SA Firefighter

Because you're relying on the person at the scene's interpretation of what is difficult access, then the call taker's, then the coordinator's, and sometimes even then the crews initial assessment. More often that not a single crew is fine, maybe a second crew to assist.

As an aside, if the patient really was in cardiac arrest, the job should have been Category 1, not 2. By the looks of the delay between V181 and V126, it may not have been originally, or it worsened once the crews were there. Heck, perhaps if the patient was conscious, the two SAAS crews might have been fine with moving them on their own.
Who's to say that the patient was conscious and 'fine' when the first crew arrived, then arrested, therefore the second SAAS crew... of course they may have been too busy starting treatment before even worrying about moving the patient.

You people really read way too much into every little thing, might be a good time to step away from the pager site and get a dose of reality.

For those that are bitching about not being told about every little VA or heavy patient / difficult access, let me know what area you're in, I'll happily wake you up for EVERY job we get. Just like the one a few weeks ago, call from SAPOL, car vs shrub, driver and car decamped. But of course SAPOL class it as a VA, so we attend also. Hands up anyone in here that would like to be woken up at 3am to go out to that?

I didn't think so.

Rock on mate!

was sold out when i bothered to try and get a ticket .

I wish i was Jono, the only way ill be in Adelaide on friday is is Tash rings me to say the little fellas on his way.

So when are we going to see some action from this camera??

I DID POST ALL THE INFORMATION AT THE BEGINNING

interesting concept - these helmet cams

so how does management feel about the use of it?  if someone with a helmet-cam turned up to a job I was managing they'd be promptly and politely asked to ensure it is turned off or preferably removed.

Looks good.

Sounds like you'll have plenty of video of Seafood defaulting and MFS appliances already at jobs in no time!

Is it intrinsically safe?
