Country Fire Service / Re: Number of trucks to jobs
« on: September 02, 2007, 08:03:41 PM »You do realise that the only way in which your response plans are going to change is with SAMFS turning out to everything in their (currently your) area.
I'd like to know how you can fix crewing issues in 6 mothns... Got a bunch of green probies on the trucks or something?
Easy really. Had two experienced ex CFS members join up both available days and are both drivers we also had another 4 members sign up and 4 long term cadets become fireies.

« on: September 02, 2007, 05:17:13 PM »Aren't they one and the same?
No not under original zoning. Port Noarlunga South was MFS area dual response with CFS and Noarlunga Downs was CFS area dual response with MFS.
Leaving, Seaford, Seaford Rise, Seaford meadows, Old Noarlunga and Moana CFS area.
Though atm MFS and MV are on dual response with us over crewing issues that were fixed months ago. We have asked for response plans to return to the original state but as of yet they wont change it.
So for any incident in our area you will have Seaford, MV and C'downs MFS on initial response. Thats one big waste of resourcing.

SA Firefighter General / Re: Seaford Responses
« on: September 02, 2007, 02:17:13 PM »i think it would be more reasonable to say that 2 brigades should be sent because CFS is a volunteer resource and hence can't guarantee a full crew then at least there will be 4 crew between the 2 brigades.
To go back to the Seafood example, its a rubbish fire. Generally this is going to be some shitty little fire that you can extinguish with a HP line, no worries. You had MFS going, thats one truck guaranteed, and TWO CFS brigades... thats generally another two trucks. You still don't need a hundred trucks from one station.
In defence, MFS and MV shouldn't be coming down that far under original zone conditions. So the more we can prove to them that our crewing levels are now fine, By responding both our appliances which would arrive before either MFS or MV, the quicker we are proving that they are wasting a resources coming that far and the zoning should be returned to normal.
So don't stick it to Seaford for sending two appliances out a door. Question the Gods who are responding 3 stations by deafault.

SA Firefighter General / Re: Seaford Responses
« on: September 02, 2007, 02:09:09 PM »Theres your problem... Seafood don't need to be responding two trucks to a rubbish fire when they know that there is another 2 appliances coming.

No, not at all. It's our area so we send our two units and stop any other oncoming units if they are not needed. It's SEAFORD too, idiot. The problem that did exist as Captain has explained is that we were low on members, which was fixed a couple of months ago. But due to that poor membership level, MV and MFS were both put on dual response with us. Which is now no longer needed, we have requested to get it taken off. But as of yet it still stands.

Two appliances to a rubbish fire? It's a RUBBISH FIRE "idiot".
If you can't hit that with one truck, you've got issues.
[/quote]
Well that just makes me think of the calls that have come across as rubbish fires and end up being large fires or other fires that require more than one appliance.
Plus you always would send both of your appliances as a default response then if the second is not needed you would put a stop through.

SA Firefighter General / Seaford Responses
« on: August 31, 2007, 05:52:48 PM »...So at the most you should be getting 3 appliances to a rubbish fire, where is the fourth coming from??
Two trucks from Seaford, one from Morphett Vale & one from MFS.
They drove past me while I was parked on Commercial Road.
Theres your problem... Seafood don't need to be responding two trucks to a rubbish fire when they know that there is another 2 appliances coming.

"The Minister said there was no plan to bring the MFS to Stirling and Mount Barker in the short or medium term"
Hahahahahaha, Yes believe what the minister said..........
Just like she said to myself and Seaford's LT4 in person that there would be no MFS station at Seaford in the next 2 years......

The other night at training. One station was trying to reach Adelaide Fire on 124, they tried several times and eventually gave up I think. There seemed to be nobody home on 124. :S

Country Fire Service / Re: Dennis Arrived
« on: April 02, 2007, 07:00:51 PM »So how is the DENNIS going are you guys at seaford happy with it and has it been to a call out yet?
So far it has gone to about 10 call outs I think. I really like it.
The tank was fixed on it, they found a leaking pipe in the line. The window is all sealed in properly with some extra angle this time. So far we havn't had any problems with overheating of engine or brakes. The hose lines rewind fine as long as you have the revs up to keep the air compressing. There's a few little things we need to fix on it still though.
- Theres two gaps in the cab straight into the engine bay, that very warm air flows into the cab through.
- Need to have the A/C looked at, it's not working.
But so far it's gone ok
