SA Firefighter

All teams have arrived, except Northern Territory - they had some problems with flights - so only one NT rep was able to make it to Government House for a reception this evening....

All teams will undertake eight exercises over the weekend - all teams do all exercises - 4 on each day

Some of the exercises look very interesting!!

Photos to come!

Hi Pip

do you happen to have any of the photos from the rescue comps mainly the SA team..??

If so any chance of emailing some or posting some. Would like to have some to show the guys for our end of year video.

Just letting everone know sa came 1st followed by nsw by approx 106 points. All stands were good a put everuone to the test.
Sa was the only team to complete all 8 stsnds

Received mine today 13th at 9.30.  Let the fun begin.

I'll be there with you then Scottie. My PAT1 is then also. Will be good morning / few minutes.

Would anybody be able to explain to me why MedSTAR is not seen on the online pagers. You can always here radio contact between them and comms but when there are incidents requiring the chopper, MedSTAR are not paged (only CFS or SES to prepare landing ground). And also, SOT are not paged for general messages and net calls test pages.

try to see if this pager site is any better than sascan

Hey USAR, did you take them up on the feed back after your interview? What did they tell you, purely for interest sake of course. I have had the same feed back two years running.....

The sucky thing with my feedback was that I didn't get my feedback from who interviewed me. They just went by what notes that were written.

I was told that I didn't give enough information /  detail in my answers to their questions relating to the PID. Although I was told my note taking was good that I wrote down to prompt myself for my answers.

Hopefully I can get further this year.

Did anyone see the old NSWFS truck on North East road tonight doing what i think was a flow test on the booster system??

Does anyone know who has that old truck?? The truck looked like an old musseum piece lol.

Where abouts on north east rd..?? I know that the TTG council have an old looking fire truck at their council depot.

It was that before. They have just simplified it for people to understand. Used to be either unrestricted Heavy Rigid or Heavy Rigid with condition A or B which is automatic or syncromesh. So the only thing they have taken out is the Automatic.

Has anyone noticed the SA Scan site is down?

Yeah i have. don't know why . It sucks with it being down though. gotta use the other pager site. Till SA Scan is back up and running

So what they just got a bit too close to the edge did they?

They were driving down the track. Their 14 went through and when the 34 got down the back end stepped out on them. There was even someone on the crew deck.

Hmmm, not sure what the SES could do , sounds like a call for TRUCKWORKS 

The vehicle was secured by ropes by SES overnight, and from the sound of things there were issues on scene so much so that an SES Commander had to attend.Interesting listening

There was nothing the driver could have done to avoid the situation. Was a good job of it though. Lucky they all got out ok.

Yeah it was secured overnight and recovered the following day. SES commander didnt come on scene. The only issues were of the appliance further shifting and no close anchor points to secure.

TTG CFS page was for their safety officer (OIC) who wanted to oversee what was happening.
