So you'd recommend it to other brigades? What was the price tag?

CFS Firey, I think they have gained popularity based on peoples experience in the Black Saturday campaign fires in Victoria. I know we used them quite a lot and found them very useful (compared to using the CFA standard rural hosereels - which were dogs to use).
We fashioned a dead reel for our appliance for the KI fires and it was excellent for the repetative 50m blackout along a road, worked quite well.
They're good if you use a lot of layflat. on the old 24 reels you can get about 100-150m of hose.
With Oakbank, Burnside reasonably close by, MFS slightly further out than Burnside, Eden Hills further over, and Strathalbyn 40k away, surely that is plenty of cover for incidents within that area?
However, I now hear that Stirling have not been consulted about the transfer and are not very happy (understandably).
Ok. Is this the only way to do it?
What about this
Are you able to program which capcodes you want to receive by yourself?
SACAD was suppossed to do a lot of things.
Well it did work! we had allot of new faces turn up at our training night tonight
See this happen quite often... Initial response type is Minor Cleanup, then quickly changed to RCR. Why?

Seriously this problem is continuing to happen often, whether the call was first taken by SAAS or SAPol a 15 minute delay calling a rescue resource is completely unacceptable in these times, when will something be done regarding this??
I have heard rumours, but have not seen any paperwork, procedures, etc...
But it WILL ensure that the brigade doesnt pay for it. There will come a point when a brigade goes to region to get something repaired / replaced from a job, and they will be denied, as there is no green t-card to show that the damage / loss occurred on the job.
whoever was waiting to bid on Burnside Pumper may just need to find another truck....
With only a small number of brigades actually taking advantage of tax deductability status, a decision was made to remove it, hence saving headaches etc for the finance people
Baggy, time for you to go back to school. If not to confirm the truck will respond what do you think the purpose of acknowledging is? And yes. That person is taking responsibility, somethin the CFS is very poor at recognizing.
I must be mis guided...I thought we were to acknowledge receipt of page with A Fire than book mobile when responding in appliance.. Is that incorrect?
bit of both - but more so - yes - the research pagers are no longer on the paging feed
is anyone noticing that the SAAS Road crash research is down? Any one know why?
cheers
Haven't seen a 4th alarm in a while...
