Would a SAFECOM plane be worth it for transporting specialist teams of people & equipment to the nearest airfield to a large scale incident.

For example, a large HAZMAT or USAR incident at a regional centre (eg Whyalla). Strike Teams to KI rather than commercial flights. Air Observing platform.

....or is this already catered for with the aircraft that already exist within the state (eg Rescue 51).
This is already catered for with current aircraft, atleast for Hazmat. If you were looking at trying to transport anything bigger than people/small lightweight equipment, then you would need a larger aircraft. I don't think that SAFECOM purchasing its own plane would be economically viable for a handful of uses a year.

Surely you can achieve everything you need to in an aircraft rescue with Hydraulic Rescue tools? The majority of an aircraft is made up of material similar to what is being seen in new cars is it not? The only thing that you would need that most RCR appliances don't have is some heavy duty shoring equip.

Boss, are you ok? You seem a bit wired.

It really deserves another thread, but its surprising to see just how little is officially listed for an RCR resource. Are there any units that carry the bare minimum?

Top work from the vollies. Now we just need to wrestle control of the aussie comps from the Burwood boys.

SA Firefighter General / Re: Siren Types And Use
« on: October 18, 2006, 01:56:23 PM »
Yeah, we have people that love to set the siren on mix and leave it there, but most other people who have half a brain use yelp for intersections/blind corners on narrow roads, and wail for the rest. Then you've got the electronic horn for intersections or stubborn drivers. As a last resort if you are bored there is still the Hi-Lo on one appliance.

It does make sense to allocate funds to brigades/units that actually need the money. If you have a brigade/unit that is very busy, then their equipment is no doubt going to suffer from more wear and tear than another less busy brigade.
