« on: August 31, 2008, 02:52:19 PM »Well its either One Tree hill or Salisbury, for such a low priority job, id say one tree hill with Elizabeth would be the best response.Bit of a longish drive for OTH being at the bottom of the hills face, going by what ive seen on the pager site Salisbury CFS seems to do responses into that area, anyway obviously a fill in upstairs last night?
Salisbury MFS looked like it had been called to a RCR at Brahma Lodge at the time.

As far as im aware (could be wrong though) i heard that some of the 2005 model 34's, ie the 1st one with the hose reel above the deck were going to be rotated this year. Meaning the likes of Happy Valley etc would receive a newie and theirs would be shuffled somewhere else. Unless since i heard this things have changed (not unsual in the CFS 
). Zippy, i though there were more 34's than that being built, although the 34P figure sounds right.

« on: August 21, 2008, 03:01:10 PM »Quite a few of our members have come from other brigades and actually enquired first whether there would be a place in the brigade for them if they moved into the area.
how many here have chosen their new house on the location of the CFS station

07:00:15 19-08-08 There is a Fire call and two personnel can not take truck need more thank you MFS Pt Augusta Response
Hmmm, 12 minutes and only two people at the station and no default brigade responded, surely this is unacceptable.
In one of the other threads I thought someone said that the retained stations need to default just the same as the CFS do - it appears as though they don't think so.
I wonder if the UFU will crack the filtered at the MFS and start writing reports like they did with a certain CFS brigade that struggled to get out the door.

All Equipment discussion / Re: Burnside Pumper
« on: August 10, 2008, 11:10:27 PM »Burnside's area has remained reletively unchanged for years. All that can be developed, has been developed. There still exists a large (protected by national park status) rural risk in our area, and i think there will always be a need for CFS presence in the area.Thats what i was getting at, they might still be there but not in the capacity they are now? I.e they might end up becoming rural only?

Good luck getting anything sorted with the MFS, anyways all i wanted to know if it was the same job cause they happened a fair while after each other, ie 3am amd 824am and they dont carry the same incident number either.

But what if the brigade only survives another 5 years? What then? Do they sell it and give the money back? You can't honestly say that Burnside will be around in their current capacity for the next 20 years.(Like a lot of othe r urban fringe brigades)

« on: July 28, 2008, 03:42:09 PM »"If you look on the pager site Salisbury CFS couldn't turn out anyway"Good point, none of those pages i can see say "we cant turn out". You area brilliant pumprescue, at reading something into something thats not there.
How do you know they could not turn out? They could of rolled a truck and were wanting more people in station for radio's, second appliance etc, there is much more to every situation than what you read on the pager site!

So if a CFS crew were in MFS area, came across a job, dealt with it and went home without notifying them, it would be ok. I dont think so. Have been down that road, we notified then on return to station (all it involved was about 5 m2 grass, comms cracked the shits and sent an appliance out to the area to "check it out" So there would be no issues? Bullshit.

Stop call! MFS in attendance before CFS recieved call CFS Salisbury Response
In the crews defence I heard Salisbury MFS state that it was CFS area and had they been called to comms,the answer being NO and the subsequent page.
is it going to the dogs at the moment??? lol...thats the third brigade to be walked over now...

I suppose it just comes down to common courtesy and correct procedure i.e notifying the respective service of the event.
