SASES / Re: Glenelg, New Years Eve & Day 2008
« on: January 03, 2009, 08:02:23 PM »
Some volunteers were facility security, advisers to the general public and runners for all ESO & Council.
Many things learnt & a good experience.
that is very concerning!!!
thishas come up in other post but ill bring it up here to
volunteers being used as security!! this has to be illigal as i would almost put money on it that none of them are licenced am i correct,
i see this a a hugh COST saveing by the councils by getting ses and in some cases cfs to act as security , i also dont see this as a emergency situation eg crime scene protection(if it was a crime scene then police would be there) there for ses cant be exemt from the law,
under the security and investagation act all security personally must be licenced and be logged into a register for the venue or event.

it is a great idea just look at salisbury this has been running for some time all fully trained in bff1 and burn-over protect people etc....
ready to roll, mostly made of older crews who have done the full responce and have "slowed down", because lets face it most of the jobs they would go to would be mop up anyway, some still roll with the rest of the station if needed.

btw
if the officer stopped the dude on the bike earlier that day he would have all his details!!
so why chase him, let him go and go around his house later that night knock on the door and say "your nicked buster"

if i am reading this right (if I'm not tell me!!)
people here KNOW the rule eg stop at red light make sure safe the proceed, SLOW down going pass posted road works(keeping in mind coso state we are only permitted to do 20km above limit so 45km/h max)
and what you are saying is you WOULD do what ever speed you like and if you course an mva and worse case you kill someone, its not your fault!!
i think it is simple!! the rules are there for a reason to protect us all!! if you break the rules sorry to say i would expect you cop the full weight of the law.
yes the law state that in simple terms states we as emergency responder can break some road rules, ONLY IF IT IS SAFE TO DO SO!!
we have to be accountable for all our actions!!!!

« on: December 09, 2008, 06:12:22 PM »
lookin at the whole issue this is my 2c
first the officer was in a 20km/hour zone and lookin at the video was not driving with due care in my opinion that is
over taking a bus approching a crossing with people on the crossing!!! did i mention in a 20km zone!!
the bike was doing 87km/h due to the copper chasing him creating a dangerous situation !!!
dont get me wrong, we all do things in the heat of the moment, but we all must be accountable for our actions,
i beleave this judgement is based on was the officer acting without due care??
just like if a cfs/samfs truck was doing even 60-70km/h in a 25km/h zone do you think we would get out filtered kicked!! and should face the full force of the law even my self
i think this should be a warning to us all be carefull and do it right SAFELY
mental not to self dont watch tv and post at same time!!!

ARSON is the suspected cause of a blaze that destroyed a home in Morphett Vale last night.
Five fire crews and police were called to the blaze on Galton Ct about 8.50pm after being alerted by a private monitored alarm system.
Neighbours also made frenzied Triple Zero calls as they witnessed flames pouring out of the roof of the house.
Two rooms were completely gutted and there was extensive smoke damage to the rest of the house.
The blaze caused $250,000 damage and the house is expected to be demolished.
A man was home at the time the fire broke out has been taken to the Flinders Medical Centre for treatment.
CFS and MFS crews took about 30 minutes to bring the blaze under control.
South Coast CIB Detective Sergeant Greg Rann confirmed the occupant was being held as the prime suspect but would not elaborate on the circumstances.
He said police believed an accelerant had been used.

SA Firefighter General / smoke alarms
« on: December 02, 2008, 01:06:01 PM »
sat in on a very inlighting community safety night the other day with a SAMFS speaker,
his advise to the community was "if you hear a smoke alarm beeping call 000 regardless"!! weather it is your house the house next door or the guy down the road, but on the other had he said that monitored smoke alarms by private security companys are useless!!
isant that a little stupid???
first: if every one that hears a smoke alarm calls 000 how many 100's of
Bull*%$T calls that mfs/cfs can't charge for is there going to be??
second: mointored alarms are great as it would raise the alarm quicker the waiting for some one to hear th alarm then call , and would also reduce the false alarms as the control rooms atleast try and contact the sites BEFORE calling 000 , and also are aware if there is a problem with the smoke alarms therefore hold off calling 000!
the officer was also putting the blame of false alarming monitored alarms on the security companys that installed the system, how is this fair!! we wont and cant work for free if the client wont pay we want fix it is that simple!!
and on the other side the alarms DO NOT belong to the security system we (security companys) sell the client the system what they do with it after that is up to them if they dont want us to come and fix it (at a cost) then what are we to do not our problem!!!!
i could go on and on and i think jeff would also agree (hi jeff)
but i wont
what do people think,
i think this has been spoken of before but cant find it.

« on: December 02, 2008, 12:52:45 PM »You're worrying about false alarms? Atleast it shows that the Fire Detection system works... or needs repair.
But as long as there are people who don't know how to cook, there will always be Fixed Alarms going off!
i would say need repair/service but unless the client/occupents want to PAY for the service work then they will be nothing done about it!!

Incident Operations / Re: house fire
« on: October 10, 2008, 07:37:28 PM »facts people- Salisbury CFS were being turned out all night on Wednesday by themselves due to 2 domestic fires in Elizabeth (ps no chg of quarters, just CFS response)and yes Salisbury CFS rolled two trucks out the door to a MVA into MFS area as they were the only responders, no other MFS appliances were dispatched.And guess what, the job was done and done well!!!
To be honest i dont understand this whole thread, Salisbury CFS do over 450 calls a year so it is not in their interest to drum up extra calls or even dispatch more trucks than necessary due to the busy nature of the brigade. There will always be a minority of people that play the "what about us" card but I would suggest that is not the feelings of the total brigade.
As far as I am concerned if the pager goes of trucks will roll out the door as deemed appropriate at the time by the OIC. if that response is deemed to be inappropriate by MFS in MFS area speak to someone of rank, ask questions give people the chance to learn if mistakes are made, dont just bitch on an internet forum where nothing will get done to address an issue if it is there.
and yes, i am a very proud member of Salisbury CFS
well said grant!!!
btw we missed you at the 3 calls tonight?
