However I would be concerned a brigade as busy at that one, didn't have any other more senior members to take the OIC spot on the appliance.

All of our officers were on the other truck, which broke down. After the initial attack of the fire, the officer from Morphett Vale took over Incident control, at my request.

You being the most experienced on the truck minus the driver is a bit worrying

yes, thats what i thought as i saw who was running for the truck!!

but i think this incident highlights just how important the cadet program is!! it is amazing how much you can learn by doing mock incidents!!

If it was the incident last night next to the expressway, it was not after midnight,We were mobile at 2057, I was OIC on the first truck, SEAFORD 24, and we only used the sirens when they were necessary!

For anyone interested, it was a car fire in the new section of Noarlunga Downs. Mawson Group car discovered it and responded SEAFORD, we were participating in a group exercise on Seaford rd. SEAFORD 24P promptly responded, but about 100m's down the road stopped dead due to electrical issues, which have since been rectified, so SEAFORD 24 was responded. we arrived and with the assistance of Morphett Vale 24 and Morphett Vale 14 Extinguished the fire....and then i got stuck doing paperwork, yay!

why not just stick them in the middle of winter, then cadets can train during the fire season when it is heaps harder to get out on trucks for training anyway??

just my point of view after comming up from cadets!

All i know is that we have recently (monday) recieved 2 sets of NOMEX, and are still waiting for another 2. All our BA operators have both PBI and NOMEX.

The only proban gear in our station is the cadet stuff.

thanks for the replies,

I am from seaford, we are an urban brigade, and only the cadets wear proban, i soaked it in nappysan overnight and it has come up a bit cleaner, i now plan to give it to him and tell him to give it to the next cadet who is moving up so that their uniform stays yellow.

HI all..

i have recently moved up from cadets to a ff and have been wearing the cadet uniform (proban) to call-outs while i have been waiting for my nomex to arrive, the only problem is now the cadet cordinator is chucking a hissy fit because i got his cadet uniform dirty. Does anyone know the best way to get proban gear clean??

cheers Pixie

So you are the person who beat me to making the phone call, I was sitting upstairs on the pc and looked out my window, and saw a collum of smoke rising out of what appears to be the southern side of the onkaparinga gorge, but by the time I got my mobile and ran back upstairs to try to work out exactly where it was happy valley had already been responded.

So basicaly, if you hadnt made the call, I would've!
