Congratulations to all the teams who took part in the Mine Rescue Comp hosted by Angus Zinc over the weekend.

Teams from Olympic Dam, Prominent Hill, Angus Zinc, Stawell, Broken Hill and Fosterville took park in a range of exercises.

Firefighting, BA, Rope Rescue and a theory component was conducted at STC, while Search and Rescue, RCR, Skills and First Aid was conducted around Strathalbyn.

A fantastic effort by everyone, with special mention to Olympic Dam who won overall.

Was watching the news last night when they mentioned 2 trucks had been involved in a collision.

5 injured, (I think they said 2 serious?)
It looked like quite a substantial impact from the pictures....

These things should serve as a timely reminder to be vigilant and stay safe.
I wish all involved a speedy recovery.

In recent times Ive noticed paging (similar to the one below) where crews have been responded to a tree down rather than an MVA.

Now, I acknowledge that ALL the information is contained in this message, as it has been in the others, and as such is not worthy of complaint. But I'm just wondering how its decided to respond as a tree down rather than MVA.

Its just that the pedantic part of me considers the MVA to be the more critical aspect...

Thoughts??

Images...... Its all well and good to take them, but the idea of this board is to post them.
Keep those cameras snapping :)

Please note: Topics on this board should be started with a image.

Our brigade is looking into purchasing a few of these Powerflares.
I have used the Eflares previously, and am wondering if anyone has any experience with the Powerflares.

How do they perform compared to eflares etc?

Links to both Powerflare and Eflare are below.

It would appear that SES are going to adopt an entry level medical for members.
Not sure on all the details as yet.

Ill post some more details as they come to light.....

When did they stop giving pre-course assignments to people doing their initial BA course? Or has something been left out of the envelope?

Just seemed a bit odd.....

Cheers

Yesterday (22/6) was a day for Hazmat operators to Visit Burnside to attend various sessions and updates about various equipment.

Sessions included CBRNE investigations, Hospital Mass Decon Pod, Absorbents and Adsorbents, Radiation and Gas monitoring.

It was a very informative and valuable day which was enjoyed by all.

Thanks to the Guys for their efforts. :)
