SA Firefighter

So you have one at full time regional SAAS stations? I've seen FP1 and V1 around before too, but I thought V1 might be the call sign for the MPS. Is FP1 based at Mt Barker because the few times he has responded to an incident has been around the mt barker-stirling area.

Ive seen that last week or so, think the bloke lives up in the death zone up near blackwood.

He's a general manager and he's at Clarendon.

Manager Patient Services.

Cool, I have never heard of HM2 haha.

does this person operate daily? Do most regional stations have an MPS or does one control a large area?

cheers

HM2 is Hills Murray Duty Manager. Thanks for the info. What does MPS stand for?

25-06-11 17:22:50 Pager Test, Appliance 5271 is now running as 521 which is first out the door,, Appliance 528 is second out the door and Appliance 529 is not to be driven or moved at all!!!!, SO Higgins - MFS Whyalla Response

Is that temporary or permanent?

That's a great one

Hi

I can only talk from experiences down here at the South East, but a  40 call sign is usually used for a Cert II or IV which can be classed as a crew. Also the RTL might have been doing some driver training with a Cert II vollie. Most likely that the RTL was in Wallaroo providing some training and worked a shift for them today, hence the reason you have WL1. Again, only talking from experiences down here.

WRONG!

WL1 is the Wallaroo Clinical Team Leader station boss (not a RTL)

Does he operate out of a normal ambulance or is he just based at the station making sure things flow smoothly?

Yeah sorry about that. A VTL operates from Strathalbyn and can work in the South Coast too. Call sign is OC9.

(Cheers to Alan; courtesy of info provided by him via Ozfire  , thanks mate)

Yeah, OS9 is his callsign now. And yes, he is an RTL.

Ford Territory, fleet 510, I saw him at the Strath hospital a while back.

I know this is an old topic but are there SPRINT cars in volunteer stations and full time stations like Whyalla, Port Lincoln, Port Augusta, Renmark, Berri, Victor, Goolwa ect?

What would be the 1st alarm response appliances to a pager message like this (ie Tanker ect):

MFS:*CFRES INC45 31/5/11 13:21,RESPOND COMMERCIAL FIRE, RAL RAL AVENUE,RENMARK MAP 0 0 0 TG193,RENMARK HOSPITAL,MULITPLE CALLS.,REN618

***this is not a real pager message***

What would be the 2nd Alarm response appliances and the 3rd Alarm response appliances. Who would be most likely to go COQ (and to which station). And lastly at what response (1st alarm, 2nd or 3rd) would you introduce the D/O into the thick of things.

***If you're wondering why this thread was put up it is because i'm researching the MFS for a school project and I want to include the differences between regional responses and metro responses***
