STORM TIDE ADVICE for Gulf St Vincent and Spencer Gulf
Issued at 4:05 pm on Friday, 18 July 2008

The weather conditions are expected to cause sea levels to be higher than
indicated by tide tables during the weekend. Sea levels along parts of Spencer
Gulf and Gulf St Vincent are likely to be around half a metre or more higher
than the highest tide of the year with the afternoon/evening high tides on
Saturday and Sunday.

At the Port Adelaide Outer Harbor tide gauge, sea levels between 3.2 to 3.5
metres [local gauge datum] are possible with the high tides on both Saturday and
Sunday. 

This advice will be updated at or before 10:00 am Saturday.

Note: A change in the definition of the datum occurred on 1 January 2001. A tide
level of 3.5 metres in 2001 is equivalent to a tide level of 3.77 metres on the
old scale.

I think they are on hold till they fix the problems with the last batch ...

Ok i wouldnt have thought last years batch mattered seeing as how they were being made by a different company? Have heard reports drom they are at the inspection stage to not started and anywhere in between those 2. Was curious cause no-one seems to know.

Also Zippy, as much us those of us who have done SFEC upgrades over the last few years have tried, you can't use the MFS example at all, we tried that with all of our upgrade proposals and were told "MFS get what they get".

Ah well, we will still keep putting the fires out, fancy truck or not it just grinds my gears that those of us that have Type 2's have them for a reason, and we aren't ever going to be able to acheive the next level of appliance simply because we don't have the money 

Have also been down that road, being told you cant use backing up MFS as reason for a pump, but also you cant have one cause the MFS are there? Anyway, as previously stated they have probably done another brigade a favour cause i cant see Burnside being around (in the capacity they are now) for another 20 years to enjoy the truck anyway. They'll probably just paint it red and give it to the MFS anyway.

Small things amuse small minds i suppose.

If the road is in both CFS & MFS area whatever happened to dual response?

Nice 24P in the photo. 

Probably goes into govt. revenue, cant see it going back to the CFS.

Wow! Another "Everyone's invited" over-resourced SNAFU carpark job, brought to you by Mt. Lofty Group!

Is Burnside the closest most appropriate response,for atmospheric monitoring,with Oakbank Balhannah just down the road?

Not when the DGO's from Burnside 

I hear they are getting a second storey to house the group base, getting a driveway through the rear to facilitate a drive through station, as well as extending out two more bays to allow for group cars/imt.

Confirm/Deny?

Or is all that for it to be ready when the MFS take over the area?

Coincidence? Or was there something happening there?

hmmm i thought i read arson initially....maybe thats what they thought and they changed it?

Quick snip from mondays online advertiser;
The probable cause was an electrical fault in the ceiling, with about of $80,000 damage caused.

I think the media had already listed them both as arson.

The servo fire was put down to an electrical fault from what i read in the paper unless thats changed?
