Country Fire Service / Re: MFS in Mt Barker
« on: May 23, 2007, 05:29:01 PM »Consider that Gawler MFS (24/7 station) did less calls last year than some CFS stations i wouldnt think call rate would come into it.
Considering Stirling are doing 300ish? calls that really isnt a big warrant for a paid crew sitting there 24/7.

Country Fire Service / Re: MFS in Mt Barker
« on: May 21, 2007, 10:50:20 PM »ok going off track but anyway.I think the point Camo is trying to make is they (a retained station) wouldnt get out any quicker than a CFS brigade. I think Mt Barker do an excellent job of looking after the town. Why change to a similar system if it costs more?
A Retained station will never take over a volunteer station. Why?
There is no improvement in service.
If MFS ever take over Barker it will be 24/7. Now back to the stations.

SASES / Re: SES Callouts
« on: May 20, 2007, 10:34:22 PM »
Thanks for the replies as i said just a query, CFS do know how to work on roofs (well some anyway). Was just concerned that the occupants had to wait a length of time before they were attended to by the SES, just though it may have been better to get more resources on the ground to deal with these incidents quickly to maybe avoid some distress by callers waiting a while for assistance.

Incident Operations / Re: 2nd Alarm at LYELL MCEWIN CAMPUS
« on: May 20, 2007, 09:28:57 PM »Ended up finding a small fire apparently, with lots of smoke. Salisbury CFS got a couple of runs to domestics shortly after, the old EMA in action.But maybe should have been called to the 2nd alarm as well? Seeing as they are only about a K and a half from the hospital?

Country Fire Service / Re: This years call rates
« on: May 19, 2007, 01:52:58 PM »The new funding for brigades will start with the new budget year so some brigades will be happy and other wont.... It basically works like this the more calls you do the more money you get,the number of appliances you have and other activates you do..... Wont to know more I would say get along to your next group meeting....coming to a fire station near youThats a bit odd Bill cause we heard we'd actually be getting less in our budget next year (Even though we've been busier this year). That to me sounded like the funding had already been set at a fixed rate.

Country Fire Service / Re: This years call rates
« on: May 16, 2007, 09:31:38 PM »we're on 49 i think, a pretty regular year for us.Make you wonder though, your brigade does 50 odd calls per year but your neigbours do 300+. But i suppose you are in a relativly quiet area.
yeah from my brigades point of view i cant fathom attending 400 calls a year.
