have these as well for there local risks.
Not sure but i dont think surrounding structures do much unless they are joined?
Sorry misinterpreted something rescue hazmat said. I was presuming a shopping centre would be an A or B due to the amount of people in these buildings.

« on: December 17, 2006, 04:54:46 PM »A 4th alarm C risk would still stretch things out quite considerably, however you are correct, obviously the higher the risk, the more appliances and crew will be at the scene..
Mitcham Shopping Centre is a good example, I believe that went 4th alarm. Multiple CFS appliances did COQ for SAMFS, and a couple even attended the scene.
A shopping centre is a C risk? I would of thought B. Anyway.
Mitcham is a little different as that is in the far south of the city. Like i said depending on where the fire is would depend on the response from cfs.

« on: December 17, 2006, 04:00:30 PM »Thats why MFS have diffrent risk categories because a 4th alarm A risk will stretch MFS to the limit but a fourth alarm C risk would only pull a few stations???
I would presume so. A small C Risk structure wouldnt require 5 Aerials and 10 Pumps like an A Risk structure would.

Is the electric side reels your talking about? What are these like?
Do those on here make sure the side reels are rolled up under pressure? If not make sure you do as the hose will squash down and perish quicker.

How many brigades fill in there activities sheet and send it to HQ?
To my disgust our brigade doesnt but no one seems to listen when i mention it.
Can anyone confirm or deny that the new budget will revolve around the activity sheets? also the fire reports but thats pretty obvious.

Technically alarms only exist up to 4th alarm in MFS & CFS but if you request appliances beyond that then of course you can calculate more then that, its just not recognised.
A 4th Alarm Fire in Adelaide depending on the location will more then likely see at least 1 cfs appliance at the scene and a whole heap doing COQ's.

We perform duties that include a certain amount of risk. And that risk will always be there.
Unless they are going to start wrapping us up in bubble wrap these things will always happen. Its part of the job unfortunately but we just have to try our best to stop it happening.
Heck look at the yanks, they write trucks off several times a year - we do it maybe once every 5 years (on average, maybe more?)

« on: December 17, 2006, 09:27:24 AM »As I understand it, CFA don't fit the roll down curtains to their single cab appliances - even new ones.....
While they curtains are not the be all & end all of fire protection, it certainly gives you something. I don't know what went on today with the burn over, but it certainly makes you think.
My thoughts go to the families and friends of the fire fighter killed, and also to the injured fire fighters, and their families.

From what i have read they were on foot away from appliances.

I think the problem is Regional dont talk to the group and the group dont talk to regional.
How about we get ourselves organised for a change!

Dont hold your breath Bill. By the time you get a new pumper the Type 2's will have passed and they will be onto some new design.

yes our new 24P is just a HV rebadged.
The Heysen group Officers lost their balls and sent Hahndorf pumper back to Hahndorf (u really have to wonder why you would send a pumper back to a station that cant crew it and has bugger all urban risk)
So we are now responding Barker Rescue as our primary truck for all urban and rescue jobs with 24P being backup
DGO1 has told us that we should respond hahndorf and little hampton if we need them, I DON'T THINK SO,
you group officers will pay for this bad decision
Why wouldnt you respond them if you need them?

Type 2 is just the design name given to it as it originated in the NSWFB.
So Naracoorte and Stirling wouldnt be a type 2 Pumper although they may have nearly the same specs?
