UP TO 20 PEOPLE MISSING NEAR GRANITE ISLAND ALL BOATS AND CREWS REQUIRED URGENT VMR 521



Nice to see it took 6 incidents for south coast SES to call in some assistance with storm damage albiet from yankalilla.

5 jobs on the go and then they get this

1908073 13:39:32 02-07-07 MFS: DAILY INC. NO. 44 - 02/07/07 13:39,RESPOND COLLAPSED BUILD,FOSTER PL,GOOLWA, MAP 307 L 6 ,,GARDEN SHED ABOUT TO BLOW INTO NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOUR HOUSE. MRS LEWIS 8555**** P2,79550 73229*CFSRES

Only 300metres from our station.

Yes i realise storm damage isn't our primary job but with this many calls shouldn't they be passing some of these jobs onto CFS?

Yes they should be passing on these calls to the nearest brigade/service
Title: Re: Interesting Fire and Emergency Related Paging
Post by: Firefrog on July 02, 2007, 07:32:05 PM
SES don't think like a fire service.......They run job boards which fill up and they will work all night finishing all the jobs and clearing the board.

Fire Services call in resources until each job has been resourced.....

Seems like a big step backwards.  Hope only a brief glitch in the new system.

. . . . it was a good message  :-) . . . .

What exactly consitutes a bad message? 

The poor comms brigade took five mintues to figure out which brigades had been paged (same message sent to a couple of brigades). By the time they put their glasses on, fished out the MFS appliance code list and . . . BINGO!

Does anyone else think the page could be laid out a little more clearly, possibly:
1909366 MFS: KALANGADOO RESPOND Vehicle Accident, KALANGADOO. MEDHURST RD NEAR DRAINS WETAR RAPID NO 721372,5688 DAILY INC. NO. 42 - 17:54:12 08-07-07*CFSRES:

It was an RCR with no entrapments cause like i said before the driver bailed out after crashing his car although were not sure if he walked back to town or called a mate to pick him up :|
Title: Re: Interesting Fire and Emergency Related Paging
Post by: littlejohn on July 09, 2007, 01:19:04 PM
Actually littlejohn only Kalangadoo was dispatched . . . . . . 

Robert, Millicent Rescue was also paged (which created confusion with Comms, as the accident was in Penola's area), but they were stop-called enroute after your crew confirmed no entrapments.

I understand SAPOL spent some time trying to track down the driver, who was nowhere to be found.
Title: Re: Interesting Fire and Emergency Related Paging
Post by: Robert-Robert34 on July 09, 2007, 02:14:07 PM
Technically littlejohn Wepar Road is on the borderline between Millicent and Penola Rescue response areas so i can imagine it would have caused confusion, yes SAPOL did spend some time trying to locate the driver but couldnt find him

Is this a Commander or SOT or in ICP/CTL ? .. - Or something totally different..
Title: Re: Interesting Fire and Emergency Related Paging
Post by: mack on July 11, 2007, 10:23:31 AM
i believe it is a paramedic crew. persons working on secondment in HQ still have there quals, and are able to respond to jobs in one of the busses kept there... i think there only usually used when SAAS are a bit stretched, btu i spose since its just around the corner...

r u sure SAFirey?

i have been told it is crewed by either paramedics or ICPs seconded to HQ for other duties? i dont believe its a normal on the road car.
Title: Re: Interesting Fire and Emergency Related Paging

Whichever it is, CTL is Clinical Team Leader.   :-)
Title: Re: Interesting Fire and Emergency Related Paging
Post by: JC on July 11, 2007, 07:59:25 PM
 This means it is a HQ spare fleet ambulance,they give the 40 code to ambulances on standby at sporting or non-operational tasks,in this case 401, if there were more than one it would get 402, occasionally they may be needed to respond. As to what level of crewing they could have been anything from AOs to ICPs, but probably paramedics or ICparamedics being a Cat2 they were responding to.

Nah blinky everything has been sorted out now :-)i responded right away after reading it was an RCR but still i cant quite put my finger on why there wasnt anyone in town today :? after all the message said injuries unknown that should have resulted in a good crew turn out

I was tempted to set the station siren off but was advised by Wattle Range Base to wait around after getting on the radio to acknowledge our page when no-one turned up i radioed back and advised we had no crew at all

2919 and 2924 are both Burnside for a start. Stirling are 9019, so that there is a CFS appliance coming from  both above and below. That system has been in place for many years. 441 (MFS) also get responded as they are so close to the bottom of the freeway and get to jobs there pretty quickly.
Title: Re: Interesting Fire and Emergency Related Paging
Post by: safireservice on July 28, 2007, 12:01:53 PM
So 4 appliances to a car fire, but only 2 to a house fire? Still bizzare if you ask me, so why dont MFS send 4 appliances to a car fire in MFS area?
Title: Re: Interesting Fire and Emergency Related Paging
Post by: CFS_Firey on July 28, 2007, 01:36:04 PM
It's the politics of the area - no one could decide who's area it was, so instead they respond 3 brigades (including 441) to any jobs there.  A good waste of resources, and volunteers time.  I believe the situation has been sorted for when SACAD is implemented though.
Title: Re: Interesting Fire and Emergency Related Paging

The freeway jobs go back to the old days of the Mt Barker Road. There were few places to do u-turns along the road. The decision was made therefore to send appliance(s) from above and below allowing for the fact that appliances might have to drive past the job and turn around and go back to it.
For example between the Crafers turn off and Eagle on the Hill there was nowhere to do a u-turn. MFS send appliances to a lot of jobs just into CFS areas. Thats just the way it is. Not ours to wonder why..

I am pretty sure that you will find SES were responded to the Victor job for traffic. They have the signs etc and are usually much quicker to the scene than council/DRT. SAPOL in country areas often respond SES to jobs like that to assist with manpower for traffic control. Of course we all know that SAPOL in country areas are under manned.

The second page is BUILDING IMPACT for a shoring team to check the building before removing the car. Metropolitan SES units do not respond to road crash rescue taskings.

MFS are responded automatically, because they can check the situation quickly while volunteers respond with more specialised equipment. Especially for fire cover with leaking vehicle fluids.

Not all MFS trucks use paging, so the RCR might have already been processed via a different method.

Interesting to see that a number of SES pagers, in other areas, are seemingly not going through Adelaide Fire, but appear to be paged locally, by individuals.....   :|

most SES units appear to work differently to CFS in that what would be called the response page if it were CFS, only goes to the duty officer / unit manager, ie. one person.  That person then pages the rest of the unit to respond.  Eg. here's what I mean:

11:54:13  09-08-07  MFS: INC # 19 - 09/08/07 11:54,RESPOND BUILD IMPACT,21 GULFVIEW RD,CHRISTIES BEACH, MAP 185 G 7 ,,CAR INTO HOUSE,439 72820 431*CFSRES: SES Noarlunga Response

11:59:48  09-08-07  PRIORITY 1 CALLOUT BLDG IMPACT REPORT TO UNIT REGARDS TREVOR SES Noarlunga Info

so the members of the unit only get the second page (5 mins later too) and respond based on that.  Seems a funny way to do things to me but there ya go.

Title: Re: Interesting Fire and Emergency Related Paging
Post by: Dave O on August 11, 2007, 01:17:58 PM
Its mainly the metro SES units that do this... And normally to a senior group (4-6 members)
Pretty much aimed at the jobs which may not require a response right that minute.
For example, it allows the duty officer or unit manager to recce a tree down, and perhaps postpone the task until outside working hours to make it more volunteer friendly. Instead of every member rushing to the unit...
A 5 minute difference in SES dispatch/arrival when local MFS/CFS are rolling isnt going to be a major problem..

Hey guys, I have just come across this forum.

Just wondering what site everyone uses to view the GRN?

I upload a GRN pager monitor to this address:

http://www.sesrescue.com.au/pager/ (http://www.sesrescue.com.au/pager/)

I have worked out all the tags myself, so I can't guarentee 100% accuracy, but they are pretty damn close.

I hide the site from search engines, but don't mind letting other emergency service personelle know the address.

A few minor mistakes I saw today on the paging website, but generally they were good & accurate.

I telephoned in a damaged veranda tasking this afternoon & the 132500 went to 'music on hold' before answering. So the operators have been busy.

SES SCC will be active by volunteers & paid staff from 1700 Thurs to 0700 Friday. this has been preplanned in case of major damage when the storm reaches Adelaide.

Update: SES SCC & RCC's closed at approximately 2000 on Thurs.

SES don't think like a fire service.......They run job boards which fill up and they will work all night finishing all the jobs and clearing the board.

Fire Services call in resources until each job has been resourced.....


its true and i have noticed that some units do this more then others. and thats the way it shouldnt be we are all volunteers so why cant we all work together. in some situations we have to so why not sing out for assistance when we need it! i am a member of the SEs and i know our unit is bad for this but there is nothing members can do that will make them seek assistance.

Indications are that this is changing with major storm events going to a AIIMS style management. Thus the vehicles & crew will be combined into staging areas and allocated taskings. I understand that possible staging sites have been identified in the metro area. This would be a similar response structure to what happened in the Renmark storm event.

Unknown if CFS crews would be involved in the metro area because of risk of depleting of resources in the country areas.

But then, we are talking to taskings that limit structural damage not life threat. Yes SES can respond faster than tree doctors or builders, but sometimes do the tasks really need to be done within a few hours ?
Title: Re: Interesting Fire and Emergency Related Paging
Post by: Zippy on September 14, 2007, 11:08:15 AM
the way i see it trees that block a road should be done asap...cause of the possibility it will cause other potential events.

1.  ambulance going cat1-2 having to use up quite valuable time to traverse to an accessible route.
2.  vehicles crashing into it...happens more in the hills where tight corners and crests exist...and inattentive drivers...
3.  Fire service having to possibly take a much longer route to a incident.

and also a quick response, makes the person who called 000 or 132500 happy  :-D

we all respond to incidents, but we also undertake incident prevention.  :wink:

Thats why a good response to fixed alarm is a must.

Who says there wasn't a good response to the fixed alarm?

I was listening to the scanner at the time and from the sounds of it they had two appliances on scene at the rear of the premises.  They may not have been in view of the caller who reported the flame, but it sounded like they were still on scene dealing with the situation.

Really shits me when people give other brigades a bad name by not getting their facts straight and casting aspersions on their response!

And no, I'm not from the brigade, I just know how pissed I'd be if the same thing was said about my brigade.

I think it was just very badly worded. Perhaps a person in their 80's just out of hospital called because something was smouldering near their back door?

Those problems may exist if the water stays stagnent, however if needed im sure it could be used for fire fighting purposes.  The water levels were good then though.

Not sure if it is interesting but certainly tragic. The news report was fairly detailed on the alleged cause. One interesting fact was Barmera SES was responded as well -


1928012 10:58:32 06-10-07 VEHICLE ACCIDENT MEET CHRIS AT HEADQUARTERS AT 12.15PM FROM STUART
1918239 10:58:30 06-10-07 VEHICLE ACCIDENT MEET CHRIS AT HEADQUARTERS AT 12.15PM FROM STUART
1918239 11:20:00 06-10-07 CHANGE OF TIME FOR RCR CHRIS WOULD LIKE EVERYBODY IN HEAD QUATERS NOW FROM STAURT
this was after a phone call from SAPOL Riverland direct to the Unit Manager (Stuart)
The reason this was interesting is that this is a fairly common in this area, Barmera is one of the best SES RCR units in the State (those who know Stuart knows how pationate he is about RCR).
Barmera were called to provide traffic control, Berri were put on notice in case relief were required. Another interesting fact is this -

1919385 09:52:19 06-10-07 WAIK: *CFSRES: MORE CREW REQUIRED RESPOND WAIKERIE STATION 06-10-07 09:53
1919390 09:52:17 06-10-07 WAIK: *CFSRES: MORE CREW REQUIRED RESPOND WAIKERIE STATION 06-10-07 09:53

Very quick call for more crew? Should this have generated a call for a second rescue crew? (3 trapped) Not that I think it would have made a difference, but if we are to fix on going response issues then everyone needs to play by the rules. If faced with the same message I would definitely have responded a second team. Cheers

thats a standard press button message to say need more crew to get the truck going,  often pressed around the 4min mark after reciept of callout in the aim of getting the Crew on the Road within 6 minutes.   pretty much a silent Fire siren.    For this sort of callout, forget a simple pager message,  getting the fire siren going can ensure those in Blackspots get the message theres a going job right now.

I agree with RescueHazmat, 3 reported trapped, easy 1st and 2nd rescue on initial call.
It's like saying responding two BA briageds to a possible structure fire is a bit daft.

its SOP, quite often not followed  :|.....2 appliances responding to AFA's,  quite often cant be from the same station due to the chance of not enough crew responding.   theres always gonna be "the day" its more than a AFA, so having 2 appliances initally can knock it down before the fire takes hold....hopefully.

i still feel differantly, if you have multiple vehicles with entrapments in seperate vehicles then sure go 2nd alarm of greater if necessary... but it is up to the first arriving officer to upgrade alarm, not the operator doing intial dispatch. Opens up new issues when we already have too many with responses.

from my experience and knowledge (no not from an RCR brigade) you shouldnt really be getting to work with more than one set of tools on a single vehicle...

Bittenyakka - the alarm at woodside army barracks is conencted direct to woodside station.

2 Vehicles, 3 reported trapped and unconcious.. Even if the 'only' information was "3 trapped" I would send a second rescue on the ouset as the possibilities are alot higher that a second vehicle involved. (Particularly in areas where rescue resources are some distance..)


I believe in the paper the Ch.Inspector who witnessed the accidents made  reference to thinking there were 4 trapped.

I wouldn't take the risk and "hope" they weren't in the second vehicle.. Its much easier to put a stop back than respond them 15 minutes later because you have multiple entrapments in multiple vehicles..
Title: Re: Interesting Fire and Emergency Related Paging
Post by: chook on October 08, 2007, 07:26:53 PM
Mate you hit the nail on the head. 2nd rescue is about 40 kms away from the town concerned(and as I said were responded by SAPOL later for traffic).
The closest rescue to me about 18kms away, but that would depend in which direction the MVA is. Obviously if it was towards Loxton, they would get the nod. I know in Victoria there is a lot of discussion regarding too many resources crowding the scene. However around here we don't seem to have that problem often & when we do a discussion is held with all of the services involved and if there is nothing to do some go back home-simple.
This works with local SAMFS, CFS & my SES counterparts. Also some of the units here have some specialised gear (lighting towers, traffic lights etc) which we call on for bad MVA's/ Fatals, which means I can rest my people while nothing is going on, again less people at the scene.
Anyway I wasn't being critical of the brigade involved (have worked with them before & not a bad bunch of guys who know what they are doing), just surprised second rescue wasn't responded automatically.

Yes, it was tragic and perhaps your "BLIEVE" comment might apply to the young lad who was right behind one of the cars involved.
He certainly believed what he saw and it affected him as well.
By the time he got to his home in Waikerie, he needed medical attention for shock.
So how bout you spare a thought for other people in future?

I know when I saw the post it was the first I knew of the incident and straight away phoned a family member who I knew was riding a motorcycle in that general area that morning to make sure it wasnt them !!

So there was a 4 minute delay in the "more crew" page however the time put in the pager message by the alpha decoder box says 09:53. You would expect this box to get it's time off the paging network so to me that indicates the button was pushed pretty promptly after initial page but then took 3 minutes to dial out and send. So might be worth a Waikerie person looking into that.

Thats a long drive for Bordertown. Mack, you may be right with someone fiddling in town. We have found one week we get responded somewhere (in our area) and the next week we dont. Bizzare happenings up in town unless its operators just having some "manual input" into responses?

Quite interesting to see what is happening, I am wondering if some data for the SACAD is being placed into Boms etc which is causing some of these problems.  I am aware that this was the plan with the BOMS brigades.  Not sure if this has occurred yet. This could be why we might have some of these unusual responses.

Yes they have, back in Febuary or March they did :)....i believe it was probably region 1 and 2 they were doing at the time.

It involved a large print map,  and precise boundary drawing of primary and dual response area's.  and probably more but i cant remember  :roll:.

At that time we had discussions with neighbouring brigades/groups on exactly where the line meets to avoid future politics.  :wink:.

I can see how this would have happenned as 'Mannum rd Inglewood' is not in Boms.

You are correct Zippy, if 'Adelaide to Mannum rd' is entered Hermitage is reconmended although looking at the map Paracombe may have been better. Rescue would have been selected from the map and probably would have been Tea Tree Gully. Would this have been correct?

As for the concept of fiddling responses, that is ridiculous. We do our best with information the caller provides and the resources available to provide the right response for any incident. Bring on SACAD!

Negative to both of those. That response was correct and as per agreements. Responses aren't specified per street, the response is specified by a zone and the zone is then assigned to a street.
Olave Hill Road Hawthorndene is in the same response zone as Upper Sturt Road Upper Sturt. Since Upper Sturt Road is so long the response for a RCR has been defined as being rescue from Blackwood and Stirling with fire cover from Upper Sturt. So what happened was exactly what it is set in the computer system and agreed to. If it was Turners Ave cnr Olave Hill Road then that would be the 4719 & 4924 response.

So its not strange at all when you actually know what has happened and has been agreed to. SACAD wont change or reduce these "strange" responses. Infact all this discussion goes to prove my point that humans/locals can take more factors into account and can make better decisions than a generic computer response spat out from a data base. This is why any future system needs the flexability for a response/ upgrade to be defined by a human/local at response time.

You all want it both ways. First off you complain when its not as per the database, then you complain when it is done as per the database.
You should just chill a bit over this fanatical response precision. You cant have operators that know every bend and landmark and it cant all be incorporated into a database be it BOMS or SACAD.

HF 14

The Rescue Dual Response was an initiave by Upper Sturt CFS and Sturt Group and was agreed by The Lofty Group.

Unfortunately at this stage the dual Rescue response has not been occuring at all times.  But the dual response has been occuring as Upper Sturt and Sturt Group have been responding the appropriate responses on acknowledgement of the page.

At this stage the co-operation and commitment by brigades and groups involved in this response area have been making it work well for the community they serve.

I believe by all parties the responses are working well, adequate and correct resources are being responded in the overall situation.  Their is a good working relationship between Upper Sturt, Sturt Group and Lofty Group and in this response zone and I believe this relationship will continue and get stronger in future.

The short names on the pager messages were what we were promised from the start of the new CRD system.....but when the new CRD system commenced, it was found there were software issues, and short names couldn't be used without changes being made to the software.

At least two Regions were insisting on the short names (I am guessing the others did too - but I haven't heard anything from them about it)

It is good to see the change has now occurred.

it was explained in a fax to all brigades in the group back on 20th August ("brigade short names").  For the 2 digit suffix 00 is the default/generic one replacing 24.  The others (19, 28, 42 etc) remain the same as before.  There are more changes concerning CRD coming very soon, not quite finalised yet though.

....soo  why not just see WHEN the pager goes...how many people rock up...?

I am GUESSING that page was sent becuase a fire ban was declared, and no one (or not enough) has bothered to let the BDO know if they're available. (I'm also assuming it's a statewide practise to have a radio sched on a fire ban day?)

If you think about why those scheds exisist - so the group (GOs, DGOs, captains etc) have an accurate idea of what resources area available in the instance of an incident, it strikes me as quite fair to give the brigade a rev for being a bit slack.

Waiting ten minutes after a page has gone out to discover that a brigade has no crew is unneccessary on a high fire risk day. Similarly, if you know a neighbouring brigade is low on numbers you can make a conscious effort to fill your own truck, with the knowledge that you'll lose a couple of crew when you reach the fireground.

Lots of good reasons to have a fire ban sched. Bit harder getting crew to keep you informed!

I can never understand why we still have to see if we can get crews on a fire ban day by doing a radio check or call captains...We should treat each day as the same and if its a fire ban then you know you have to page extra units....

But why wait 4, 5 ,6 10 minutes etc to wonder if an you are able to provide an appliance on a high risk fire danger day.

Smarter I would think to know what you have in your station as crew and skill level.

I guess the other stations which perform pre-planning also are incorrect in their management and leadership.

The same could be argued for other (equally urgent)types of call outs......  :| :evil:

It is ultimately up to the Captain to ensure that there are enough crews for various call outs, whatever they may be..... I suppose some brigades do so in a more public fashion than others, via the pager, while others perhaps do so in a less public manner (eg at training, or via some other means). 

How the brigade chooses to determine its potential crewing levels is a matter for each individual brigade.   :-D

ANYONE AVAILABLE FOR STRIKE TEAMS IF REQD INSTATE OR INTERSTATE CONTACT THE CAPTAIN ASAP PLEASE CFS Weetulta/Nalyappa Info

So the question here is, is something going down somewhere that the news hasn't picked up on, or is someone just being very efficient in their pre-planning?
Title: Re: Interesting Fire and Emergency Related Paging
Post by: captain on November 02, 2007, 01:00:47 PM
No its just good pre-planning, bacause at our last group meeting (Mawson Group) all the Captains were asked to submit name of people who could go on task jobs in or out of state and for how long they could go for.

That part is the easy bit.
The head-scratcher is this...
You've just sent your only 5 people in-district off on a strike
team to the neighbouring group's area. All the rest of your
members work out-of-area in Adelaide CBD or further..
How to crew the second appliance for _possible_ local fires having
regard for members losing pay (food & shelter).
Remember, there isn't actually a local fire - just the possibility
of one.  It may not even be a TFB day.  How to spring your members
free of their employers without losing pay & good-will....

rescue code is 19. this is the new codes for SES responses, like our standard fire code is 00, theres is 029.
Title: Re: Interesting Fire and Emergency Related Paging
Post by: chook on November 03, 2007, 08:21:06 PM
Possibly wrong dude, no body knows what the codes are (no notification or information give out as yet), but I can tell you this every page for a RCR unit so far is 029 regardless of the task, every page for a non RCR unit is 020. Except NOA029 of course! So who knows, but Noarlunga is the same as Tea Tree Gully, Eastern Suburbs & Metro South - USAR, Shoring,Vertical etc. All metro units are General Rescue units, Storm/Flood damage, so I'm not sure why Noarlunga would be 029 possibly a mistake. Wouldn't be the first :wink: easy way to find out though check out the number on their truck if it is 91, then it is RCR if it is 31 (or 2, 3) then its not. Hope this clears up the confusion.

The call takers usually ask the diameter of the tree/branch not the length. Be a bit hard to call a 50 cm length a tree wouldnt you think?? Would suggest it is the diameter.

Rural location - Murray Bridge MFS would not be responded to this??
Monarto are closest brigade to incident so would of been first call, backed up by Murray Bridge with the Jervois bulk water carrier being called due to the remote nature.
Jervois34 also called to assist but stop called shortly afterwards due to the decision to take a defensive strategy......

I may have misread the pager messages but MFS were never paged?

Yet they call in crews from monarto and jervois?

It might be because the location of the premises is actually Monarto, not Murray Bridge, with it being just about halfway between Monarto & Murray Bridge.

Hence the 2 closest brigades were called initially.....

As for Jervois - the first call was for the Tanker - something the MFS Murray Bridge don't currently have.

I can't see any problem with the responses thus far....

No not Rafferty's rules out there. Palmer could not get enough crew to start with for what they thought was 2 different RCR so why not make sure you get enough cover on the road. Are you sure no cars involved to start with they where told 1 car so what is it dammed if you do dammed if you don't.

true, true If I was in a similar position I would have called for support as well. A neighboring unit had a similar problem two jobs very close to each other - turned out two different people called triple 0 and gave slightly different locations. Being called to some else's area I called them up (the other unit) and asked were we really needed. Of course the answer was no. Anyway better to have too much than not enough. The Rafferty's rules comment was about rescue not being called to jobs at all, but fire cover is paged seems to me that the Green book isn't being followed all of the time. cheers

I do know of one unit around here who have a registered snake catcher but as I said at the start filtered that! cheers


I believe Sellicks did a 'snake extrication' back in the day... lol

ya wouldnt catch me doing it though.

Did they do a risk assessment first :lol:
In the words of a well esteemed snake catcher last week on Today Tonight "if you dont get it the first time you wont get a second chance"

There was a page last fire season from a brigade that had one near their BA gear in the station, and members to watchout if they got a call :-o

Also interesting that the call went out to Clare SES but the stop call to Clare CFS. Hope SES got the message in the end.

Its the Air Desk at CFS, goes to a pager to alert them to a rural incident, then they decide if the bombers are needed and page them. So if you see this on your pager, don't assume the bombers are coming, its not directly to the bombers.
Title: Re: Interesting Fire and Emergency Related Paging
Post by: Hair on November 15, 2007, 08:58:01 PM
Hope this clarifies things.

The MFS BOMS system will be updated over then next few days to include a pager message to the State Air Desk (located within the CFS State Coordination Centre) for all rural incident types. 

        Incident Types in BOMS are;
        GB Grass Fire Ban Day
        GF Grass Fire Danger Season
        GO Grass Outside Fire Danger
        RW Rubbish/Waste
        SA Smoke in area
        TF Tree Fire

Note if incident type TO is used for a despatch and the incident is believed to be rural please make sure that SAIR55 is attached to the response.

The State Air Desk will be a recommended response for all of the above incident types statewide, we have not allocated zones just incident types. 

Under no circumstances will this resource be removed from a rural despatch, if the incident is not relevant to the State Air Desk it will be ignored by the State Air Desk.

Appliance Name for State Air Desk is SAIR55.

SAIR55 will be displayed as a resource despatched on pagers and MDT messages state wide for the above mentioned incident types.

Note: This does not mean that aircraft will be attending

Upon receiving the pager message the State Coordination Centre Support Officers working in the State Air Desk, assess if the incident is occurring within the primary response zone.  If incident is within primary response zone, then State Coordination Support Officers will responds aircraft via pager, included on pager message will be a distance and bearing from the allocated airbase to the incident.

State Coordination Centre Support Officers will then allocate the aircraft to incidents within CRIIMSON

i believe that SAIR55 cant be removed from the recommended response for the incident types as Hair has outlined.   

From what ive been told bombers for the Mount Lofty Primary Zone started today,  with FDI's above 20 making a Auto Dispatch plan in effect roughly between 10am and 5pm.

i think it would be great if it came up as SHQ108  bit more relevent to who it is.  SHQ - 108 being Air Ops.

Sturt Hwy Berri is the bypass road. not the Old Sturt hwy Berri which is the road thru town - highly unlikely that some of your scenarios would occur. But I take on board your comments as I dig further.

All ready passed on a complaint to Regional command & a SAAS guy who happened to be standing in the office. It appears our local SAAS people believe its not there job to enquire about fire & rescue cover. Interestingly the SAAS guy I was talking to said they have been told by management on numerous occasions to follow procedure (the guy is not from the local SAAS station but one near by :wink:).
Also the tow truck was called at 12:30, my guys weren't pleased when they found that out!
Hopefully we might get some action this time, I'm hoping that I might be able to talk to the SAAS guys after the exercise on Monday.
I will also be talking to our local SAPOL guy(unit member) on Monday as well, as the patrol had the road blocked with the tow truck but no warning lights or anything.
The incident was a 4x4 ran off the road, landed on its nose, spun 180 & finally sat on the vines. All we did was cut some strainer wires and dragged a vine out of the way. The driver was fine I was told.
Hopefully this was an isolated incident (not being called) and it won't happen again.
However if you see anything like this happening again put a complaint into kingy, I do the same to Scott and we may get things resolved.

They were a slight entrapment Renmark got them out after they got a crew - not too serious I was told both PT's out of vehicle before we arrived.
I was notified of the requirement to respond a minute or so before the page below:-

OK yeah sure it was only a small rubbish fire (infact play equipment i think in the end) and it was in MFS area (just). So does that make it OK for my crew to lay in bed and make the call not to go, just because it might be some crappy little rubbish fire, and MFS might beat us there, so what. The pager has gone off for a reason what ever it might be, how do any of my crew know that the Christies units might be doing at that time, they might be committed with a Fixed Alarm or a MVA else were in their own area and require our help. My personal thoughts are, we get too much info on the pagers and crews make up their minds weather to get out of bed or not, if it was a call for an MVA or a domestic I bet I could have had 2 units on the road no problems. Bring back the old link pagers I say (a tone and a red flashing light) back then we could get 2 units on the road and have 2 relief crew at the station on standby. AHHH bring back the good old days.

With regards to the KI RCR,

SES have a dedicated vehicle and crew on the island based at Pandana Basecamp for the duration of the fires so they can relieve local crews. They will not be responded by pager, instead directly by phone or radio (or even tapping them on the shoulder) by SES Command. Although Kingscote SES is still active and Penneshaw would be their area normally (??) I'm sure the SES rescue truck also went.
Title: Re: Interesting Fire and Emergency Related Paging
Post by: Pipster on December 17, 2007, 03:22:04 PM
I believe Kingscote SES is the rescue response for that area...besides, anything at Parndana is about a 40 minute or so drive......

Interesting tho', there was a crash part way between American River & Penneshaw last night (Sunday night)- both CFS & SES in attendance, but I can't find a pager message for either.....so the radio / phone contact might have been the way things were done...

I tend to agree.....

I always have believed that it is better to value what time can be given rather than ridicule people for not giving what you may expect.

By actively thanking people for what they can give I have found they in turn want to give more. It takes time but you can turn the tide..... :-)

Maybe not, but odds on that the thoughts of the vollies when they saw the response message were "ah, we always get a crew, someone else will get this one." and back to sleep they go.

Sometimes it pays to remind members that 'someone else' won't always get there.

I love people who jump all over 'lazy' vollies.

We have had times that during the day, we might at best, have 6 people available. 2 of those are shift workers, 2 are self employed and 2 of them are student. What happens when two blokes are on shift, the self employed blokes are busy and the student are studying?

Granted, it doesn't often happen, but if I have the choice of staying at work or pissing off my boss to attend a job in MFS area, that MFS will beat us to and we will almost certainly get stopped en route, what am I going to do?

Could comm's do a bit of thinking before paging just a Fire Only responding brigade, it'd get things running smoother and quicker for incidents. Its quite easy to know a single brigade that doesnt have RCR equipment other than a Toolbox cant deal with a Truck rollover themselves.  the only thing that helps RCR brigades out in the Palmer District is 100km/h designed roads.

Post by: pumprescue on December 20, 2007, 12:57:39 PM
Don't forget Mack, 99% of CFS brigades don't know what an SOP is, so you can't expect them to understand why these brigades such as Happy Valley and Morphett Vale do what they do. I think its very professional to cover your backside. Most brigades in the urban fringe have a setup like this, the public expect it. Bob's ute isn't acceptable in 2007 even though a large number of CFS in not so small towns still do it day in day out, with no come back, its funny how the brigades that try and do the right thing cop the most abuse from their fellow vols, yet the one's that constantly screw up never get a mention, in fact get supported by people in HQ. Sigh, makes me wonder......... :roll: 

PS: Kudos to those brigades, especially with the call rates those guys have been doing the last week or so. Makes you more appreciative of those slow spells  :-)
Title: Re: Interesting Fire and Emergency Related Paging
Post by: rescue5271 on December 20, 2007, 01:33:07 PM
I think you will find that most members are  well aware of what SOP's are and how they work the problem is that CFS does not explain how the busy brigade's are able to keep going the way they do. Its also well knowen that region one brigades who do EMS are by far the busiest in the state,time that we as a service stopped knocking each other and gave more support to these brigade's. CFS also needs to start looking at putting in more pumpers to these brigade's rather than part time pumpers....Its not only city brigae's that are busy some country stations are getting more work now than they ever have had before.
Title: Re: Interesting Fire and Emergency Related Paging

Because neither brigade can guarantee two appliances every time. Thefore to ensure that appropriate B.A. backup is responding to C Class and above incidents two brigades are responded.

For info Morphett Vale has a 24P, 24 and a 14 CAFS.

I think you will find that most members are  well aware of what SOP's are and how they work the problem is that CFS does not explain how the busy brigade's are able to keep going the way they do.

And?
Other responses aren't? This task isn't a SAMFS task, remember these are the same guys who are complaining about lack of resources
But I guess that doesn't matter & I thought that they were both full time & retained.

Ah but when the tables are turn - who are the first to complain :wink:
Personally I don't care, however the act states Storm/ Flood SES.
And when you consider about 80% of the SAMFS budget is wages, then you can see why there isn't any money for extra appliances, fire fighters etc.
I posted the Pirie job to highlight the hypocrisy in the services, this is one of many!
However if you guys want to keep doing those type jobs, which you don't get funded for - fine. I'm sure the Pirie SES crew were happy not to interupt their  New Years eve celebrations.
Oh and here is the tears icon :cry:

This was a previous incident that has been remarked as an exercise....so something must have been really borked for them to need to review or re do their turn-out procedures or whatever it is, if you look back at the previous page(s) you will see what has led up to this.

It would be interesting to know what exactly went wrong.

I think it is fantastic that the Brigade or whoever is mature enough to realise something has gone wrong, identify the training need and quickly train whoever to prevent it happening again.

as a nursing student who has completed attachment days with both adelaide and port augusta RFDS bases i would suggest that unless it is a retrieval (not all rfds jobs are) that by the time you factor in the 45 minutes it takes them to get airborne after recieveing call combined with flying time.......it may actually be quicker to drive them into town from yorke peninsula.

Thats a fair distance for Mt Compass, about 25kms to that scene, considering it's only about 4km for MFS, and 8km for SES.  And Goolwa is probably closer than Compass as well

not unusual anymore

the RFDS has implemented a policy in which they refuse to fly any patients to the city from the riverland, yorke Peninsula and the southern end of the mid-north anymore!  wouldn't it be nice to be able to pick and choose your work and defer it onto another agency?!!

as a nursing student who has completed attachment days with both adelaide and port augusta RFDS bases i would suggest that unless it is a retrieval (not all rfds jobs are) that by the time you factor in the 45 minutes it takes them to get airborne after recieveing call combined with flying time.......it may actually be quicker to drive them into town from yorke peninsula. (ps: wallaroo now has 5 ATS officer's)

I can see your point, but considering that SAAS is struggling with it's current workload in metro - it's hardly smart to send a metro resource out on a country transfer.

whilst some of these cases are RV's - there are a large number of known and documented cases where a crew drives to Renmark or Berri from metro and return - thus blowing your theory of it being faster out of the water.

PS: thank you morgan, for informing me of Wallaroo RMTS - which started 4 years ago!

PPS: Yes - I'm taking the piss!! :evil:

18km from Goolwa to Victor (dead flat all the way)

25km from Compass to Victor (quite hilly)

But anywho Hindmarsh Valley and the mets lads would have been there pretty quick and had it over in a jiffy.

And definatly not suggesting we should have been called either. :wink: In case anyone was thinking that. :-)

Ceduna's 2nd Alarm brigade's are a fair distance away, and they actually serve a large area as "the BA/RCR/Hazmat Brigade" in the region.

So there 2nd Appliance rolling is quite vital i assume.

i wondered that for a moment also, but the first one is a road north of clarendon, where as the second is the main drag, south of kangarilla... very differant locations. Pretty handy having Meadows on that dual response actually... got the appropriate resources going for both (just divert a rescue resource), otherwise ya would have only had Meadows on the road to begin with.

Simple really. Busy brigades that actually use their appliances are stuck with one and two decade old junk heaps that are falling apart and held together by masking tape and goodwill, whereas brigades that do a handful of jobs a year get the first trucks out of the factories...

Actually both the WFAM pages went to Seaford and Morphett Vale, it's just a pity that they haven't actually properly tested or commissioned that alarm yet - if they had they would have found that the response pager messages were ending up on our brigade info address instead of the brigade response one. That would explain why the Group Officers had no idea what was going on until the page from Adelaide Fire came out for 431 and 439. I believe the situation is soon to be rectified.

Yes a sprinkler activation would be a primary alarm. A no carrier is a fault in the link from the premises to the MFS. Or a fault at either end.

a no carrier means the alarm system is offline.... no connection to the service provider (MFS??) and therefore no information from the premises to the fire service.... fall back would be 000.

Title: Re: Interesting Fire and Emergency Related Paging
Post by: jaff on January 30, 2008, 09:24:29 AM
Yes bittenyakka it matters,the GRN talkgroups have been assigned for several years now and worked well having dedicated primary and secondary talkgroups for each group.
Now that AF have finally got around to following SOP10.14 and should be putting the primary response brigades talkgroup on the page ,it will help brigades such as your own that respond with other groups to help determine who is primary to each response.
The new funding arrangements that have been mooted will be very much influenced by the amount of primary calls each brigade does each year, unfortunately this looks to be the way of the future,tell me if I'm wrong,my thoughts only.

Cheers Jaff

Post by: Footy on January 30, 2008, 07:29:18 PM
On face value you are probably right. that post looked awfully like i was saying captain shouldnt be in charge. Let me clarify. A captain from a brigade that is consistently second or third on scene should not try and assume responsibility over the incident and assume that because they are there, everyone else should bow down before them.
I hope this puts the statment in context. Chain of Command is important, Captains recognising and following that chain at a multi brigade/agency incident is also important...

Post by: Darius on January 31, 2008, 08:22:18 AM
Yes bittenyakka it matters,the GRN talkgroups have been assigned for several years now and worked well having dedicated primary and secondary talkgroups for each group.

add "in region 1" to the end of that (as only region 1 have 2 TGs per group).

it doesn't really matter whether we have fixed TGs assigned to groups or use a rotating first-available system of allocation, except that CFS has chosen the first way so that is how we do it.

the reason why it is particularly a problem in this case though is that the pager message has a region 2 TG for a job in region 1, and apart from a few exceptions (and a bit of overlap) regional TGs only work within the region they are allocated to.  Anyway this error in this case is being corrected.

I'm not sure why non rescue teams are sent to these jobs, if was a simple pickup and carry  SAAS wouldn't ask for help would they?

The majority of Assist SAAS jobs i have been called to are just that, "a simple pick-up and carry" usually as the SAAS crew of 2 required another set of hands or 2. Having spoken to a few ambo's about it they generally say they ask for "firies" if they need a help with a lift. Which poses an interesting question, if a service requests a specific resource, eg. Firies, should the Comms guys be second guessing that??

from a saas point of view i have always been told that in our area SES would be responding to assist with lifts etc unless we need to have fire there for a reason its ok we have three different kinds of trucks to pick from one red two white with yellow and three white with orange.

Post by: pumprescue on February 03, 2008, 01:09:02 PM
Comms can't go on every local arrangement, 9 times out of 10 they want man power or a stokes, which a number of CFS and MFS have. SAAS are used to the fact that most SES take to long, and most towns have a fire service in them. Saw a classic example the other day at Waterfall Gully, took SES well over 25 mins on the bell to get to the scene, when you have a fire appliance with stokes and rope equipment just down the street, and they call another SES for backup, so it makes you wonder doesn't it. The fire service always get accused of playing games, but it seems that isn't the case !

My volly station gets several calls a year for patient lifts, 99% of the time they just want man power, and the other 1% they want a stokes. They want it then and their, they don't want to wait, someone is having a heart attack etc, they want the nearest resource !

But having said that, if SES are nearest and have quick turn outs, then so be it.

we work very close with our local SES (talk form SAAS view again)
we also what at least one full crew not one in a red truck and two in a white truck in our SES unit only 5 members live out side the town and out of them only two are to far away to respond for P1 P2 calls with a tun out time of less the 8mins at the same time if not soon after saas (when paged at the same time)

that "testing" is sometimes very superficial and cursory, I reckon for all the alarms done in my group area about 75% of them had some error/mistake on initial install (fortunately most were quickly noticed by the group/brigade and fixed).

mmmm.... i thought the install and programming was done, and then tested, with the brigade captain or another member acknowledging that it went to the correct adress, before the alarm went live.

mostly it is, and that's where the errors I mentioned were spotted, while the contractor was still on site so could fix it straight away.  However there was one in our group that was changed over without the group being notified so obviously the plan is not followed all the time.

You would hope they were tested before going live wouldn't you, but the one that went in to a nursing home down our way recently wasn't. Consequently the only way we knew it was active was when we got responded to a call there.

Maybe if it had of been tested someone would have picked up that the messages where going to the wrong address. As far as I know it still hasn't been fixed, we still haven't had any test messages from them - and that was over 2 weeks ago now.

Hmmm, great error checking there.

They have always done it, keeps the troops informed, and I guess if you don't want to know about it, then don't have your pager on, if you didn't go to the call then clearly your not very interested anyway so you may as well turn your pager off.

Can someone explain if there is a genuine reason behind this? Or is it just one of those things that some brigades do and others don't?

Particularly if you are in a busy brigade, where perhaps one appliance has responded to a call, and another, unrelated, call comes through, it is good to know if the crew at the first is back in station, or still tied up on something

Members can then make a decision as to whether to race down to the station, ready to take out the other truck or not...   very frustrating to race to the station, only to find the first truck left the station as the pager message came in, and no second truck is required....   :-(

Within my own brigade, we send out a "returned to station page" - for a couple of reasons.

Generally, for any call, the first appliance is gone in around 6 minutes.  If the call is during a weekday, then the next crew are often 30 minutes away (eg have to leave work, and make their way to the station). For some, leaving work early is not an option, but at finish time, they need to decide if they should go straight home, as quickly as they can, ready to assist with the call, or do they wander home, doing their errands on the way.

If the page goes out, to say the crew are back, then the other members know the status of the call.

It also alerts crews to the return of an appliance from a strike team - that is so we know the truck is back, and second, so that anyone else around the place can go the station and assist with cleaning it up / restocking / restowing.

Our "Appliance returned to station" message works well for us

not an SOP but a guideline, you can respond with less with permission.
Also you are reading too much into a pager message that presumably wasn't sent to you (as is common on this forum), eg. perhaps Arno Bay already had 2 members at the station and asked MFS to just request 2 more people.

it used to be three but then it was made four crew and its a must not a guideline i was in a brigade that would send 2 crew to a going fire on a 34 and its hard work to run a job with a driver and one on the back.  and to be correct you should have 5 crew 4 on the truck and 1 at station other wise lock the shed and go through Adelaide fire until you get some one on the radio at your station or your group base can open

Quote
An explosion and fire has caused the evacuation of a busy shopping centre in Sydney's inner west and sent flames high into the air.

The NSW Fire Brigade was called to the Broadway Shopping Centre in Ultimo just after 1:45pm after a high voltage sub-station exploded.

The shopping centre has been evacuated and no injuries have been reported, although at least one person was reportedly stuck in a lift after power to the building failed.

At least eleven fire engines were called to the blaze. The size of the fire is not yet known.

A large crowd has gathered outside the shopping centre which has been barricaded off by police.

Have you seen the fire? Post your comments below.

Eyewitnesses reported flames and smoke shooting from a low air vent at the centre, and smoke billowing from a car park, although the fire appeared to be contained by about 3pm.

A staff member working in one of the shops above the blast told The Daily Telegraph Online flames reached high into the air and smelled of burning plastic.

Mobile phone coverage was also said to be down in the wake of the explosion.

The blast is the second to strike the area in as many weeks, following a separate explosion in a nearby apartment building last week.

A Nando's takeaway chicken shop on Mountain Street was gutted by that explosion, which also forced the evacuation of 1000 people in the early hours of February 4. 

The cause is still being investigated but Nando's has blamed a problem with the gas main.

Half the problem with the CFS is the fact there there are far too many people who follow the book to the letter rather than adapting the 'rules' to the situation. There are so many variables when it comes to firefighting. Can't we just be happy when a job is done professional and to the best of our abilities?

...or do we have to nitpick the living hell out of everything?

well said numbers....


now we might cut and paste that rant into every other topic on this forum where people have a go at Adelaide Fire/SAAS comms/SAPOL Comms or SAAS crews/MFS Crews/SAPOL crews whenever things don't go to as they "think" they should have!

yeah nice idea broadmatrix not that you havent had your share of rants on here i guess this is a place for people to let of steam about issues no matter how minor i reckon just about every body on this forum has had a spit about someone/something, or servic.

so if you dont want people to have there say close the forum we all know everything has its reasons each station for each service has had to get things set up to suit the way they work at the moment working for the CFS/SES/SAAS isn't always good as we all know and even though we are not paid it still gets stressful MFS are paid im sure they get stressed when things dont work same with SAPOL and Career SAAS let people blow of steam if they dont blow it off they will quit and soetimes its better to write it down show people you dont know that well and walk away.

The value of people having a rant/spit is two fold ,it lets the person vent and god knows we all need to do that sometimes, but it also opens up our own perfect little worlds to criticism, you certainly don't have to agree with it! but it might just make you reflect on the way you do business and possibly find a better way .

Cheers Jaff
Better make that three ways, it is fun to have rant/spit sometimes, you got that you bunch of stupid,filtered, filtered, filtered , filtered tossers :-D :-D

There is nothing wrong with venting if something happens to you, but getting your knickers in a knot because you think that some brigade halfway across the state didn't do something right, or exactly by the book is just silly. Then there is the rampant commcen bashing which achieves nothing...

 :-D I'll go with the filtered bit but you can keep the tossing to yourself!
I prefer to think of myself and cool calm and collected under strain and the rest of you filters can go and filter yourself :-D :-D :wink:

Actually venting is good for the system, everyone needs someone to be able to do this with and I guess I am lucky as I have someone I can have a grumble with after a job or about an issue and it gets it out of the system. This should be a safe place to have a whinge without getting jumped on.
BUT.. you do always need to remember that just going on what is on the page does not reflect what is actually going on on the ground. I know I have paged for 2 crew members to go to an incident and what you would not have seen was the 3 crew had who were extra from the first truck that left and were available to go on another truck.
It is okay to ask it as a question but not to damn it without having all the information

what does 'WFAM' stand for on the alarm messages?
And how do the alarms work?
As soon as it goes off does it go to the pager? Or is a dispatch notified which then in turn notifies brigades?

It stands for (i think) wireless fixed automated modem??

I believe when the alarm goes of it goes up to town and the computer registers the alarm and automatically sends out the preset response, whether it be a WFAM alarm or sprinkler alarm. I think it takes about 45 seconds after the alarm goes off to the pagers dropping.
I could be completely wrong on this though.

Ah... hasn't it always been Smoke In area for either people seeing a little bit of smoke, or smelling something burning?

I've always been turned out to "Smoke in Area".

And Zippy, doesn't "Smoke sighting" and "Smoke (visible) in area" essentially mean the same thing?

It hasn't always been that...smoke sighting was the old one i.e BOMS it was more specific....thats my opinion....my interpretation of smoke in area would be like an area is dutched out where as a smoke sighting is a visible plume.

Well just picture it this way Smoke in area no visible origin then smoke sighting and a visible origin. You know what I mean as though smoke in area would mean you driving around trying to find a source where as smoke sighting could be more specific......

And Zippy, doesn't "Smoke sighting" and "Smoke (visible) in area" essentially mean the same thing?

I would think Smoke sighting means its seen visible from a location into the distance...while Smoke in Area would actually be in the very near vacinity of the caller.

SOCC could write what ever incident type they wanted...there were no presets..There was even "Tractor Rollover"...in MFS terms thats a MVA...typically MVA's are found on the road, but this rollover occured on a farm...so it could be a "Rescue General"  ;)

My god, when will people learn to stop interrogating their pagers? It says there is an incident of X type (RESCUE, STRUCTURE FIRE, RURAL FIRE, HAZMAT, GENERAL ASSISTANCE) at a LOCATION.

How is that not enough information? You have a general idea of the incident, it allows you to select which truck you take, then you drive to the LOCATION see what the incident ACTUALLY is then deal with it. SIMPLE.

Smoke in area/smoke sighting at given location, still means that you drive to an area and look for the smoke, then extinguish the cause...

I'm with you - I would only have the problem with it just sending you to an area without telling you what it is you need to be looking for or doing. Smoke in area ?? Gee, lets take a fire truck and see if we can find any fire that is generating that smoke, I'm guessing it means someone is smelling smoke or seeing a haze of smoke in the area without actually seeing flames or the source of it. Then again maybe you could issue a press release asking people to not ring up unless they actually see smoke, would that be better :? :evil:

Did Smoke in Area replace smoke sighting or is there a different one for say a plume of smoke? Because when I read smoke in area I think its just a haze....?

im almost 100% sure it has always been "smoke in area" in BOMS...

An alternative is to pickup the telephone in the station or brigade mobile telephone to gain more information, rather than use a GRN talkgroup. Can be quicker to discuss & clarify than 'waiting for over & out'.

So if a person rings up and says "I can see some smoke at the end of my street, and I can smell burning" you get turned out to "Smoke in area XXXX street" Commcen may not have anymore information. Sometimes the cause of smoke is not obvious at all, so "Smoke in area" is a rather acceptable reason to be paged.

Perhaps the confusion has come from "Smoke in area" being the BOMS response type, yet SOCC putting "Smoke sighting" in certain pages to certain brigades?

I still don't understand why people are having so much trouble grasping the fact that Smoke in area and Smoke sighting are the same thing. They both mean someone has seen some smoke as is unsure of its origin. Its not rocket science. If someone can see what is burning then isn't it paged as "Grass fire/Domestic fire" etc etc? YES.

But for a RCR more information can be available than will fit on a single pager message. Even for the 'tree down' jobs we can also have extra information. For example, street access information, contact details, risks (powerlines), etc.

Some taskings no further information is available...

Of course that can be the case. I was just suggesting to Zippy that its quite possible for there to be no more information than is on the page. RCR are a little different, I always make a point of asking if Comms can confirm persons trapped at the very least.

Mack, I'd be a fan of "Dark grey smoke issuing from the combustion of the contents of a room in a domestic dwelling." :D

no problems mate, the old pages from SOCC were typed in airsource. Therefore they were able to put whatever they felt like into the message. Where as BOMs uses pre-determined incident types, which leads to the famoous "Respond TO" for when they dont quite suit.

MVA = Motor Vehicle Accident.  A tractor is a motor vehicle, an unintentional rollover is an accident.
At no point does MVA = a road job, just as tractor rollover wouldn't mean a farm job, because it could also be on the road...

Incident type is general, the specifics come in the extra information.

MFS: *CFSRES:concordia RESPOND stop, ( for private alarm 05/03/2008 8:48:01 AM CFS Barossa Group Officers Response

MFS: STOP FOR CALL CFS Roseworthy Response (08:51)

Now I did not hear the radio traffic associated with this call so I am only guessing that this was not a going structure fire - if it was and all the other brigades were turned out as a result of an upgrade then please dismiss my further message.

If however this was a standard Private Alarm and the other resources were responded as a result of brigades not being able to get a crew then I will begin my own hypothesis on the incident.

First of all why are Dalkeith being responded to Private Alarm by themsleves, this is a two appliance response which for nearly all EMA brigades would indicate a two brigade response (rural brigades will only ever be paged singularly because BOMS is not setup with their data). EMA brigade zones should be setup with two brigades for any structure fire type incident.

If someone in Dalkeith was switched on enough to realise this should be a dual response call why does it then take 12 minutes to respond another brigade, or if  turning out Gawler River was a result of no crew at Dalkeith then again I ask why does it take 12 minutes to default. Obviously someone must have acknowledged the page with MFS or they would have defaulted them after 4 minutes, so therefore whoever does the acknowledging then takes on the role of ensuring a suitable response occurs, in any case after 4 minutes if you have not heard any appliance respond you should be thinking about defaulting.

After 15 minutes Dalkeith still don't have a crew - no problems we all have those days sometimes, but then MFS from Gawler and Concordia CFS are responded 27 minutes after the initial response. Surely if you push the more crew button after 15 minutes you should be contacting Adelaide Fire immediately to inform them that we cannot respond you had better turnout someone else in our place.

Roseworthy were responded 36 minutes after the inital call, I am assuming this is because no other CFS brigade had actually managed to crew a truck and the MFS  from Gawler were wondering why they were deep in CFS area without them there.

So about 30 minutes after the initial call someone might have actually arrived, god help us if this was a going job.

I have my 'armchair expert' hat firmly attached to my head so I would love for someone involved in this call to fill us in on what actually happened, hopefully it is nothing like I have explained otherwise the whole thing is just an absolute joke.

I am not conented with the issue raised in the above post in any way, but from what i can gather, Hiller is not CFS area any way.  All previous calls to Hiller have been MFS first off. So the question that should be asked, is why was Dalkeith responded to MFS area in the first place with out MFS going.

TWO workers have been injured, one of them seriously, in a structural collapse at a southern suburbs winery that has spilt one million litres of wine.

A platform supporting a stainless steel tank collapsed on the two men at Wirra Wirra winery, on McMutrie Rd, about 12.30pm, and one was trapped in the wreckage.

The other  was able to free himself and is shaken but not seriously injured, according to paramedics.

The man who was trapped has been freed and is on his way to Flinders Medical Centre with spinal injuries.

SafeWork SA has been advised and police are on the scene.

thats umm rather a lot of wine?! 333 34's worth to be precise :-o

I am not conented with the issue raised in the above post in any way, but from what i can gather, Hiller is not CFS area any way.  All previous calls to Hiller have been MFS first off. So the question that should be asked, is why was Dalkeith responded to MFS area in the first place with out MFS going.

Riverbanks, Hillier, Parr and Angle Rds are all zoned 92B in BOMS. The turnout for a PA to any of those streets in Dalkeith only. Turnout for a SD adds Virginia. That's consistent with the boundaries we have loaded in OziExplorer.

I'd also send Stirling North  :evil:

Any chance of getting a copy of the Boundaries/responses Layer in the Oziexplorer setup for Comcen?? (Assuming your using the Mt Lofty topographical map ;))

Google Maps would definately say No to Stirling North being responded :P    (283 km – about 3 hours 34 mins)

task has been passed to central region do as power outage at lynton makes roller doors...a manual proposition. SES Metro South Response

I find this concerning that an agency concerened with disaster response doesn't have contingencies to do with power outages, or has a high reliance on electricity to be able to operate and respond.

Do any other brigades out there have similar relainces on electricity, or do they have back up power etc.

Any thoughts

All units have generators however most builings are not wired correctly to hook up generator power (yes I know there is a dodgy way but).
A recent request to upgrade our electrical system, so that we can do that & comply with current ohs & electrical standards was knocked back - NO MONEY.
Seems there are higher priorities in other agencies, than complying with state legislation. So its not a lack of planning or professionalism on the part of the units concerned but rather the powers that be!
This soughtof thing makes a mockery of the whole SAFECOM/ESO portfolio!
Anyway cheers before I say anymore!

The page was a "dig"at some people in high places - it should not have been sent, so that everyone can read them-however!
You guys amaze me, very quick to question another service when things don't look right but on the other hand go right off when the criticism is leveled at your respective services. An SES recon team is two people, that is the minmum standard for general response.
If you want to throw stones 1) Urban pumper dragging a combitool down the road, not this area 2) Urban pumper total of 3 crew to a MVA 3) CFS 34 crew of 1 to a MVA 4) CFS Hazmat respones 3/4 hr after other services arrive 5) SAMFS Pumper "rear ends" another pumper - need I go on?
Yes we all have problems, however like it or not we are an ESO & will remain so - get used to it!
Suggest there were other problems - "1908032 15:40:45 07-03-08 replacement duty officer required phone ********* SES Metro South Info"
So I think the issue is being dealt with internally, did it really need the comments?

Chook if you want to get into a filtered measuring contest about which emergency service is the worst and shouldn't be throwing stones, I can tell you right now, from the three SES units I work with on a regular occasion, I have never ever seen a job done in a professional manner. There have always been massive issues of either flat out incompetence or self importance being more important than the job at hand.

I'm sure you country guys who actually perform rescue work are half decent, its just your retarded city cousins that are smearing your reputation amongst the other services.

As I have said, there are issues in ALL services, perhaps more in some than others, but there is nothing wrong with pointing out stupidity or incompetence in any service - especially our own.

Hopefully once its commented upon and the issues brought forward, it can be fixed!

Its nothing that you can "check" I believe Bill.. From what I have heard, it seems to be an intermittent problem with either the main control box, the rear pump panel, or, the wiring some where in between..

However, I have heard reports of this through a number of various editions of those appliances (Mainly the more recent models).. So hopefully what ever it is, it is picked up and rectified SOONER rather than later!!

Yeah granted if they were doing a burn in the middle of summer i would tend to agree with you.  But the weather at the moment is perfect for completing controlled burns.  So in the event that it does break free like it did yesterday it wouldnt travel far.  Yesterdays effort burnt less than a hectare i believe.

By the looks of that, the SES state duty officer was notifed of the response, then 6 mins later a stop went out.. - Maybe in that time he was in the process of sending out a Unit response?

SES were notified though, so you can only grieve to your heirachy if what I can see is what occured..
Title: Re: Interesting Fire and Emergency Related Paging
Post by: chook on April 26, 2008, 07:23:19 PM
Yep already spoken to the regional DO to find out what happened, but in the past the state DO and the unit would be paged together (takes time to organise the boat etc). Now we seem to be controlled more by central, several weeks ago (the two semi fatal at Monash) we were responded without any request by the unit in attendance (Barmera), they weren't even informed we were coming!
We (the local UM's) have already asked "Is this (Monash)a one off or is this the way we are going to operate from now on?"
It appears that going forward Unit Managers (used to be controllers) have less control of our units.
This time as I said the outcome was a good one, however next time that six minute delay could cause a very different result! Hopefully this was an oversite and not a change in operational practice! By the way any search near the river would result in the boat being deployed early as a possible so it (the river)can be discounted & the quad bikes from Barmera and a team from Loxton or Renmark as well! The plan is to hit the area hard and early to contain the person quickly, as I said time is of the essence.
cheers

If the attached map works you will see you are quite right, unfortunately
if you type "Glossop" into the system Barmera gets responded. In all honesty I'm not particularly worried about this type of stuff anymore as the Commcen can only go on what they are told. Of more concern is the other stuff thats going on around the place like "volunteers charter" that we didn't know about until 2 weeks ago & other weird stuff like that.

I did my own search for 'TRENAMAN ROAD, GLOSSOP' in Google maps...and the first suggestion was acutally 'Trenaman Crescent Berri SA 5343'  It wasnt until i corrected the spelling that it came up as 'Trennaman Rd Glossop SA 5344'.

Quite right about the response being decided on the town name rather than the pin point location, since outside the land of the UBD map theres no preprogrammed addresses...so all youll get is "Vehicle Accident, GLOSSOP CFS, GLOSSOP" or "Vehicle Accident, BERRI, BERRI"...either way...a Fire brigade and a  rescue brigade will be "recommended" best suiting the township chosen...

I think it all depends on the mind of the call taker ;) Cant trust a computer for filtered these days...

If you have a good T/O that gives you the state and region course lists, that should make the best of the 'advertisement' side of things Zippy. That is a big IF though  :wink:

As to what the course has in it, when I did it, it was focusing on the different types of maps used, as well as how to direct someone correctly, and finally looking at major and minor landmarks to use as points of reference given a major disaster.

Yep & maybe that discussion should of taken place prior to a Stop call being issued in the first place, interagency coordination at its best :wink:
After all these guys are volunteers who have jobs to got to in the morning, so as I said a bit of consultation at the scene & a decision made would be a lot more professional than "go" "don't go" "go" don't you think?
Anyway I said my piece & I'm sure the payed staff of our service will look into it.

1. Call a plumber to fix the roof, then,
2. An Electrician to check the wiring is safe and dry,

but why "000" ?.

Sometime ago now, the circuit breaker was invented.  Even more recently, the RCD (safety switch) was invented.  These should adequately protect the installation from catching fire, in this circumstance.  But if your not sure, turn the filtered thing off just in case. Then refer to 1. and 2. above

Unless there is ACTUALLY a fire, dont call the Emergency services - don't you think they're busy anough at the moment!

Lack of proper home maintenance does not constitute an emergency.  More than likely, we will just isolate it and tell the owner to call a sparky anyway.

Enough said.  Whinge over  :-D

Could have been a call to 132500, not 000. At that time both lines are answered by MFS ComCen. A person being electrocuted is a risk in my book.

During the late afternoon, I answered a 132500 call as a SES volunteer when SES SCC sctivated. The resident stated the handyman sent by the insurance company would not fix the 'water blown under flashing on a flat roof' due to the storm. So the insurance company suggested SES be called to minimise further damage. She had water dripping from the family room light fitting, so the ceiling would be next to collapse.

I do not know what the volunteer crew did at the tasking, or if the SES Unit accepted the tasking.

Protection of injury and structure.

Seaford Road is closed between Commercial & Grand Boulevard while they rebuild the road. This closure started during the weekend.

Seaford CFS have had a dirt road put in a few weeks ago so that they can enter & exit the station while the new Seaford Road gutters were built.

This access road might have changed this week.

And I gather that there may have been changes with CFS that they are trying to get used to - e.g. Glossop being called to a Monash job! (apparently response areas changed a month ago).
So whinging about it is a waste - its not a pefect world after all.

Well the risk is minimal as 24P isn't really a pumper anyway, unless you class pumping out 1650lpm a pumper (I know the specs say 1900lpm but some independent testing with some pretty schmick gear confirmed our own numbers).

Also CFS don't have any spare pumpers anyway so the best we can get is a 24, if our appliance isn't going to be back this week we will push for a spare but really there is not a lot you can do.

Actually, he's from Bradbury ;)

I believe Oakbank Balhannah don't have atmospheric monitoring other than a PID - making Burnside the closest most appropriate resource... :)

Are you talking about Monitor Hazardous Atmosphere course cause theres one in July - Aug sometime. If your just looking to detect something i agree you shouldnt have to do the course, but if your using it in confined space sense you need to be able to intepret what the detector is reading.

Post by: Footy on June 28, 2008, 11:21:33 AM
You're soprt of right pumprescue, There is definitely a clause in the employmen contract saying retainees must make it to the station for 50% of the calls, and ride for 50% of the times they make it, but as far as I can see it is up to the individual stations to enforce these.

If getting your quota of firies is difficult, then you are going to be less likely to give someone the flick, as opposed to a station that has a waiting list for people to join (not actually sure if there is a station in this category at the moment tho??)
Title: Re: Interesting Fire and Emergency Related Paging

I doubt its up to the stations as to keeping you or not, the HQ see's the pay sheets, if your number hasn't clocked on for month after month then I think you will be asked to turn your gear in or give a good reasson why you aren't around !

Some retained that I have talked to, have stated that the money you get for responding is less than the money they get from their business/paid-work.

So I think they are more like volunteers because the money incentive is not there.

yes, im aware of the geographical location of middleton and its surrounding brigades, still your not really fixing a problem by removing there fire appliance...

3 appliances, 3 stations, answer seems obvious to me... the cfs attitude of its "our appliance" needs to go, there all state resources.
Title: Re: Interesting Fire and Emergency Related Paging
Post by: Cameron Yelland on July 01, 2008, 05:34:45 AM
you both have very good points.

Yes they are state resources, people need to let go.

but on the other hand some brigades spend hours putting TLC into the trucks in their station and unless the brigade on the other hand have the same morales then the truck receives no care at all!

very interesting issue!
Title: Re: Interesting Fire and Emergency Related Paging
Post by: chook on July 01, 2008, 08:26:48 AM
Three things
1, I see merit in both sides of the debate, we were asked to consider lending our primary rescue to another unit until their new one was built & then we would get ours back (I was in another unit at the time but advised the members that this idea sucked!) Eventhough they are a state resource, why should one unit be messed around for the sake of a couple of months? And why should they the get their old one back (which was one of the first in the fleet)instead of a suitable replacement?
2, Why have two appliances gone down in the same brigade with problems that seem major in the middle of the "off peak" season?
3, As the neighbours seem very close why not "man up" on the surrounding brigades trucks (which will cover their area)until theirs are repaired?
Don't know just seems simple issue to fix to me.

Port Elliot 24 has gone down with a serious plumbing issue ( i Beleive corrosion has led to a hole in the plumbing) which has been considered too expensive to fix. They are earmarked for a new 34 in july?? And their 34 went down with a plumbing issue as well.

Nope, not in recent times ... toooo many failsafes on the patawalonga and westlake gates now.

Check http://www.dwlbc.sa.gov.au/urban/patawalonga/system/index.html & click on the current levels (warning it takes a long time to update the chart to realtime data)

The tide chart at http://www.bom.gov.au/oceanography/tides/MAPS/adelaide.shtml does show 2.67m on 20th July at 1747 at Outer Harbor. Basically above 2.6m high tides from tonight to Monday night.

More interested in St Kilda, railyards west of city, showgrounds, torrens rivers and associated creek, airport, etc , for metropolitan flooding.

Because it is still dry, I think the broken water mains is the main flood risk.    :lol:

Also, not much wind forecast to create a storm tide or rain to have large outflows through the estuaries or pipes (eg Onkaparinga River).

Sounds like a lot of fishing could be done this weekend......

IDS20235
AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT - BUREAU OF METEOROLOGY
SOUTH AUSTRALIA REGIONAL OFFICE

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.

Yeah true,however it happens to us all - for example early last Wednesday morning a major MVA happened deep within our turf but we didn't get responded ADL fire called Moorook, Glossop & Barmera CFS, Barmera SES and ambulances as far away as Renmark yet Berri SAMFS & us weren't invited! (I know it's not strickly MFS area but they were the closest)
I know for a fact that if the shoe was on the other foot those concerned would cut sick :-D (It's happened before & at least we had the courtisy of telling them!) I'm not sure if the new unit manager will do anything- nolonger not my problem.
All I was asking is this such a big deal? As they have trouble getting crews occasionally.

I wouldn't get to concerned about it, are those same 100 people ringing up going to turn out so they don't consistently fail to respond, CFS people like that really annoy me, they are quick to carry on when something like this happens but you never see them when the truck needs to get out the door at 3am.
Who knows it could have been a road that led onto a CFS area, might have been a nothing call, why turn someone else out, just deal with. I am sure if 421 went to a call in 43's area they aren't going to ring each other and cry. Worry about getting out the door to the calls you DO get responded to  :x

You mean if CFS responded into MFS area then Stopped the MFS because it was a nothing call there would be sparks?  I highly doubt there would be any issue - most of the SAMFS guys I've met have no problems with being logical.

Jesus, I still don't get why there is an issue beyond "You got to have some fun and we didn't" It has happened to me before, where we have attended a job, and on our way back to our station, we have come across another job, a few hundred meters from the local CFS station. It was a minor MVA, your usual "Apply medical treatment untill the ambos arrive" gig. Our pump had things quite in hand, yet the 'other' station blew up as they weren't invited to the job. We gave their captain a courtesy call once we had returned to station, he was not a happy boy.

Given that the incident is delt with in a timely and professional manner, what is the problem?  You see people cracking the shits about minor MVA's and bin fires etc etc - I don't understand it.

Title: Re: Interesting Fire and Emergency Related Paging
Post by: safireservice on July 28, 2008, 03:16:01 PM
So if a CFS crew were in MFS area, came across a job, dealt with it and went home without notifying them, it would be ok. I dont think so. Have been down that road, we notified then on return to station (all it involved was about 5 m2 grass, comms cracked the shits and sent an appliance out to the area to "check it out" So there would be no issues? Bullshit.

What would happen if the CFS truck was way out of area say Piccadilly CFS visiting the airport and we came across a nice bin fire on the way home Which we see no MFS in attendance yet so we call it in to Ad fire and get to work. Is that not our duty?

Or should we just drive past and go not our turf, and then when it spreads into exposures and becomes a factory fire.......

Can I ask how you have proof they are playing around with the responses ?

I don't think the Comms staff go out of their way to mess with responses.

If you look on the pager site Salisbury CFS couldn't turn out anyway.

Also last time I checked BOMS isn't smart enough to work out where the middle of the road is, the Salisbury MFS crew did the right thing and realised its in CFS area and told comms, and comms turned out CFS.

I think you all need to worry about making sure your own brigades get on the road, I reckon most people's brigades consistently fail to respond or take 10 mins plus to turn out. You only have to watch the pager site, how many "more crews" and then defaults do you see. I think MFS should be treated nicely as they are covering a LOT of backsides at the moment, look at the major brigades they are covering North and South, I would be very nice to them. If they want to push it you might have lots of spare time to go fishing !

We were bringing our 24P back from NE Isuzu one day when we came across a MVA outside Mitsubishies at Lonsdale. We assisted with patient care and making the cars safe until SAAS arrived, and in the meantime our LT got on to SHQ who turned out St Mary's.  When they got there they were surprised we turned them out at all and couldn't care if we hadn't!

Yeah good mate. Initially the SAMFS guys attacked form the top. We were the requested to launch the boat to assist with preventing the spread along the river bank. We decided to deploy our portable pump rather than the flotation (more reliable & quieter). Once the spread to the south was contained, it was decided to place the ROSA down on the river bank (20-30 mtrs away) & relay to 609 which then had an almost endless supply of water, they deployed hp lines to blackout from above. In the mean time 601 & Chaffey tanker were at the northern end to deal with that. It was decided to speed things up a bit another boat was required, so Renmark was requested. Once the boat crews had stopped the spread, the firefighters left the boats and proceeded to blackout using the portable pumps. Task was completed at about 20:00 hrs. An excellent job by all & it gave me an opportunity to say a goodbye to people I might not see before I leave  :cry:
Now before anyone asks, it was decided by the DGO on scene to use the resources already on site rather than calling "other people".
It was a pleasure to be a part of the job.
cheers

this site is so good for a giggle!!!

correct me if im wrong (i dont think im wrong) when mfs get a call the put in the suburb then street and what it is or in reverse,

there is no need to entry appliance (cfs or mfs) as we all have gone over our responce area and told/corrected who or what goes where

in this car when the comms officer put in heaslip road road it would have come up with eather salisbury or virgina responce with maybe mfs back up.

so how then if the comms officers dont change the responces did neather get responded???? :? :? :? :?


ill tell you why comms officers have no idea.!!

If you take a closer look at the mystical MFS cad software,  it is easily possible to change the "recommended" response.  i believe that ability has to exist simply to add extra brigades/appliances, or change obviously wrong responses.

Imo, they do an alright job,  but like everything,  they could be better.

Trust me, if you put that address in the MFS dispatch system, it comes up MFS only, as it abutts the Airforce base. If there is an issue take it up through the usual channels, its right on the CFS/MFS boundary.

and I have heard of CFS brigades being told off for squirting water during training while the drought/restrictions exist....so now they use the CFS to bypass the water restrictions ????

Thanks for the notice, why dont they list everything that isnt on scene?

Quite simple - no fire no smoke no entrapment - SAMFS/CFSSA not interested!
Big hole in wall, looks dangerous, residents concerned that further damage may occur - SAPOL interested! (think public safety :wink: ).
Just remember that SESSA are the Lead Agency for structural damage therefore any decision to Stop a crew should be left to the SES DO.
If it were me I would be putting in a grievance form, so correct protocols can be developed & followed. And at the end of the day SAPOL are the coordinating authority so before any team is stood down or Stop called wouldn't it make sense to ask them first?
Just my thoughts

Yep a very stupid decision that was made by our service chiefs when GRN was introduced!
And the same situation will continue until the heads of the Fire services officially acknowledge the role of the SESSA & the SESSA start planning for stuff other than USARCat2.
Similar organisations in NSW can talk to each other with a push of a button on their GRN handsets.
It is a very poor state of affairs when we can't talk to each oth by radio!.

Not so Ken.

Structural damage equates to being a USAR, which SAMFS & SASES are both listed as control agencies for.

Your point would remain valid however if this were a SACFS/SASES response.

Title: Re: Interesting Fire and Emergency Related Paging
Post by: chook on August 10, 2008, 10:13:54 PM
Yep fair call :oops: However I have noticed that the fire services tend not to worry about temp shoring if there is no entrapment where as SES will shore to prevent further damage.
But this seems to be happening a fair bit, hopefully the problem will be soughted sooner rather than latter.

Easy way to solve that is tell Adelaide Fire to get them to go to a Multi Agency Talkgroup eg TG037 for communicating with us.Alternatively have a STOP CALL page sent via Adelaide Fire :wink:

The fire services acknowledged the SES's role with storm damage, and look where that got the community (atleast in the metro area). We now have a degraded capability to respond to storm and tempest incidents, with jobs backing up until the SES decided to invite the fire services to help, by which time there is already a ridiculous backlog of work to be done.

CFS is well aware of these problems, and has tried to address them, but given it is an inter-agency thing it all takes time (far too long but that's govt!).  Hopefully things will change in the future (still talking at least a year or more away though).

037 is simplex so not that one, just request a MA talkgroup and you will be allocated one.  I have heard group officers ask Adelaide Fire for one in the past when there were multiple SES and CFS operating in the group area, it works well and should be done more often.

Maybe you are right Numbers but when I was in a NSW SES vehicle the local guy explained that if you wanted to talk to RFS push this button, NSWFB push this button, CB this button etc. Also rescue is despatched by police comms (VKG?), so interoperatability would seem more likely. And you are right Multi agency is great when its used, just takes a bit of planning to use it (i.e need to contact SAPOL comms) & people seem a bit reluctant to use it.
On the storm/ tempest thing it's legislated so the fire services acknowledging the role didn't need to happen - remember it's the control agency so any agency can be on the front line. But you are right again it's senior service members protecting turf. And thats all about protecting your funding base :wink:

just a few words like wall collapsed or shoring required can make all the difference in an SES response as to do they need extra gear

we get the other problem of CFS not reading the entire page

read details dont read who is coming so when its hamley bridge 19 (cant remember short code) and kap029 they dont read it

we rock up with all the bling on and find out we were never required and CFS defence is we didnt know you were comming you show them on the pager and they go oh sorry but mistakes happen and we all get over it

There was a bit of confusion with this job, initially it was treated as CFS area, then it was changed to MFS area, then back to CFS area and finally they left it at MFS area - interestingly the CFS map books show it as being in CFS area. The house was pretty close to the boundary but the line goes through a paddock behind the houses not a house or road.

Morphett Vale and Seaford and MFS were on the initial page, Morphett Vale only had three crew at the four minute mark so we requested Mclaren Vale to respond. At the six minute mark Morphett Vale 24P responded with five crew, Seaford Pumper also responded. MFS arrived and upgraded the initial response so Morphett Vale 24 also responded with a crew and extra BA operators as well as an extra MFS pump.

House was going end to end when crews arrived, two BA operators from Morphett Vale teamed up with two from MFS to go in and do a primary search and exinguishment. Pretty much your standard house fire with lots of damage and an occupant with smoke inhalation. Happy Valley were also responded for a Change of Quarters to Morphett Vale to cover the Seaford and Morphett Vale areas.

In the end it was left with MFS as they wanted to claim it as their area and our guys were happy to leave them to overhaul all day with fire cause.

Standard level of confusion but at least we managed to get a couple of trucks out the door from our station, hopefully with our new batch of recruits now on the trucks things should be ok for us.

There was a bit of confusion with this job, initially it was treated as CFS area, then it was changed to MFS area, then back to CFS area and finally they left it at MFS area - interestingly the CFS map books show it as being in CFS area. The house was pretty close to the boundary but the line goes through a paddock behind the houses not a house or road.

Morphett Vale and Seaford and MFS were on the initial page, Morphett Vale only had three crew at the four minute mark so we requested Mclaren Vale to respond. At the six minute mark Morphett Vale 24P responded with five crew, Seaford Pumper also responded.

Also, the VA box might be ticked for incidents that involve vehicles, but aren't necessarily an MVA, (Like person hit by car, fallen off bike on a road etc), so Fire/Rescue might need to be responded.

And the Road Accident Research people look at crashes involving vehicles (eg cars, trucks, motorbikes, push bike riders) as well as pedestrians (eg those walking around as well and "gopher" type pedestrians. - Under legislation, gophers are defined as pedestrians...)

All of it, if your the poor victim!

Frightening, Painful - Yes, but no, not exciting.  As a Firefighter I'm sure it would get my adrenalin pumping, as I am sure it would have for those who were trapped, but I still wouldn't call it exciting.

Report in the Sunday Mail says three people hospitalised after being knocked off a ledge when the bus hit them after rolling down the hill.  Fortunately all escaped with only minor injuries.  "It is beleived a handbrake problem on the bus may have been the cause of the accident"

Panalatinga is starting to tally up a few fatalities. And from what I have seen, the only strategy that has been put in place is to put red light/speed cameras on the corner of Pimpala Road.

The double fatality was 500m up the road from where another fatality was only a few months ago. I know that there are roads everywhere that are hot spots for this sort of thing, but Panalatinga to my knowledge (i grew up in that area) has only recently become an area of concern (well should be).

Im not sure if you can fill me in mattb about any apparent rise in accidents,  being from that area,

but I really hope that the responsible authorities really take a good look before it gets out of hand.

It's not the road that is is the issue, as pumprescue said the road is in very good condition with lots of room and a good surface. In the incident a couple of months ago and last nights job it was just a case of the driver making a very bad decision.

Unfortunately the job last night resulted in the young child loosing both parents and maybe an uncle, then again we could easily have had five dead given the impact and the circumstances, not to mention the peanut that tried to kill us on the way to the job - but that's another story.

That's right, both those fatalaties involved the drivers making poor decisions and ending up in the same tree, in those cases it was to try and go twice the recommended speed and launch themselves off a slight rise in the road. Given that thousands of people drive over that same rise everyday without dying I don't think it can be blamed on the road.

nope, your exactly right matt. I reckon the government has got the camera facing the wrong way on that intersection, needs to be for the cars going east to west over that lip...
It's only natural for people to need something to blame tho.
Title: Re: Interesting Fire and Emergency Related Paging
Post by: calspec on August 18, 2008, 02:11:12 AM
I travel westbound through that intersection almost every day.  Now, I am NOT suggesting that the road is to blame for the two fatals into that tree - purely driver error, but you only have to be doing 60kph heading east to get very light on your wheels, if not some good air time.  IMHO I feel that some realignment could reduce the severity of the hump, but I'm no road designer.

It only takes a little speed and not much more stupidity to risk a close encounter with that tree.  At least they could instal some armco barrier on the south side of Pimpala Rd.

It would be interesting to see some speed camera shots of west bound traffic there - would be like an episode of The Dukes of Hazzard!

I still have trouble understanding what it is about the MFS pages that people find so hard to comprehend. It's very simple [Incident Type][Location][Further Details] (yes its simplified). Why can't people stop and take two seconds to read the page, comprehend it, and continue?

Ok straight from the horses mouth ( I rang and asked) the only free text part before inputting the address is the field for the house number, it seem they have found you can type whatever you like in there, you can't free write in the street or town field. once you get to the next screen you only have a limited choice of incident types, no free write ability. once you go through the motions of inputting brigades required you then move to the next screen where you have the ability again to start typing. Once you hit send if you chose the incident type of TO and free written a job type in the street number field you get a message that comes out like so MFS: *CFSRES INC032 18/08/08 14:21,RESPOND To Oil Spill,WANDANA AV,GILLES PLAINS MAP 95 M 7 TG182,CNR N/EAST RD CAR V`S MOTORCYCLE DEBRIS,ON ROAD,BLP211

They also stated that no more money is to be spent on BOMS as its an obsolete program, it will be maintaned until CAD comes in. So we just have to put up with it for a while longer.

07:00:15 19-08-08 There is a Fire call and two personnel can not take truck need more thank you MFS Pt Augusta Response


Hmmm, 12 minutes and only two people at the station and no default brigade responded, surely this is unacceptable.

In one of the other threads I thought someone said that the retained stations need to default just the same as the CFS do - it appears as though they don't think so.

I wonder if the UFU will crack the shits at the MFS and start writing reports like they did with a certain CFS brigade that struggled to get out the door.

Just curious, what constitutes a 2nd alarm RCR??  Not one that I have seen before.  I imagine that first crews possibly required assistance.  I beleive this was a two car MVA with at least one fatality (SES were later responded for tarping).  Don't know how many appliances responded to the 1st alarm.

Sounds like a nasty one.

If you have persons trapped in seperate cars the policy is to upgrade to a second alarm as you can't work on 2 cars at once.

249 or 329 was probably on its way to it,

This incident was the result of a Police High Speed chase, a collision between two cars outside the BP Service Station, with 4 persons trapped, of which two were deceased :-(

Appliances in attendance

Adelaide 204
Adelaide Car 14 DO
Adelaide Car 31 DO
Adelaide Car 40 Safety Officer
Angle Park 361
Oakden 301
Salisbury 329

Multiple ambulances and a retrieval team were sent to the scene.

Enfield SES were responded also to provide shelter as it was pouring with rain.

204 came a long way for a second rescue appliance, would of thought Salisbury CFS might of been the next closest rescue for this one, out of their area but may of saved some time waitin for 204, salisbury cfs would of had to cover mets rescue areas north either way.

Closest, yes, most appropriate, perhaps not. SAMFS only have the one "Heavy Rescue" truck, that being 204, the '9's are merely pump rescues and the CFS not much above that. Lets not nitpick a good response...

Nah im more concerned about how the Operator managed to type  "Persons Trapped" in the message,and wasnt aware that he/she didnt include a Rescue brigade, and for such a long delay to realise that fact.

I must be missing something important here.... the typing in the pager message that persons trapped is to CFS response.

If you are accusing SAAS ComCen then I do not understand the comments made. The SAAS just page a response priority don't they, not incident details !!! The extra details is via radio.

Or is Summertown CFS not a RCR brigade. If not, why did they not query the resources when the truck rolled ?? Or maybe they did & that was the 12 min delay !!

Not much detail given & a lot of people complaining on this forum. You will not never have the full details of the incident call receipt & dispatch issues from a 'pager website'..

Relax....

To be fair what everyone is commenting about is the fact it was a single brigade response to a "RCR" page with no "Rescue" resource added.Person ok, but having issues getting the door open is a little bit of a grey area, considering information is coming from the public.....if I received a page for an "RCR" and noticed it only had a single appliance response I would be asking for a Rescue resource straight away.Better to cover all the bases than having to wait longer, and as we know sometimes when it's time critical the outcome is not always good.Stop call never hurt anyone :wink:

Isn't this more a case of an SOP not being followed?

Unless things have changed recently, if CFS is responded to a report of a crash, then a primary brigade AND a rescue brigade is sent...regardless of whether there are reports of persons trapped or not....?

This morning, I called in a crash - via SAPol.   I made it clear that there was no one in the crashed vehicle, and no occupant around.  The call taker advised that they would send CFS & ambulance...which they did.

The response was the local brigade, AND the nearest Rescue...just like the SOP says so.....

So what I can't understand is the inconsistency of the responses...  :|

To be fair what everyone is commenting about is the fact it was a single brigade response to a "RCR" page with no "Rescue" resource added.Person ok, but having issues getting the door open is a little bit of a grey area, considering information is coming from the public.....if I received a page for an "RCR" and noticed it only had a single appliance response I would be asking for a Rescue resource straight away.Better to cover all the bases than having to wait longer, and as we know sometimes when it's time critical the outcome is not always good.Stop call never hurt anyone :wink:

There have been many occasions when the Fire Service has not been called to MVA's and it wont be the last.

To be fair, far often we jump all over the comms operators without knowing what was going on. For all we know, the call may have come from the occupant of the car, rather than some retarded passerby. I understand what you are saying and if I had been OIC of Summertown, I would have queried rescue resource response. Oftentimes we have pages from comms where MVA/RCR are used interchangeably. As a crusty old Snr. Firey once told me "Don't interrogate the pager, just get to the station" I swear some people on this forum want a full patient history, dimensions of car/building as well as pictorial description of the surrounding area on the pager. I wish that people on these forums wouldn't second guess our comms operators all the time and trust me, I know all about the Fire Service being not turned out or incorrectly turned out to MVA's.

When will the impotent whining stop?!

But you need to be very careful about trusting implicitly the information obtained from members of the public, about what is actually going on!!

I go to many jobs on a daily basis in my work - and often find the information given by the public, and what has / is actually occurring are very different.

That is why there are SOP's.... and in the case of CFS, we have have an SOP for what resources to send to particular incidents, so the call takers and dispatchers don't have to try & take guesses at what (and who) to send!!

Pip is spot on about why i brought this up.   Would be nice, if Paid Staff did a lot more administrative work for brigades, but really also, help us have a easier time doing operational stuff (ensuring correct responses every time, more than enough is better than too little)

Dare I be cynical enough to suggest that people who get angry with the public for this should remove their blinkers!?

Title: Re: Interesting Fire and Emergency Related Paging
Post by: Pipster on September 02, 2008, 11:25:14 AM
I'm not angry at the public - just stating that what some tell emergency services about what is happening, is quite different to the situation occurrung.

Occasionally it is malicious / mischievous, but more often it is because they have only had a quick glance at the situation as they drive past, and report what they see - which is only a very small part of the incident....or in a panic over the situation, and can't tell you much about what is actually occurring, or they get second hand info, to ring through to the emergency service, without actually being there.

If we talk specifically about road crashes, there was one recently, a single car vs pole, one occupant, trapped and DOA.

There were at last 5 different callers who rang in, and got 5 different versions of the crash.   One said there were 2 cars, 5 people trapped, 2 dead, one really bad, and that the cars had been drag racing.  Another said two trapped, several cars involved.

It was all the same crash.  The other cars supposedly in the crash were passersby who had stopped to assist (and hadn't crashed at all).  The 5 people supposedly trapped where the passersby who were trying to help, and had not been involved in the crash.  There had been no drag race.

People's perceptions vary, depending on a wide range of factors, and reasons.  In this case, it appeared that SAPol and SAAS took the information based on the worst case scenario, and sent appropriate resources based on that information (I guess MFS did, but their pager messages don't show, so I can only assume they also responded appropriately - no reason to suggest they didn't)

While you have to go with what people tell you,  until emergency services arrive to assess, you have to carefully consider what the public tell you, and put appropriate procedures in place to take into account the information you receive.  Hence part of why we have SOP's!

Workcover would be well within their right to refuse a claim if the person involved wasn't wearing the required PPE by their own choice, and wearing it would have prevented the injury.
I can't comment on this situation though.

I check my PPE every week at training, give it the quick once over. If if been running through scrub, or at a structure fire then its gets the once over as well. Gloves, and other small gear also gets the heave-ho as soon as its defective...

PPE is there to save you life, if your gear is busted just order more!

Workcover would be hard pressed to prove you didn't check your PPE & they wouldn't bother anyway. And just a slight correction in SA Workcover don't approve or reject claims - the claims agent EML does & they will just about approve any claim (hence the big debt). Having said that CFS like all government departments are Self Insured - so it's not Workcover/EML accepting or rejecting claims its SAFECOM! So as the employer and the claims agent they may be a little more "aggressive" about claims management :wink: (most self insurers are).
Finally unless you run a log for each piece off PPE, How would anyone know?

How about when groups refuse to supply new equipment too. Then there is times when at training courses the participants are told certain equipment should be on the their truck and when its not they are told they are not getting the equipment because they don't'need it'

Again shouldn't be happening, you MUST have the minimum equipment, if your group refuses then take it to the next level. In this day and age there is no excuse for have sub-standard or not having equipment. Gone are the days when its up to what the Group Officer "thinks" you need.

I'm dealing with it buddy, as I said, just commenting about the use of non CFS terms causing issues on the fireground - I mean if you can 'slip' and type it out, no doubt it must be easy to 'slip' and use it in verbal conversation. It's not like its that hard to swtich off... You don't see people screaming "Make pumps 4, rescues 1 and ladders 1" or that they have a "shout" just because they 'picked it up' from another service.

Nothing wrong with helping the SAAS team at medical calls Naracoorte brigade and salt creek(r3) have been doing it for years,last year SAAS from here where out of twon in penola and they had two call come in at once for jobs in Naracoorte rather than page the next SAAS unit which is almost 50kms away we where paged  and by the time we got from the fire station to the saas staion and got therir second bus out they where there and we worked as a team...

We have done training with SAAS and a number of Naracoorte members are approved SAAS drivers...

I would probably actually use "Bells" more than "Alarms" in conversation with other firies/mates.. I know when to switch off.. Not like some.. :) & Im not from NSW (or the mexican state) so I don't say "make 'trucks'"..  :wink:

I didn't know you were from the sates either Mr. Supercrank! ;) You of all people should know that our all our eastern comrades from Cairns through to Warrnambool removed 'Make trucks' from their respective lexicons years ago!

Now all we need is to adopt the UK "Shout". Far more Pub-like and relaxing than "Fire call" or "Callout" :)

nah...it just seems to becoming more obvious...eg being called to do a Medical case as first responder recently.

MFS: *CFSRES INC036 14/09/08 10:43,RESPOND Assist SAAS,20 GRANTLEY AV,VICTOR HARBOR MAP 309 Q 10 TG195,,VHB719

Interesting job on the weekend, SAAS had a Cat 1 job at Victor Harbor, from what I could tell on the scanner the closest cars were at Willunga. Comm's called up and relayed to the crew that firies (MFS) had been responded as there was no one close by and they had an AED, SAPOL had also been responded to assist.

First time I had heard them actually admit to responding the fire service as a first responder, I guess when you have no other option though. As it turns out I think they got an off duty crew into Victor to assist and they got there before the other cars.

I know that SAAS are keen to expand the first responder program and will likely target vollies from other emergency services in the rural areas. Should be interesting to see what eventuates.

Post by: boredmatrix on September 18, 2008, 10:56:18 PM
perhaps SAAS should seriously look at reasons as to why their area coverage is RS....and start looking at those who sit in front of 3 screens at a desk and tell the cars where to go.......i'll think they'd find the answers quickly....

but...employ peanuts and make em work like monkeys, but pay them well..and there is no incentive to do better!  There's a seriously good reason why a large chunk of the SAAS comms Senior staff are considering jumping ship.....but management just turn the blind eye to it and hope that the good will of staff will continue!

Maybe its about time they started training all brigades even ones which only get maybe 5 or 10 calls a year as SAAS first responders so if the situation when SAAS assist comes up then the closest brigade could be called  :-)

Robert I am pretty certain SAAS first responders are required to do a skills maintenance package each year just like members of St John do, this means they are actually required to turn up to Brigade training sessions to get their skills signed off. When was the last time you attended brigade training????????? If you where a member of St John you would have been asked to hand your uniform in a long time ago for not completing your skills maintenance. If you don't beleive me why not turn up to training and ask your BTO I beleive he is still a member of St John. :-D

Robert,There is no need to train every brigade but may be one or two of the larger brigade's with in a group who have members that are willing and able to do the training but also are willing to get right into the red and brown stuff.Its more than just putting a band aid on someone hand and I can tell you its filtered hard work pumping on someone chest till SAAS get there

I am well aware of a number of brigade's within CFS that have or are looking at buying O2 and AED out of their own funds so as to help SAAS but also to look after their own members at a job. SAAS numbers are low both in the staff and the volunteer stations,time they fixed that problem may be take those members out of comms and put them back on the road??

332 was diverted COQ 35 for the second call

359 then went K4 so 332 went back to 33

301 went COQ to 32

It was all in hand.

Cos DEH self-respond along to CFS jobs, just by watching the paging feed......bit lame at this time of the year,  but alright in the height of summer i guess.   It would be nice if Adelaide fire had the ability to page the DEH Bases. also identifying themselves as "DEH Morialta 14" would help...

17:03:58   13-10-08   to all mundoo members the fire season has been brought foward to the 15th november 2008  CFS Mundoo Group Info

So does someone now something that even headquarters state they don't or are they guessing?

QUOTE from AdelaideNow news site 13/10/08
"SATELLITE images suggest the fire danger season is approaching faster than the Country Fire Service is prepared to admit.

The Bureau of Meteorology predicts the state is "ready to burn fairly soon", but the CFS is yet to declare when the fire ban season will begin."

The dates for this fire season are supposed to be Gazetted this Wednesday - so all dates will be official then.

I heard a CFS spokesman talking last week about the Fire Danger Season, and indicated that it is likely that the dates are going to be brought forward two weeks.

I guess we will find out for sure tomorrow!!

from the Tiser site

FIRE has destroyed the rear of an empty house at Enfield. (Inc 018)

The fire at the property on Leron Ave was reported by a passer-by at 11.15am and took 30 Metropolitan Fire Service firefighters 15 minutes to bring under control.

Damage is estimated at $150,000 and fire cause investigators are at the scene.


At the same time there was a Factory Fire at Edwardstown so I'm guessing there was a bit of a shortage of red appliances for a while..... shame about the TTG response, but there cant have ben too much concern as I didnt see a replacement paged

the information on the website is pretty much 100% incorrect to what may be happening...the website status may say "going"...and may only change to completed 10 hours after its actually completed.  Its CFS SHQ who update it, only through the informtation that comes via Fire Reports or when ever the State Air Desk is operational, who essentially deals with processing these reports....etc.

The Data on the CFS website is reproduced off of CRIIMSON which is the most up to date information contrary to Zippy's beliefs. For day to day incidents they will remain going for 2 hours after the last entry in CRIIMSON.
For most incidents the only information in CRIIMSON is the initial response and acknowledements depending on how enthusiastic the operator is. The incident summary on the website is for public information. It is not intended on being a resource tracking tool for over-enthusiastic,information craving volunteers...

Thanks for the compliment    :roll:   But I am a computer nerd that loves to understand how the data moves through a system & thus accuracy of the presented public information, then an over-enthusiastic volunteer..

.. and I have been in emergency services long enough to know about 'resource tracking' & how hard that is. CRIIMSON contains some information (last time I accessed the Intranet website was 12 months plus ago) but never everything you need.

It will be interesting to see how the other agencies handle this facility when their new websites are launched.

if you check out: MFS: *CFSRES INC080 10/11/08 21:52,RESPOND RUBBISH FIRE,DRIDAN AV,RENMARK MAP 0 0 0 TG193,LADY THROWING PETROL ON FIRE. CLOSE TO H,OUSE AND TREES. FROM LOCAL POLICE,SAIR55 REN618 MFS Renmark Response

reckon you will notice that they didnt book off for training.

I think the 'have themselves to blame', refers to the fact that MFS would have dispatched them, so you would think they would get it right?.. (Not suggesting it wasn't right, one can only assume there was a reason the response was different to the norm)..

well.....i guess they only have themselves to blame if the response was incorrect.

Maybe they had booked offline for the duration of their training - so they handed their response roles to CFS for that particular time - most CFS Brigades do that at some stage if u have a specific drill underway.

The whole response to the Speedway job wasn't by the book, 1) that part of the Sturt hwy is Renmark's area both MFS & SES, 2) page asked for lighting & according to people from my old unit they assumed that Renmark was on scene already & they were just to provide lighting - very surprised when they arrived and found out they were the rescue crew.
Footy my understanding is that it would not have mattered how quick, fire cover and rescue arrived on seen, the end result would have been the same (if you get my meaning).
As been said before, its not a perfect world!

439 and Seaford were responded because that road is partly MFS and partly CFS area, Morphett Vale would have been responded because 43 only had one truck in station and therefore they would have been going as 43's second truck (C Class risk now those pesky car fires) and then I can only assume 401 (which was at 42) went because you cannot use CFS as your second truck without responding another MFS pump as well.

Also there is a response plan in place for Stage 2 of the Southern Expressway (Becah road South to Main South road) that says that all CFS appliances respond to the Southern end and MFS appliances to the Beach road end, that way whichever direction the traffic is flowing they will still be able to get onto the Expressway. It was actually for this one and only reason that Seaford were issued with the rapid intervention gear, the theory being that if the Christies trucks were unable to go against the traffic or the Expressway was blocked with cars that Seaford would still be able to make a start from the southern end.

Sure, like all Retained/Vol stations, everyone can have some difficulty during the day for crew. But to say things 'have not been good' is slightly over the top.

I dont think it is any shock to anyone that Pt Augusta have been struggling lately, you see quite a number of messages requesting more crew from them or mr McNamee letting everyone know that one or two crew are not enough.

It's interesting listening to the retained guys, there are not too many occassions that they get out the door in under 5 mins, most of the time is 7 or 8, and then there are some stations that struggle to crew at all.

Just goes to show that paying people isn't the answer to crewing issues.

Not quite the first one was an actual job involving a collision between two vehicles and a 100 metre oil spill as a result.Old Belair Rd was closed for almost 2 hours
Belair 34P on scene and Sturt Deputy blocking the road at the top.

The other paging was a exercise as Sturt Group train on friday nights :wink:

I am assuming MFS Comms have similar Hazard warning systems that SAAS & SAPol use, in relation to things like nuisance callers, regular MFA's, aggressive occupants etc etc at a particular address, so all crews attending are aware.

I believe this address relates to behaviour of the occupant.

The default response type of "Domestic Fire" can cover a wide range of different incidents. It doesn't always mean that the house is going from end to end. As long as comms has made an appropriate decision based on the information they have, all is well.

CFS SOP is two appliances [which usually means two brigades...] however the vollies in some areas without BOMs data get too make there own decision on ALERTS.

My personal preference would be two brigades, due to the nature of vollunteer organisations not being able to garauntee crews.

A HOUSE fire causing $100,000 damage is being treated as suspicious by the Metropolitan Fire Service.

Crews were called to the unoccupied home on Commercial Rd Hyde Park around 6pm to extinguish a small grass fire.
At 7:30pm crews returned to the same address to find the whole house ablaze.

It took more than twenty fire fighters to bring the fire under control.

The Hook trucks are 2017, 2037 and 2047 - the callsign 2016 only comes about when the normal 206 is off the run, the PODS don't change the callsign.

they keep forgetting to say Talkgroups only take up Tower capacity if someone actually PTT's!

Leaving a radio on 124 24/7,  the nearest tower will only broadcast 124's voice traffic when somebody's talking.  Otherwise, your just on the tower control channel like everyone else.

not that chestnut again, that's incorrect, it doesn't work like that.

the nearest tower will only broadcast 124's voice traffic when somebody's talking

Zippy, yes largely correct, if no traffic is on the talkgroup then no site voice frequency (ie. 'resource') is in use, but the radio is still using a 'slot' on the system (for your radio ID) and still taking up some space ('bandwidth' if you like) on the inter-site links, but that is all pretty minimal compared to using a site voice freq.

The biggest problem is people who are at an incident and have a radio on a talkgroup that is not being used as part of that incident, as traffic on that 'non-incident talkgroup' is then taking up local site resources that could be being used for talkgroups to run the incident, therefore increasing the likelihood of network busies for everyone, compromising the running of the incident and in the end, everyone's safety.

bah......when ur finished in fantasy land, your welcome to rejoin the real world. OOOOOH.....a serve from my GO, now thats a shake in my boots sort of encounter.

As for spitting the dummy with busies.....nah, why waste effort about what happens with a GRN radio....its an accessory, if it works, great, when it doesnt, life still continues, fires still get extinguished and jobs still run. They didnt work at Mt Osmond, or Onka Goerge, or Mt Bold.....so don't get reliant on them when the big one comes to a location near you. In fact, it would be really nice when the big one does happen, to be able to switch the filtered thing off rather than listen to the endless drivel that ties up hours of talkgroup time. Brevity would be a nice concept for all concerned (MFS, CFS and SES) to understand. Maybe we should go back to VHF line of sight comms....if u cant see the fire, you dont need to know about it - but sadly i dont think our systemic need to control would allow that.

Title: Re: Interesting Fire and Emergency Related Paging
Post by: Zippy on January 04, 2009, 02:53:04 PM
the mfs seem's to have it way better,  just have the 150 dribble away ignore it, and pay attention to the local simplex 182 for your incident.

Imagine never having to report to your local station or group base ever again. 

Have Group Forward Command posts for higher alarm incidents.

Everyone in Region 1 Listen to 124...give Arrival's, Requests, upgrades, stop messages to Adelaide Fire. 

All other comm's would just be done via the simplex "line of sight radios".

hmmm, true. But, im with Mister-teddy, Incident Controlling with Less worry about the Radio may or may not be a good thing.

As for MFS,  pretty much the purpose of 2090 is to act as the "Group Base" for Higher Alarm/Risk incidents, and 2090 feed stuff back to adelaide fire nearly every 5-15mins while operational.

Wouldnt mind seeing 2090 operate a rural job some day. Incident controller and Operations officer can sit in comfort heh.

wouldn't mind seeing 2090 on blocks and used for homeless accomodation somewhere in Elizabeth. All it does is bring the micro-managers closer to you...why would u wish that upon urself?? If they need to sit in comfort, if they need smart boards up the kazoo, if they need 30 talk groups and if they DON'T need to see the fire....then leave them at HQ.

The need to feed endless "story" back to 150/124 Comms is a furfy.....it is a radio room thats all. It actions our requests and is currently used to record stuff from the crew (for legal and other purposes), hence the very long winded and very time consuming dumb arse sitreps we keep hearing - but it is not a Controlling function. Thats the purvey of the Incident Controller. Equip the IC correctly with a Tough tablet PC and a bunch of simple off the shelf software, and all that radio chatter is gone, and all the necessary info is available, and a whole bunch more. Only talk to Adelaide Fire (or Group HQ or Div Command or anyone else) to explain why you need more toys (the actual request can be automated) or to tell them u've had enough and sent all the boys and girls home for smoko.

Sending a bus (sorry .... coach) with Senior Officers, radios, tv, desks and whiteboards in it to help you manage a fire is about as close to 21st century thinking as proban one piece overalls and 2 feet long straight bore branches are for serious firefighting. Oh yeaaah.....we still use them don't we......silly me, my bad. Maybe some stop/go bats in the bus would be a good idea and SAPOL can be relieved from traffic control to then be able to respond to the local hospitals when needed.

If so I'm not a fan... I much prefer old(previous) style

Where's the Daily Inc# gone?? makes it much easier to be responding to Inc#Blah, rather than having to name the incident by its location before having full confirmation of the actual location.

what do the comm's operators on here think about this matter??

the MFS Bom's dispatch system is down.  The current format was used by CFS SOCC, it was clear cut and precise.  Both format's have there advantages pixie.

The comm's operators will know where your going even if you vaugely say the location  "Mobile, Car Fire, Seaford, Over". The Incident number system is just a for comcen operator ease of use of the system and also keeping grn air time available.

It just gets filtered when the call rate per hour goes up for comcen.

Just curious, when paged to a car fire this morning they forgot to add the CFSRES bit and hence only went off in the message tone.
 I rang Adelaide fire as soon as i got in my car to have them set off the pagers with the alert tone. 
It took nearly 3 mins for this page to come through and when it did they used the URGMSG prefix and set our siren off.
a) why does it take so long to generate a page like this
and b) Comms seem to use the URGMSG prefix alot for stop calls and the like and would set of quite a few town sirens in the process, why is this?

Not having a go just curious thats all :-)
Title: Re: Interesting Fire and Emergency Related Paging
Post by: Zippy on January 15, 2009, 08:35:56 AM
a lot of them dont understand the difference between   nothing, CFSRES & URGMSG.

Nothing: Info Tone
CFSRES:  Response Tone
URGMSG:  Urgent Response Tone & siren

they should be able to remember those three things....they get paid to???

Put your siren on Manual activation only to avoid the incompetency leading to unwanted noise.

The way BOMS is set up, when you send pager msg emergency it adds URGMSG, there is no way for us to take it out, which sucks. People should use the plain Pager Message. As for the time delay, well, not sure, I can't speak for the operators on shift.

All I can say is hurry up CAD, Pleeeeeease hurry up !

As for those that get the sirens on CFSRES, that at this stage is only done for Mt Lofty group, and was done after a lot of bashing from them. It has to be done at the FSI, the issue is, it goes off for EVERY call, and causes havoc with the bushfire hotline, as every resident in the area from Ironbank to Bridgewater thinks there is a fire coming for them, when you tell them its a fixed alarm at Stirling Woolworths they aren't happy !

What is the advantage to the siren sounding for all jobs ?? Is this for the benefit of the brigade, i.e. the possibility of a pager not activating, or is it for the community to alert them to an incident ?? I'm just curious as what the thought process was for the Lofty Group in having a siren sound for every job.

For info it is possible to setup the FSI to only activate the siren at certain times on certain days of the week, or between certain months if that was what you wanted. It is also possible to use other keywords to activate the siren (apart from URGMSG or CFSRES) so you may use a combination of CFSRES and GRASS FIRE and set some time limits if you only wanted it to activate for rural fires in summer. There is a fair bit of flexibility in the system once you start to dig down and play with it.

For info we don't have a siren at all at Morphett Vale, hasn't been an issue for us.

I'm just curious as what the thought process was for the Lofty Group in having a siren sound for every job.

don't believe everything (or should that be 'anything') you read on here.  Under what circumstances a siren sounds is decided between the brigade and their local community (as per the CFS siren policy), sirens are not sounded for every job at every brigade in Mt Lofty group.  Those brigades that do trigger on CFSRES are on a day/night timer.

Easiest way to get something done is to complain, but don't complain to the comms guys, complain to region or CFS HQ and get them to chase it up via DO Moir, THEN something will get done.

Done mate, Mr Bau and Mr Scarce were notified once it was noticed, my issue is that it will cause TIM to read out the wrong words / names, not mention it is confusing for the guys trying to read a pager at 3am.

Well we were told about six months ago that Moorak was off to be scrapped, since then it has been offered back to us as a spare but our group have refused to take it due to the rust in the cab.

For info Gumeracha 24 has returned to Morphett Vale for the moment, whilst our 24 has a pump issue fixed. Our guys ended up repairing the plumbing on the Gum truck ourselves to get it operational.
Title: Re: Interesting Fire and Emergency Related Paging
Post by: Zippy on January 19, 2009, 02:12:14 PM
something that probably hasnt been thought of is the assigning of new appliances as Regional spares, located at busy stations like Morphett vale.

Morphett Vale could have Region 1 Alpha 34....and one day Meadows 24 breaks down, and bam...theyve got a 34 within 2 hours!

Not so sure about that one Zippy, many brigades do not shower love and affection on any 'spare' truck like they do on their own - eg damage, swapping things that are better then they already have over! (or just removing them...).

Would take a keen eye and an active brigade to be in charge of the spare to keep on top of that and pull up the offenders, especially if trucks are passed between brigades/groups without being returned to their 'home' station.

Responding Port Lincoln MFS by themselves is just utter filtered...we all know what its like trying to confront a going incident all by ourselves for the first 5-15mins...utter filtered.

Absolute Minimums until FIRST SITREP by Fire service.
2 Brigades > Out of full-time paid staff area...for any Priority 1 job.
1 Group (4 brigades) + Nearest surrounding brigade's > Total Fire ban rural incidents.
1 Brigade  > assist other services, animal rescue and tree downs, etc you get the gist.

Not when SACAD comes out.  Now.



coming from just another filtered firefighter, which isnt jaff ;)

There is nothing stopping the OIC of the appliances turning out to request more resources BEFORE they arrive. If you're that worried that SAMFS haven't turned out what you want ASK THEM.

Stop whining, start ASKING and taking some responsibility for the jobs YOU turn out to.

I'm getting sick of people like you sitting here bagging the comms guys and girls because of the system that they have to work with.

Burnside Pumper HM400 PTO
Belair 34P HE500

Belair would have been at the station at time of call having just chased some dust between Belair and Eden Hills.

Eden Pumper would have probably been just as close as Burnside and Belair would head straight down Old Belair Road, onto Blythwood and then into Belair road with a run of about 3.5 kms. Would have probably beaten a red truck there...

Being able to tag your truck as available for immediate response is useless unless the CAD system tracks individual resources. As you know now, you could have all of your Brigades trucks out, and you will still get paged for another job in your area. Then if it tracks individual resources, that makes the assumption that if there is a truck tagged as 'available' then the Brigade can crew it - something which is certainly not the case in some areas these days.

Exactly, cheers mate.

6739264  - type of appliance doesnt come into it... just has to be a mutual aid brigade...

Come join me, I've been banging my head against a wall for some time now. Ofcourse the CFS don't build/order decent urban trucks, but they're better than the half arsed attempt, one size fits all, 34P. We'll get there eventually...maybe... when the kickbacks stop.

Bit bit critically of the trucks that CFS build. I can't see a problem to the way that the trucks are built the problems lays in the way what brigades want to do with the truck once it is in their shed. Both the rurals and rural urbans have problems but the world not perfect. I would like to see some more flexibility in the what Brigades can do with the truck once they have received it i.e able to put an extra shelf in here or there or move a container bracket so that it is not a catching point.

Change can only occur when people are prepared to work together not fly off the handle at each other and through right forums. I like to work from the perspective that there are no problems only solutions.

There is an intersection ( on brigades/ group response boundaries) in Verdun near Hahndorf, known locally as the Bermuda triangle.
It was given this name for the ability to consume upto six brigade responses to a simply car accident and still have room for more.
Any brigade from a selection of Stirling, Aldgate, Bridgewater, Hahndorf, Balhannah or Barker could be sent, any the standard was usually 3.

this block of units has been in the media several times in the last month with deliberate fires lit in empty units, stairwells etc. I'm guessing that Largs and the Port know the details well enough by now

FIRE crews are on red alert as a "large" fire burns in the Onkaparinga gorge south of Adelaide.

The fire started about 5pm and is heading towards Chapel Hill Rd.
Eight crews and three water bombers have been sent to tackle the fire and strike teams are being organised.

A message to a CFS crew at 5.17pm stated "all members be aware large fire at Gorge please be prepared".

The fire is burning up steep terrain and is "fairly inaccessible

Hah, and some people dont think the media are watching EVERYTHING...

Making 332 priority 1 at one station, then re-directing them back to their station as a COQ's priority 1? A bit too reliant on 332 i think- more COQ's need to be made, especially priority 1's.

Post by: mattb on January 27, 2009, 01:02:54 PM
I thought I heard something about a couple of alarm concentrators being down at some of the northern stations, hence the need to keep someone there to monitor the local alarm interface and alert Comm's to any activations.

I believe normally in that case one firefighter is re-called to sit in the station and monitor, until then the truck either goes offline so that the crew can stay there or, as may have happened in this case another truck is responded to take over baby sitting duties.

The priority one run for 202 from the city to station 42 the other night for COQ was a different story, only truck south of the city was 439 sitting at Christies I think. Then 202 got responded to the job and Eden Hills were responded COQ to the Hill.

All good fun.

Good work! Its about time the comms guys in Adelaide Fire tell all the scanner jockeys to shut the filtered up!!! I would think they would be quite sick of all of the second guessing of their (or people above them's) decisions.
CRD and Communications is their job, so let them do it, do you hear them bitching at you because you didn't use perfect search, or entry techniques, most probably not.
The only reason that 90% of the people on here can bitch about them is because half of the "story" is published on the internet. Remember, GRN paging is only a very small section of communications used.

Baj, I have an excellent idea of Ops control,. Its a simple concept really, SCC is there to provide support, coordination, CONTROL of assets and decision making prowess when the scheiße hits the fan. If going to Red during the day is good enough for full or partial activation....why does that need cease when it gets dark - especially tonight if u see that u have lighning strikes everywhere north, you have one Group on active Standby, and fires on the East Coast.

All I am saying is.....if it's convenient to shut the door when the sun goes down rather than pay overtime, or recruit sufficient staff to run it 24/7 WHEN the parameters require it, then u have to question why u need it at anytime.

Interesting you admit to being from a different ESO, and u can't explain the specifics.....but u hammer me for having no idea or knowledge.

Zippy, interestingly, not long after the page I referenced, the SOSB  closed down also, along with the Bushfire Hotline. Lets hope the recorded message has a list of things that might help overnight. Perhaps we could make that solar powered and save some more money.

Hydration isn't necessarily common sense. You as a firefighter are taught the value of hydration, pre hydration, etc, yet many other people still just drink when they are thirsty.

Common sense is different to different people if it was that simple I would be unemployed. Also its a part of an employers duty of care.
Knowing Pieter personally - he's only doing his job as the senior on duty manager.
You guys use alerts to highlight stuff you already know?
Industry (mining for example) use "Red Alerts" to remind workers even though it's already covered in induction.
Since its not your pager going off, whats the prob?

Interesting that SES were consistently paged out to Task xx and not Inc xx during the early hours of this morning, was this just an individual operator thing?
How many jobs do SES let stack before they default to another agency and will the new agreement "closest most appropriate" allow this to continue?
Not sure if many of you guys remember February 1983 - I do (first time I faced death - caused by a backburn your CFA friends started without checking we were all clear).
This is all starting to look very familiar! (filtered I hope I'm wrong!!!).
As the current situation represents an extreme fire risk, as an emergency manager wouldn't you want to try & rest your primary wildfire strike force? I would. Considering that most of the jobs are not P1 or really life threatening.
I know that it feels really good to be the centre of attention all of the time, but sometimes you just have to take a back seat for the greater good! :evil:
I have a horrible feeling thst your turns coming in a big way - just hope you are ready!
Stay cool, be cool & have a quiet day! :-D

The database used at SES SCC is setup based on taskings. That is the terminology used for many years.

It is a seperate system from BOMS or CFS databases while we await the integrated SACAD system. Thus it is not being upgraded.

The tasking load is handled by the OIC within the Unit & Region. Extra SES resources (this includes some CFS brigades) were deployed during the weekend to specific areas & SES recce's were done.

What we has call takers, and the priority automatically allocated, is sometimes not the actual priority given by the OIC after recce. Dont believe everything you see on pager messages.

Not every tree down job needs a resource within 10 minutes. In quite a few taskings the crews were awaiting electrical line clearance anyway.

Post by: Katrina on February 03, 2009, 07:47:56 PM
Sometimes the station open note on the pager refers to the group store being open for getting "stuff" from whoever is in charge of handing it out. Not so much a case of actually getting into the station (I have not idea if that is the case with Salisbury but I know that is how it is with some of the other groups)

That is the problem, most people who steal stuff don't often
own up to it when asked. Apart from installing expensive cameras etc. It is easier to regulate who comes and goes.

It's how it works in most business prems now days, why should CFS be any different?

Yes it sucks and the bad ones spoil it for everyone but that's life.

Title: Re: Interesting Fire and Emergency Related Paging
Post by: chook on February 04, 2009, 10:55:29 AM
One of my old units had that problem - open access, stuff going "missing".
Some managers were bought in from other units to run things for awhile, one of the first things they did was photograph everything & told everyone that the first time something disappears they would call the police in as a first step.
Funny the stealing stopped! And gear suddenly re-appeared. Then when I took over, got rid of the people who weren't quite up to speed/ or unsuitable for our type of work - never had a problem since! Not sure if the the two are connected, or just an amazing coincidence :wink:
Swipe cards are a good idea - but very expensive to set up initially.
Anyway good luck with it, it's a pity that some low lifes stuff everything up for the decent silent majority.

NOPE, dont have the database & I would not be allowed to share the specifics. I know some CFS Brigades were paged to taskings because I processed the request to MFS ComCen for the CFS Pagers to be activated when I was in the dispatch area. I was not in the SES SCC the whole weekend so could not/would not provide any statistics.

No Robert, it isn't a result of the Victorian fires. Our council Fire Prevention Officer has organised with the CFS Community Education team to run these Bushfire Information Meetings in larger towns, as well as the bushfire prone seaside towns. Just to educate the citizens more about bushfires and how to use a Bushfire Action Plan.
They are a good idea I think and a lot can be learnt from them.  :wink:

I hope this was done 'tongue-in-cheek' otherwise I think it's a bit insulting and could of been said/done in a much more positive way such as reminding everyone in the brigade or on the truck the principle of looking out for one another and ensuring all required tasks are done. 

Obviously I do not know the individual situation as to what happened when they got back to the station and whether the VOLUNTEER driver had to rush away etc....?????
or whether this is aimed an one individual that has done it on many occasions, might just be a case of the written word not carrying the whole story!

The BoM site has a forecast of a windy change, with a gale warning issued for some coasts. I would guess that if it crosses the coast, it will be a severe weather event. With the amount of dry trees in stress, I would guess some damage could occur.
Title: Re: Interesting Fire and Emergency Related Paging

Mac - I KNOW!!! The change is coming over from the south west passing over SA before reaching us therefore I would be pretty safe to assume that what I said could infact be relevant to you guys!

Title: Re: Interesting Fire and Emergency Related Paging
Post by: chook on March 02, 2009, 04:19:31 PM
Considering the information below I'm a touch perplex (but not surprised) that SA isn't forecasting something a bit more significant:-
Peak wind gusts of 90 to 100 km/h are expected over the Lower Western, Riverina and western parts of the Upper Western district during Tuesday, especially near the front. Towns in the affected area include Broken Hill, Wentworth, Ivanhoe, Balranald, Deniliquin, Hay, Griffith, Narrandera, Wilcannia and Tibooburra.
The very windy conditions will produce extensive areas of raised dust and will result in very high to extreme fire danger conditions.
Over Alpine areas of the Southwest Slopes, Southern Tablelands and ACT, winds will strengthen to average 60 to 70 km/h by late Tuesday with gusts to around 110 km/h about the peaks.
As it will most likely miss Adelaide but hit areas of East Region - I would have thought similar warnings should apply to the Mallee, Riverland & south east- oh well, from past experience I'm not surprised after all if it doesn't impact Adelaide it don't count :evil:
I'm also surprised SES teams are possibly being assembled for Victoria, for the same reason I didn't think it was a good idea to send multitudes of CFS teams on the weekend of Black Saturday - there is still a significant risk at home. Who was it who said "look after your own backyard first". Victoria is a good example of don't put all of your eggs in one basket :wink:
On that note I'm off to have several beers & pray to the gods of safe air travel :-D

I saw where MT was coming from - and realised it was all stiring in good fun! Just out of interest - several Orange peril units have done BFF1 for exactly the reasons stated, they work on the fire ground.
It was a pity while in SA it wasn't offered to us (my unit), since we were stepping off our boats onto the fireground & actually fighting fires (the GO at the time didn't think we needed it).
So great idea I reckon (considering the fire risk that area of the state seems to face every summer)& Mac I've never come across a firefighting type person who I would say hated us - they just wanted to take our toys away :wink:

Im not sure what ur aware of in your world Hazmat206, but pretty much ..that adheres to the "non-Metro" Response to RCR's.   

for CFS its:   2 Brigades, 1 appliance each. 1 Being Rescue, 1 being Fire.

I thought in the world of MFS...Vehicle Accidents are 1 Fire appliance only, and RCR's are 2 (1 being a rescue).


Similar Graded Elevation of vehicle accidents is done in CFA/MFB.

 - 1. Washaway
 - 2. Road Rescue
 - 3. MVA Fire

I have heard over Vicfire radio, a brigade call for a pager activiation for a manual turnout to a vehicle accident.  Vicfire asked them specifically:  "Is it a Washaway, Rescue or Fire"   "Washaway, only require local brigade pager activation".

As has been said, look at the bigger picture.   

Obviously the pager doesn't tell you everything... however, from the page, it does tell you that the crash has been reported as an RCR - so either an entrapment, or no information available as to if an entrapment exists.

The crash may have been reported as a two car crash.... if there are two cars, both with a possible entrapment, then TWO rescue appliances are required.... and since Gawler have only one truck, it would appear the next closest rescue was also dispatched.

If my summation was correct, then it is quite logical to send two rescues !!!

Post by: big bronto on March 27, 2009, 09:43:47 AM
Pip is right look at the big picture...Who said that all other MFS appliances were not tied up at other calls. If 339 is the next closest pump then it will back up 359, it is just a bonus them both being pump rescue appliances. You will find as more MFS stations get rescue there will be pump rescues responding with each other, one for the rescue and one for fire cover.

Probably had something to do with a rather nasty accident, involving a report of 5 casualties. (Well, all initial reports from the scene were up to 5 cas.)

Zip, think you will find they would have had one Ambulance Officer/Paramedic but needed someone to be able to drive them back while they worked on the Pt in the rear. ~ Or possibly so both could be in the back, this has happend on a number of occasions before, but I would be leaning towards the first idea.
Title: Re: Interesting Fire and Emergency Related Paging
Post by: mattb on April 11, 2009, 10:24:50 AM
I think they were desperate for a third crew out of Ceduna, might have only had one more person available so wanted a CFS member to act as a second (driver).

Nothing wrong with this at all, we did a training session about six months ago with SAAS where we shown all the bits n pieces we needed to know should we have to drive a Merc. In fact when I first started in the CFS I know our guys drove an Ambo at a few jobs, I certainly know MFS have done it in the last 12 months.

I am sure the person in the back of the ambulance wouldn't care what colour the driver wore, just so long as they got to the hospital as quickly as possible.

I was led to believe that we are all there for the good of the community, and to support each other no matter what service we are in!!!

I've used other services as drivers a couple of times....one CFS and one (shudder) SES. At least he knew how to drive Pri 1 (seeing as they do it all the time...lol), my only issue was trying to stop him at every tree on the way to check if it was in danger of falling  :evil:

i've used the odd firebod to drive to hosp before and went quite well...until the first intersection when the brakes got slammed on - and the ABS was shown to work rather efficiently.  Not to mention the IV needle that ended up in the front of the car somewhere.....

But seriously - it is apprciated when you need it.  I've also had other experiences with coppers and other firies who've done a better job than some para's i've worked with!

Yep had OJT on the sprinters, & we have had several guys driving the green buses at several incidents. At one job all three buses were driven by "orange people" - no big deal. As was said things are different outside of metro areas.

They are currently testing the Turnout Information Management (TIM) system.

They use the response page to activate the TIM and open the doors and lights etc, also opens the station PA which then sends the acknowledge page back via a spare slot in the station fire alarm system to Comm's so they know the initial page was received.

All new stations are using the TIM system and I believe there is talk of a few others going to it as well due to the lack of spare bits n pieces for the current VHF turnout system.

Those that like listening to the VHF turnout channel on 164.0375mhz will eventually be without it.

Its not the burning off paddocks that is the problem before a fire ban day because they are burnt and done within an hour. Its whats known as "chaff cart heaps" that can smoulder for days. from reports thats how the fire started at cummins. And there have been others get away from these burning heaps.

Emergency Management Plan?

Or shall we go by your thinking and keep the Fire (and other) Emergency Services in the dark, till the day it may become a major problem, then just expect everyone to jump into action and know what to do.. ?

Oh course you can't do a google search of the internet & find a copy of the Plan that was updated in 2007 !! Try http://www.pandemicinfluenza.sa.gov.au/ and the bottom right-hand corner links. The National plan was even tested in 2008  :wink:

The Operational Plan lists that State Emergency Centre (SEC) would be activated by Dept of Health to co-ordinate a state-wide response and SES could assist with Transport

It is good to see the screening organised quickly at the airports. Hmmmmm, maybe that was pre-planned tooo....      :-D :-o

Even my workplace (international IT firm) has activated monitoring for 'business continuity' issues for clients. This includes any sick employee worldwide.

And two years ago - all Unit managers (& I would assume all Groups) were asked how many people could they provide to assist in a pandemic (for transport, assist with pre hospital triage, body disposal etc).
Not sure of the final count - one could guess though!
And yep we do BCP as well - which includes pandemics, including ramping up production of certain types of food that are safe & required during a disease outbreak. The plan started to be put in place with all overseas travel banned unless approved by the CEO.

as for demographic Vs personal attack?   - my apologies cameron for wanting to belittle people into bettering themselves, even if it is in the form of proper grammar and context.

I do understand that not everyone can have the same level of country SA public school education that I did....those metro eastern suburbs members of this forum pay a lot more for their schooling...and still use çontexts such as "you's guys" or "should of" or "could of". 

still I shouldn't be so harsh - not every professional volunteer could be expected to be able to read or write should they?! :evil: :evil: :evil:

Yes well with an initial page of "possibly drunk" trivialises the response message and it would certainly change the mindset of responding crews, very poor on behalf of AF.  Whilst the call receiver might think that, they certainly have no proof, and are foolish to sow the seed in the mind of the initial responding crew.  Hence what the actual job was.

Not to take a shot at anyone, as of course we don't know the circumstances behind the call...

But don't you love the way we get 1000 appliances to Alarms and nothing Rubbish fires, but some poor drunk bloke finds his house alight and he gets a half arsed single appliance/brigade response.

Some groups need to get their act together and insist on a minimum 2 brigade response to all domestic related incidents, this is becoming all to common an occurrence sending a single brigade to a domestic, and then its turned pear shaped.

I know of one job where the brigade that turned out, only had the driver of the appliance roll up to the call and responded, AND put the fire out :-o

Pretty poor when it says "domestic" on the page, and you get one person or appliance roll up :evil:

I heard that Kempy was on the front page of the local rag giving MFS a serve again...then again he has a point with the lack of rescue truck on pagers lately, but the delays in responses have nothing to do with the MFS.

these sort of things are reported constantly (certainly within CFS to Adelaide Fire), closest most appropriate 'resource' not being responded.  Yet it is apparent nothing will be done until inevitably there is a fatality and the coroner investigates, at which point the service chiefs will be forced to pull their fingers out and act (and will hopefully be held accountable for not acting sooner).

There should be a fire truck  on this as well, but depends, is Broadbent rd a main road or not, the rules provided by SES are that its a P1 with a fire truck if its blocking a main rd, anything else is SES on their own, and from experience Mt Barker SES default 9 out of 10 calls. I don't agree with it, but have to work to the rules provided.

Just make Tree Downs a Police Co-ordinated Job..and Fire/SES as Combatants...

too much time wasting and crap all the time with how its being run at present...

Ashton/Basket Range/Cherryville is just another one of those spots where its sooo pointless to respond ses to a tree down...when Fire already has the equipment and the know how.

It was interesting listening to this job, the first SAAS supervisor arrived on scene fairly quickly, his initial sitrep included the fact that there were 4 patients and 3 trapped in two seperate vehicles. He asked SAAS Comm's to notify firies that two Rescue trucks were needed due to entrapments in two cars.

It seems that this was never actioned somewhere along the line though, as it wasn't until the Kyeema DGO contacted Adelaide Fire on 124 to request the second rescue truck that anyone else was responded. Sloppy work by someone somewhere.

The ACTL was James Gardiner(Belair CFS)on scene,and there were also 2 rescue helicopters dispatched to this job.Kyeema GO requested 439 twice to Adelaide Fire and was informed they were on another call(with Morphett Vale.Adelaide Fire suggested they could respond 409, but asked Kyeema GO who would be the next closest CFS rescue, and Mt Compass was nominated. It was'nt until the second time that 439 was asked for was responded after Adelaide Fire responded Mt Compass in the interim.

They supposedly used facebook to update their status that they were lost so a freind could call emergency services.  Nice to see that kids have their priorities straight.

I understand from turning them out in the past that the company who runs the helicopters store fuel with the CFS and they have a tandem trailer and tow it with the group car. It does have a shelf life, but I am sure they have a process in place to replace it.

There are several Brigades around that provide a 'fuel dump' for the helicopters.  Mostly Brigades who are on the fringe of where the choppers' fuel capacitiy limits.  My Brigade used to have a dump.

A LATE-NIGHT blaze which gutted an Elizabeth Grove house is being treated as suspicious by police.

Emergency services were called to the fire in Marnhull St just after 10pm last night.

Three firetrucks and more than 20 firefighters were called to extinguish the fire. Damage to the house was extensive but police said no one was inside at the time.

Gee, how many firies per appliance! :lol:

Since when were CFS vollies responsible to enforce the Environmental Protection Act, or any other Act other than our own ??

As I understand it, we are only interested in schedule permits under our own Act,
and ensuring that permit holders comply with the Regs.  Outside of that, we'd
only be interested if the relevant authority or land-holder called us. Even then
we don't give a rat's whether it is legal or illegal.

Am I missing something important here ??

But if the council don't ask us / direct us to extinguish a fire, and it isn't fire danger season, and the fire is not in danger of getting away, what legal power do CFS members have to extinguish the fire ?

My point exactly.
Unless requested as a consequence of a Council or EPA order-to-extinguish, I
can't see any right, or even any obligation to extinguish. Let alone describe
it as an illegal burn.
Now it quite possible that the turn-out was due to council or EPA direction -
I'm not in CommCen so wouldn't know. But the wording of the pager message
doesn't suggest that.

G'day Straps
Should have added that the recruit is supposed to make themselves available to
do BFF1 during their probation. The brigade is supposed to get them on a BFF1
course during that time.

Purpose is two-fold:
To protect people who cannot cope with fire brigade experiences and demands
from themselves, and
to protect the brigade from trouble-makers & mis-fits.

make sense?

Methinks someone is playing word games. Or to put it more simply, "Bollocks".
Recruits have to be issued basic PPE to train with the brigade.
That basic PPE is quite adequate to do BFF1, even if second-hand.
It is writ in the induction paperwork (or used to be) that a recruit shall do
BFF1 during their probation.

The hard bit is finding a BFF1 course to put them on. For that, perhaps our
BTOs & GTO need to put their heads together a little more often.
Quite reasonable to withold flash new PPE  until a recruit has demonstrated
their commitment & been accepted by the brigade.

That's how we work it up the hill, anyway.

To true, we just have issues getting second hand gear down our end. And personally i object to members 'sharing' there PPE with recruits, or just having it taken.

Shane,

1909195 16:48:18 09-11-09 RCR CREW REQUIRED CHANGE OF QUARTERS TO HAMLEY BRIDGE STATION. PLEASE ATTEND STATION IF YOU ARE AVAILABLE NOW. CAPTAIN CFS Salisbury Info

Just curious, if a 24 is required for a fire some distance away would it not be better if Hamley is just overlooked and another brigade from slightly further out sent, instead of them responding and leaving their area uncovered for RCR, and a COQ needed.
Would seem the sensible route surely, or get them a 2nd 24?

as opposed to virginia, 329 & 339 covering salisbury's area?

Al has a decent point, nice to try to strategically over look certain brigadesm but at the same time, the CFS should be doing more backfilling of stations, and sending the closest resources to the fire.

Title: Re: Interesting Fire and Emergency Related Paging
Post by: Darren on November 09, 2009, 09:56:40 PM
The thing is, you can take away Dalkeith and Salisbury as they are both  in area's that already have rescue coverage. In the case the Hamley Bridge crew are fairly close, so to speak, to the fire, taking either Salisbury or Dalkeith out the system isn't going to affect anything, which kind of brings the point, why not just use those brigades to go to the fire. Having all their trucks out isn't really an issue, but I guess, where do you draw the line. It doesn't affect RCR or urban responses as MFS are going either way, but rural response it does affect.

I still want to know why we are sending 2 CFS brigades out to a car fire. As far as I can tell, the MFS changed their response to these incidents a couple of years ago and now without any consultation those CFS brigades despatched by BOMS have somehow now also had their response changed.

I know our own brigade response plans, signed off by Region and Group only stipulate one brigade, but now every vehicle fire we respond to is automatically two brigades.

CFS COSO's (2008) state: 1 x App – min Second app. required if no CABA on first

Might be worth speaking with region again Matt then forwarding that info on again? Theres plenty of brigades with BOMS response data that get to go play with themselves [so to speak].

A car fire is a two appliance responce, this changed a few years ago because of a couple of cars that were on LPG that went bang.

Thanks mate, there is about to be some significant changes to our response data in BOMS so I will use that as an opportunity to investigate it.

Can you find an SOP to verify that, according to the 2008 CFS COSO's and SOP's it is a single appliance response unless the first appliance is not carrying B.A.

MFS have a different policy.
Title: Re: Interesting Fire and Emergency Related Paging
Post by: Zippy on December 11, 2009, 11:08:57 AM
Yeah matt's right,

1 x App – min.  Second app. required if no CABA on first

BUT...when can we ever guarantee BA operators on the first appliance.


Lack of BA operators trained, equals automatic 2nd alarm Vehicle fire upon 000.... (2nd Alarm Vehicle Fire being a cumulative response of 3 appliances)

Looks like the NRG guys, for some reason, are on the paging list to recieve the dispatch messages for the Bombers...like many other Groupies & Captains around the place....

The Bombers were at WAB - Woodside Airbase, so not far away......

not just that, the NRG guys also get SIG INC pages too (not all the time but often). It was advised to HQ this was occuring a long time ago but nothing has been done about it, I guess if the NRG guys aren't complaining who cares.

And the subsequent manual turnout...

15:04:01 05-01-10 STBN: *CFSRES: RESPOND STRATHALBYN STATION MANUAL TURNOUT 05-01-10 15:03

That was quite a nice little conversation on the radio. Frankly,the Woodchester Lt. should probably shut up and log his grievances later.

And the subsequent:

1909035 15:13:14 05-01-10 STBN: STOP CALL RECEIVED 05-01-10 15:12 CFS Strathalbyn Response

Not having heard it, I could understand something being said. Sounds like things mave have gone a little to far?? Certainly should be followed up after the incident in any case.
Why was the manual turnout message generated though? Even if it was just to get crew to the station, its boarderline to self responding...

I did not hear the conversation but in a hypothetical situation that ends in the coroners court , if the question is asked of an individual - "Did you believe that there were closer, more appropriate units available?" and the answer is given - "yes" the subsequent question would surely be " What did you do to improve the situation?" . What would the coroner consider the best answer - " I decided to shut up and log my grievance later" or "I made sure the Incident controller was aware of the options I knew about" ?

Yeah last time I checked its not that far from littlehampton to wistow, same with Nairne, around the back way they are fairly quick. After that response no further resources were needed.

Yeah, that Lt from Woodchester sure did his block, but I am sure the IC has his reasons for following response plans........

As you said you didn't hear the conversation, but:

There is a LARGE difference between making your concerns known to the IC, and blowing up on the radio and pretty much demanding that your group be responded. Then having Strath manual turnout.

Especially when fact happens to prove that you are wrong in your assumptions of who is closer...

Big oops apparently TTG CFS could not get there rescue appliance down to the location (remember Tuesday's heavy rain in the area) so SES had to secure Hermitage 34 in place with ropes till an excavator could assist with the recovery the next day.

There was nothing the driver could have done to avoid the situation. Was a good job of it though. Lucky they all got out ok.

Yeah it was secured overnight and recovered the following day. SES commander didnt come on scene. The only issues were of the appliance further shifting and no close anchor points to secure.

TTG CFS page was for their safety officer (OIC) who wanted to oversee what was happening.

Just the pure amount of people in one location increases the fire risk. i beleive huge amounts of planning went in to today re having appliances on standby at strategic locations!

Media put this out this morning:


"South Australia?s fire and emergency services personnel will be at a heightened level of response today, Friday 22 January 2010, with Extreme fire danger ratings forecast for the Mount Lofty Ranges, Eastern Eyre Peninsula, Flinders and Yorke Peninsula as well as Catastrophic fire danger ratings forecast for the Murraylands, Mid North and Riverland.

Some of these fire danger ratings will impact parts of the Santos Tour Down Under and the Mutual Community Challenge cycling event. This means an increase risk to the community with cyclists travelling through the Murraylands as well as the Mount Lofty Ranges, from Cudlee Creek through Lenswood, Woodside, Mount Barker, Strathalbyn, Langhorne Creek and Milang, ending up at Goolwa.

Due to the forecast fire danger rating of Extreme for the Mount Lofty Ranges, the CFS has pre-planned fire stations along the route as well as pre-positioned resources, including aircraft, at strategic locations to provide immediate fire coverage. The additional resources are in anticipation of the large crowds expected in the area ? likely to be in excess of 25,000 people.

If you are planning to head to the race as a spectator, or are a resident of one of these areas, please take the following precautions:
- Take extreme care on the roads as there will be traffic congestion and road blocks
- Familiarise yourself with road closures in the area
- Residents in areas of Total Fire Bans should activate your Bushfire Survival Plan.

It is also important to remember that on days of total fire ban:
- The lighting of barbecues is not permitted
- Vehicles should be parked away from high-grass areas, as exhaust pipes can start a fire
- Care should be taken to properly extinguish and dispose of all smoking materials.

Please consider your movement and actions as a spectator or a rider. Ultimately if you do not feel comfortable to enter the area or are concerned about your safety, it may be best not to attend, and to instead watch the Tour from your television at home, or from a safer place.

Stay tuned to ABC or FIVEaa radio for updates on any going incidents. For further information on incidents or bushfire safety, visit the CFS website www.cfs.sa.gov.au or call the Bushfire Information Hotline on 1300 362 361. As always, in the event of an emergency call Triple Zero.

Please enjoy the day, but most importantly, remain safe."

And do what? Turn out an incorrect response then get out asses kicked/criticised for not responding the local brigade? Until the day comes when we all have MCTs so statuses can be monitored, it will always be a response as per the book in the first place unless directed otherwise by locals on ALERTS.

Why would they be heading to the strath showgrounds i wonder?

Aircraft deployment has always been dynamic based on FDIs. Its not as common for them to wander out of the MLRPRZ [strath beign just outside], although they do go to hoyleton regularly. But if the FDIs are higher in the north area of the zone aircraft are normally moved to mt crawford, FDIs high south area of the zone, aircraft moved to cherry gdns.

Like I have said before, Onkaparinga SES only exist in name, they did it for the extra gear that CFS won't provide them.

They don't respond like the SES, they define SES areas just like we define brigade areas. The only time they go anywhere else is if they need the gear from Lobethal, who turn out as the CFS anyway !!  :-D

The Eden Valley captain actually came up on air just after the page went to the SES and advised that the tree down was only a couple of hundred metre's from the CFS station and that it would be quicker for Eden Valley to be responded than the SES to come 30-40 km's. Smarter/better use of resources I think........

Police said the incident happened on a level crossing on Bagsters Rd at Salisbury North about 11.15pm and that no on had been hurt. They said the train had dragged the vehicle about 800m from the point of impact.

in regards to the green uniform for saas, stations that have been cleaned can not be entered by personal from "dirty" stations, all clean saas building should have a green papper strip on all points of entry to the station.

 the new green uniform should be on the streets in the next few months. my partner has received his and it looks good I'm just waiting on mine.
 
 recently a riverland crew had to spend several weeks in a MFS station cause theirs was condemned after it flooded a few times.

I think what you are seeing is the new (informal) arrangement between Sturt, Lofty, Mawson (maybe) and Heyson (maybe) to rapidly turn out what they need and then worry about the formalities later.

Their base responds to the page on TG124 and then runs the incident including extra resources, its just a different way of operating......has fors and againsts, but it works for them, and I've always found them pretty on the ball to work with, or respond into their area.....so if its not broke, dont worry about it

Worry about formalities later, what a royal commission,isn't the whole point of one CRD centre to eliminate people doing their own things, by turning out their own resources then no one knows what resources have been deployed or the status of brigade resources because it has not been dispatched and noted on the system? Imagine one day if there was multiple jobs on and they said let's respond stirling to another grass fire, oh sorry sturt group sent them out a while back, should Adelaide fire be made to ring the sturt base every time they turn a job out to make sure they haven;t already got it at something else?

yes Bronto you're right....and u can then sit and wait for Region to approve more resources or wave the last copy of the Old Testament to the East, or whatever the hell else they do.....of course, Adelaide Fire will know whats going on cos they check in on 124, and monitor other TGs, but hey, dont let the facts get in the way of an emotive argument will you

Didnt say it was perfect, said it worked for them......from what I saw on TV tonight, looked like a fair save given the ground and the size of the job (and that a few Brigades had been dragged down the hill partially to another earlier fire.

?

Sorry, but Adelaide Fire wont know whats going on when we have resources booking mobile that as far as we are aware havent been responded. And re local TGs, Adelaide Fire dont monitor them.

Personal opinion, all brigade responses should be through Adelaide Fire for consistency and for the log [as BOMS pushes the records into AIRS of turnout times/resources/etc] and also so that comcen actually knows what is happening with statewide resources.

Considering their 'real-life' occupations, it's also possible that the Sturt
GOs are intimately familiar with the pros & cons of MFS dispatch systems & have
(and/or had) good reasons for doing it <ahem> 'differently'.

just following on from the Sturt Group job in Upper Sturt the other night, saw an interesting media grab from one of the firefighters at the scene, who is also a Staff member in town. Very foolish comments, and hardly a professional image. I didnt think random firefighters were supposed to speak to the media?

Can't imagine the Chief or any of the deputies would be too happy with him.....

Exactly the same as the guys out in scanner jockey land, nothing like that should be taken as gospel. Besides, PDWs arent reliable for that sort of thing.

As i said before should be centralised. If your just gonna hit a button on the decoder that responds your neighbour with a pre-canned msg, then all good. But i think if your going to send a 'customised' response msg for that job, then it might as well be from the right people.

They dont have a process.   Its up to the individual group/brigade to "knock back/default"  incidents as they come up.  Meaning...incidents will continue to be thrown at brigades till they say something like "no".

Post by: Alex on February 20, 2010, 10:01:28 PM
Alan, brigades & trucks are never put 'on jobs' as such. If we get a call we send it out to the brigade whos area it is, regardless of whether they are already on a job, its then there responsibility to organise attendance.

We can however take brigades out of the system, eg if a single appliance station is getting the truck serviced...

So in other words, resources aren't really being "tracked" on turn-outs.
Not actively, anyway.  The info isn't being used in Wakefield St to amend
responses to subsequent turn-outs.

Each Group/Brigade must do its own real-world resource tracking.

Therefore the only "benefit" of reporting in to Ad-Fire appliance-by-appliance
is a tape recording of the response message, versus the time-stamped call
record in the GRN for all other transmissions.

Therefore Sturt's process of the Group Duty Officer taking ownership of the
call and managing it from 1st page, is merely actively working ahead of an
otherwise passive system, designed for brigades which don't have active Group
support & participation.

Therefore it doesn't matter a tinker's cuss whether a group base responds
its own resources or goes through Adelaide Fire.  Nobody outside the group
(or brigade) officially knows or even cares about the resources (ex-CFS Ad-Fire
people excepted!!).

Thanks & cheers.

Not quite... I probly didn't word my previous post properly. Resources are 'tracked' as far as ensuring they ack/mobile either on radio or phone and this time is kept.

However it does not influence further responses for the same zones.

While Adelaide Fire may or may not track resources, and I'll leave that comment up to people like Alex who work there, If units book mobile via Adelaide fire at least those managing incidents can see on CRIIMSON what is acknowledged and mobile rather than guessing what has responded. With more and more groups being trained in CRIIMSON it would be good for everyone to use the same system so we can all see what's going on and if things escalate we have good information to work with rather than guess work.

In all seriousness, is there actually any need to test it weekly?

Well if its anything like our siren it needs testing every week as it seizes up with lack of use, mainly due to only being used for grass fires these days.

tires are a little bald i believe (amongst other things) and a new appliance on the way off the new build so i guess not worth putting new ones on.
This is very sad.
What price do you place on a volunteer let alone Joe blow public?
Just because you know you are in line for a new appliance, doesn't mean you let the maintenance lapse.
A big kick in the backside to the Region, Group and Brigade involved.

So much for annual servicing :?.
Maybe CFS need to employ Transport SA to inspect CFS appliances bi-annually to keep all involved honest.

A MAN has surrendered to police and been taken to hospital after reports of a siege and fire at a West Beach unit.

Reports of fire at the Burbridge Rd property appear to be unfounded.

The question is why are TTG being responded to this when it's clearly well into MFS area (Just over a kilometre from Oakden station). I have also noticed in recent weeks them being responded to Holden Hill.
Surely BOMS isnt that much up the filtered to be suggesting a CFS response to these areas?

It has been fixed.

Darren,

What do you mean it has been fixed?

TTG has been getting a lot of calls well into MFS area as apparently they are the closest Rescue appliance available 329 and 339 must be busy else where?

Considered not bothering to reply at all for this one for a while, lmao...

I personally don't think any service should end up 'offline' for a period of time, but consider the fact that OHS regs do dictate that we have a 10hr rest period after 10-12hrs operations... [im not sure the specifics, but im 99% sure it exists]

If the entire units available personell were involved, they may very well be technically unable to respond. Anyway, SAAS are doing it every other day with some voll. stations.
Title: Re: Interesting Fire and Emergency Related Paging
Post by: Andrew K on July 11, 2010, 09:30:42 PM
basically due to ohsw 10hr break after 12hrs of ops (possibly having come from work so add another 8 hrs)  sturt ran out of people that were able to crew trucks, when you have 3 trucks running with 4 - 5 on a truck plus ops crew you tend to use people pretty quick and even with them stood down their is still coverage from neighbouring units


numbers do you have an issue with ses all the time? if you are dumb enough to call resting crews soft even in jest after they've been out for 12 - 14 hrs and to work fatigued when you can be working at heights, cutting up trees with a chainsaw which will easily take your arm off if you aren't paying attention, drving a 12t truck possibly under evs standards, cutting someone from a car truck then you need your heads checked before you kill someone else

there needs to be a point where someone says stop they don't let mfs do it as far as i'm aware, they change crews on shifts. and bring cfs in to cover stations when needed, here they did the same thing stand sturt down and shift coverage to other units. if not where does the blame lie when we kill someone may even be your own crew might not be delibrate may not have happened if you had slept a bit in the last 24hrs i'd say the volunteer and his boss are in for an almightly donkey kicking and they have to live with killing your own crew for the rest of their lives.

it isn't worth it we don't get paid enough to take those risks

Andrew, well done to the SES crews and those CFS crews who all did a great job. OHSW has taken over how long we can put members out into the field and we all have to take note of this and monitor what our crews are doing and the hours. Crew rotation and also standing down crews is a must  CFS does this to its members who go on strike team's and interstate so its nothing new I guess that some groups or brigades dont follow this policy.

The other thing to note is at last SES called in for help from other agency's which was great to see and they did default a large amount of calls back to CFS/MFS due to SES workload.

Safework SA have released a Code of Practice that relates to Fatigue Management / Working Hours, formally in May 2020. http://www.safework.sa.gov.au/uploaded_files/ACOPonWorkingHours.pdf (http://www.safework.sa.gov.au/uploaded_files/ACOPonWorkingHours.pdf)

Their website states that there has been a specific document developed that addresses the needs of emergency service volunteers
Quote
The particular considerations of employees and volunteers who provide frontline emergency services have been addressed in the development of specific emergency services guidelines.  Please contact SAFECOM for further details.

The following link will take you to the Safework SA webpage that deals with the COP - Working Hours... http://www.safework.sa.gov.au/show_page.jsp?id=8489 (http://www.safework.sa.gov.au/show_page.jsp?id=8489)

Like it or not, I suspect that agencies will need to seriously consider fatigue management and show some robust strategies to effectively manage the OHS&W requirements of their staff (paid and/or volunteers) with regards to their working hours.

To a large degree the volunteer MUST also take some responsibility for their own welfare too.

Just some info for the forum to digest.

Cheers
Shane
PS - reckon this might in fact migrate into a new thread - sorry mods...

Why wouldn't you manage your people ? If you know your busy wouldn't you be better off sending some home for a rest then bringing them back to swap over, clearly if your getting paged for job 750 something yet you haven't dealt with job 40 wouldn't that suggest to you that no matter if you had 2 or or 4 trucks out you aren't going to get through it.

OR if you can't manage, how about asking for some strike teams or co-ordinate something, not wait until 1800 and go offline and handball your jobs without telling the agency helping you.... :x

I don't think anyone is saying the don't want to help the SES. But get some sort of IMT happening and manage the jobs.

From my understanding (not absolutely sure), they were doing local IMT with a CFS liason officer & being co-ordinated with RDO/SDO. Several Units were doing this.

I think people are reading toooo much AGAIN into a information pager message without full knowledge of the background/history/decisions made.

For example (again not facual in this instance), if you keep paging incidents to a crew that is on the road, you disturb the resting crew from the same Unit. The rest crew ends up switching pagers off & you have lost a method of communication.

If you crew rest rotate between Units, by two Units working together (one Unit rests while the other Unit works by covering both areas, then swaps) then in theory the Unit pagers do not activate. It also enables maintenance of chainsaws, ropes, equipment, vehicle checks, etc to be completed on the resting Unit vehicles during a multi-tasking incident.

Sounds a damn good idea to me.

CFS do strike teams, SES allocates extra vehicles/crew/equipment to the impacted Unit as needed. Arranged via RDO normally by telephone.

basically due to ohsw 10hr break after 12hrs of ops (possibly having come from work so add another 8 hrs)  sturt ran out of people that were able to crew trucks, when you have 3 trucks running with 4 - 5 on a truck plus ops crew you tend to use people pretty quick and even with them stood down their is still coverage from neighbouring units


numbers do you have an issue with ses all the time? if you are dumb enough to call resting crews soft even in jest after they've been out for 12 - 14 hrs and to work fatigued when you can be working at heights, cutting up trees with a chainsaw which will easily take your arm off if you aren't paying attention, drving a 12t truck possibly under evs standards, cutting someone from a car truck then you need your heads checked before you kill someone else

there needs to be a point where someone says stop they don't let mfs do it as far as i'm aware, they change crews on shifts. and bring cfs in to cover stations when needed, here they did the same thing stand sturt down and shift coverage to other units. if not where does the blame lie when we kill someone may even be your own crew might not be delibrate may not have happened if you had slept a bit in the last 24hrs i'd say the volunteer and his boss are in for an almightly filtered kicking and they have to live with killing your own crew for the rest of their lives.

it isn't worth it we don't get paid enough to take those risks

I have a problem with any service, anytime, when that they are making poor decisions that have a detrimental effect on the public, and are not being held accountable for those decisions.

Thanks for the quick run down of what goes on at storm and tempest incidents and just how fatigue can effect those operations. How about you print that off and forward it to your CEO, via your UM and remind them that there are HUNDREDS of other resources that can be called in to assist, and everytime those other resources are not utilised your hierarchy are merely fatiguing SES crews that are already well behind the eightball mentally.

Where were the storm damage strike teams? Where were the country SES units rotated into metro? Why did things get so bad that an ENTIRE unit had to be stood down for rest? Has anyone in the SES got any idea of incident or fatigue management? Does the SES know the meaning of service delivery?

We are happy to send hundreds of volunteers and dozens upon dozens of trucks to fires in the summer that often have minimal dollar loss impact, yet we have thousands of people effected by a Storm and Tempest incident, causing millions of dollars in damage and the SES can't even turn out the local Fire Brigade to assist SES crews.

Storm and Tempest:

I'm pretty sure that 99.99% of Fire Trucks and Firies worth their stripes can achieve the above. Why are they not utilised to their fullest extent?

Get over yourself and ask for help.
Title: Re: Interesting Fire and Emergency Related Paging
Post by: chook on July 14, 2010, 07:27:15 AM
Yep would have to agree Numbers (the get over yourself comment was aimed at the service?) If there were that many taskings & there was additional resources available - why not use them? Here if we get more than a few (4-5) tasks at once, we ask our "rural" friends because they have chainsaw teams (& some of their people are also "our" people)but that is a local thing - we still leave the "townies" & VRA out most times just in case there is a "real" job. Having said that - it depends on what the tasks are & whether the firey people are trained in combating those tasks. From what I can gather firies were tasked anyway? However I still don't see the problem with standing a unit/brigade down anyway - maybe next time they just don't put the message over the pager system?  :-D Anyway have fun guys :wink:

Pretty much on the money. The Dennis still has some small things to be rectified before going on the run (mainly electrical) but overall it seems that they have tidied it up and fixed most of the issues that our Group wanted resolved before it came back.

If things go according to plan our 24P heads off to the Seaford brigade and is then replaced with a brand new 34P sometime soon.

It was also HQ's way of fulfilling our now upgraded SFEC prescription. Our appliance allocation now includes the requirement for an Urban Pumper for our brigade. The Dennis only came back to the Group after a long list of faults were rectified, as it turns out not everything has been fixed so it is not being accepted until they are.

Our 24 is due for replacement in the next year or two so we should have a new rural appliance soon. To be honest our 24 is still in pretty good condition and does a good job at rural fires, it would make a very good regional spare when it is taken out of service.

Title: Re: Interesting Fire and Emergency Related Paging
Post by: Pipster on August 03, 2010, 11:59:08 PM
I suppose when it comes to merging groups, obviously a whole heap of factors need to be looked at.

Obviously, geographical proximity is one - that one is fairly obvious.  There are some brigades around who are on the outer edge of a group area.  The population of that township tends to associate with the adjoining group - eg the kids go to school in the adjoining group area, townsfolk do their shopping in the adjoining group area, collect their mail from a post office in the adjoining group's area - so it makes sense to add this group to the adjoining one!!

However geographical area should not be the only criteria.

We could go down the track of all groups to have roughly equal numbers of brigades in them...but, you could end up with the same sized groups, but one does mega numbers of calls per year, the adjoining group hardly any, so one group has group officer holders getting flogged with work, the adjoining ones not doing a lot!!

So, do you then look at rearranging group boundaries based on workload - so that each group ends up with about the same workload...so some groups would have a handful of brigades, others very large, but roughly the same workload...?

These suggestions make it very simplistic, and obviously, changing / rearranging groups is not that simple.....especially when tribalism & politics gets involved!!

However, I do believe it is time we seriously looked at the issue, and made some changes to groups and group boundaries.... after all, the bulk of our group boundaries are still based on which council area you were in!!

I know from my own region that there is a move to merge a number of the smaller groups into one group but also look at the other groups within the region where brigades are closer to the other group than their own group but also look at volunteer numbers.

Large groups have their good and bad points its just a matter of someone or some groups taking the first step to get the ball rolling,There will also have to be long consultation with groups/brigades and also to work out the fine points. One issue will be group bases,WATTLE RANGE have two bases one at Millicent and the other at Penola both take it in turns a week on and a week off in doing comms .So lots will have to be worked out well before hand I did hear that it would take up to 2 years work before any group could or would merge so that the consultation process is done by the book....
Title: Re: Interesting Fire and Emergency Related Paging
Post by: Darren on August 04, 2010, 06:20:03 PM
If you consolidated enough groups you could almost give them a paid staff member to oversea them, much the same way the CFA work, they don't have dedicated GO's. All the one's I have seen have dual roles, so you might be such and such captain, but on big strike team type jobs you take a GO's role. I have been to several stations that have GO helmets on anything from FF's through to Captains hooks.

They said it works well, the paid staff member does the overall paperwork for the group, and because they are full time they have the time to do, equipment, trainig, report etc etc All the brigade officers do is firefighting and fire reports.

Worth a thought. Not to many people putting their hands up for group roles these days.

One would think that if the callsign meant nothing to you, you would stay out of it. Some people  :roll:

most of us arent radio special geeks, could have been an emerg button on a radio in an appliance for all many of us would have known......

shouldnt have opened station doors unless brigades have just used any old pager rather than a purpose one... message went to regional info, not individual brigade response adresses.

That pager message should have only gone to Group officers and staff and not every CFS pager...

Hence the subsequent message of "Thanks for all the phone calls, incorrect pager group selected, no further calls in required thanks".

I'm with Darren. If you don't know what the call signs mean, then the page probably wasn't meant for you.  Sometimes it's just best to do nothing.

They did change it again back to Code Red and Code Green but with a fair bit of pushing I understand it will go back to priority 1 and 2 which lines up with all the other services. Most of us use P1 and P2.

No idea how long the response time may be, but responded as thats the whole point of the ERVs existence. Plus providing extra equipment. 15000L of diesel slowly leaking from the vessel. More hands the merrier when trying to contain something like that.

Correct, a grain ship that was being assisted by Pilot vessels to dock, suffered engine failure and collided with a tuna boat Apollo S at the wharf.

At 280kms west of Adelaide it would have taken the Gallantry some time to get there!!

and only 2 vehicles between the tollgate and Mt Barker, so until they get there, someone has to do it. Agree that it didnt require a 3 appliance response, however. Politics should have stopped with 2 (1 MFS and 1 CFS), with a stop call on the CFS appliance as soon as 441 arrived.

As CFS Firey said..... I'm sure they can give up some Foxtel time to park the truck behind, not like they had to actually do anything

Will be interesting how fast the new channels will begin to be used now that the 80 channel UHF CB frequencies have been released. This comes into effect Jan 1.

Unsure if some of the older radios will cause interference on the new channels.

Sorry for the long post but for the information of others:

IMPORTANT INFORMATION CONCERNING UHF CB RADIO
Overview
The use of a UHF CB transceiver is governed by a class licence as prescribed by the Australian
Communications and Media Authority (ACMA). Currently, all UHF CB radios operate within an
allocated frequency band that is divided into 40 channels, with each channel spaced 25 kHz apart.
These radios are commonly known as ‘wide band’ radios.
Due to advances in technology it has now become economically viable to design and build radios
that operate in a narrower bandwidth and hence use less spectrum. These radios are known as
‘narrow band’ radios and operate with a channel spacing of just 12.5 kHz. By using 12.5 kHz
channel spacing instead of 25 kHz, the 40 channel allocation can be expanded to 80 channels,
doubling the channel capacity and relieving congestion in the UHF CB band.
The ACMA has recently released a proposal to allow the use of narrow band equipment in the
UHF CB band. To minimise interference to current wide band repeater and telemetry services,
the proposal recommends that narrow band radios be introduced in two stages over a 5 year
period.
Stage one proposes that from January 2011, narrow band radios will be allowed to operate using
60 of the 80 channels in the newly revised UHF CB band. However, narrow band transmissions
will not be allowed on current repeater channels 1 – 8, 31 – 38 and Telemetry channels 22 and
23. This will minimise interference to these wide band services during the transition to narrow
band technology.
Stage two will take effect after January 2016 when all 80 channels will become available for
narrow band transmissions.
What this means to the user;

- Current 40 channel wide band radiso will continue to work on the orginal channel frequencies and will operate effectively past 2016

- Current 40 channel UHF CB Radios will NOT become obsolete and will continue to operate on the original 40 channels, however they will not be able to converse on the newer channels 41-80.

If both Eliz, salisburys and Gawlers are on different calls in Elizabeth/SAlisbury area, who's looking after Gawler?

Dalkeith, Gawler River, Roseworthy, Concordia...

So if there was a house fire or something, you'd have to wait 10 or so minutes alone for cfs to get a crew and that is if they don't default...........











Yeh but if we were paid, we would be quicker....coz we would be sitting around all day doing FA, waiting for the bells to drop...sound familiar? :wink:

Not having a go at CFS response times,  just lack of resources for a MFS area

And its due to the lack of resources, that Gawler would just have to cope with how the rest of SA copes.. 

Its no different when you throw 6 alarms at a fire and CFS have to cover MFS area,  in this scenario, the risk is lack of training and awareness of the area.

Hahah. Obviously someone involved in the decision? I cant think of another name personally as i dont know the area that well mate, but i think everyone would agree that having groups with almost like names is not a great move when the whole idea of moving away from brigades and groups sharing names was to create less confusion.

Will be interesting how fast the new channels will begin to be used now that the 80 channel UHF CB frequencies have been released. This comes into effect Jan 1.

Unsure if some of the older radios will cause interference on the new channels.

Good Evening all

Interference from older radios shouldn't create to many problems given that UHF CB only uses 5 watts of power, that of course doesn't mean there wont be a problem if someone is transmitting from 20 meters away

The biggest problem will be audio quality between 80 channel radios and older 40 channel ones

However the full extent of the problem wont be evident until final radio specs are signed off on by the ACMA

The TV and radio aren't government owned resources. Then again it prob only cost $0.0000001 to send out, so was insignificant, and may have got some people up that way to slow down last night. You're forgiven Mr Coro :-)

Tft,

If you care about your mates, you'd want them to be driving safe all the time, not just when there's a speed camera around the place.

It shouldn't really be used for it, but always has in that area. Crews have never been told not to by officers or regions, etc etc. So im guessing they dont have any probs with it.

A System similar to SAAS's Cat A and Cat B Alerts over GRN could be trialed to use in similar scenarios today.

GRN 124: *emerg tones* Domestic Fire Aldgate, Crews from Aldgate and Bridgewater.

And appliance in earshot on the road, with a crew, with the right crew, within reason should be able to call up on air for the job and track priority 2 towards the location.

Have got a lot more of the story now.
2 trucks were working a flank down a hill towards a fire track they could see from the top.  What they couldn't see was the 1 metre vertical drop from the paddock onto the track.
They attempted to turn the trucks and drive across the slope to a point where access could be obtained, however the slope turned out to be greater than anticipated and the decision was made to abandon the trucks (and avoid a rollover) until extra help could be obtained.
That came in the form of a tractor this morning, so as they say in the fairy tails they all lived happily ever after, except the drivers who will cop a ribbing for a long time yet. :lol:

Because of the stupid setup with the current 34s we have to as often as possible to avoid overheating issues...
Title: Re: Interesting Fire and Emergency Related Paging
Post by: Shiner on December 01, 2010, 10:00:44 AM
Same here, we always have to check the radiators on our 2006 build 34 as they clog up and cause the truck to overheat.

Interestingly we've just been told we will be having a snorkel fitted as lots of brigades have issues with the air-cleaners blocking up but we have never experienced anything major with the air cleaner.

Title: Re: Interesting Fire and Emergency Related Paging
Post by: Shiner on December 01, 2010, 12:16:01 PM
Let me clarify - our issue has always been with the radiators.

However, several R1 trucks of same build have reported having major air cleaner issues (to the point where they have had to stop and clean filter out during an incident) therefore I&L have had Tremmel Tooling design a retro-fit snorkel that is to be installed on all trucks of that build.

i have only ever once had radiator issues but that was from driving through reeds 7ft hight that had been burnt,, however the problem we have had with our previous 2005 isuzu 34 and now with our 2009 isuzu 34 was when the air filters became too clogged not enough air was able to get into the engine and it went into "safe" mode and basically shut down the turbo and alot of the trucks power..

the newer 34, only the check engine light has come on, on the dash however the older 34 had the turbo issues, once the air filter was cleaned on both trucks the issue was then gone.

So now we know why Lyndoch 24 is offline and at Dr. Springton. Wonder what caused the radiator blockage and 'crud in fuel system'.

Perhaps it was established that a rescue appliance was not required. If anything a jacknifed truck would be a job for a heavy haulage company. Would have been a different story if there were entrapments.

I think its the suburb that put the response out of whack, there was always a rescue going, Wasleys as fire cover, then the response was corrected to Mudla Wirra, I think you will find Roseworthy respond to the college for BA etc.

Just to clarify, because obviously some people aren't aware. Appliance "codes" ending in "9" (i.e. "19" - CFS   "**9" - MFS   "029" - SES are all rescue units).
"00" On a CFS code means fire only (may have chainsaw, BA, etc) while "28" on a CFS code is HAZMAT. "42" is a BWC.

our crew from my brigade, a crew of 4, managed to render the brigade pretty much offline, and this was a for a 11am flooding call.

Looking at how many people probably took a day off at work to assist at two wells alone, asking for that many people from a small selection of brigades is a big ask indeed.  

Some groups in Region 1 got completely missed, where you could just take a command car full of volunteers to man appliances from closer by...meanwhile, i spotted coomandook 34 at two wells...

how can u say over supplying appliances to a minor incident, were u there? how do you know the shed wasnt full of gas bottles of jerry cans full of fuel, how do u know the sehd wasnt attached to a house? maybe MFS should listen to you and under supply these so called minor incidents then when your shed catches fire and a single pump turns up but cant handle it you loose the shed and your house, use a bit of common sense.

Nothing wrong with upgrading and also two reasons for it are A) The crews are in PBI, and at a going job that's hard work, and B)fresh resources to give the crews a break and also share the workload around the job makes sense to me.

We've said it before and we will say it again, better to have resources responding than to wait till it hits the fan, and a STOP CALL never hurt anyone.

how can u say over supplying appliances to a minor incident, were u there? how do you know the shed wasn't full of gas bottles of jerry cans full of fuel, how do u know the sehd wasnt attached to a house? maybe MFS should listen to you and under supply these so called minor incidents then when your shed catches fire and a single pump turns up but cant handle it you loose the shed and your house, use a bit of common sense.

I know it was your first SAMFS job and all, just relax... If, as a rule of thumb, 2 x appliances and some hard work can tackle a house fire, how does that scale for a 5m x 3m shed? No issue if the upgrade is for a given risk, but I'm just interested in the Automatic 2A. If my shed caught fire and a single pump rocked up and couldn't stop it spreading into my house, I would be seriously concerned about the crews competency and would suggest they went back to Drill Squad. It's amazing to see what proactive, gutsy, firefighting can achieve.

sometimes you just need appliances for water and all the reasons that F7 has

Sure, but automatically for a Shed smaller than my bedroom?

Nothing wrong with upgrading and also two reasons for it are A) The crews are in PBI, and at a going job that's hard work, and B)fresh resources to give the crews a break and also share the workload around the job makes sense to me.

We've said it before and we will say it again, better to have resources responding than to wait till it hits the fan, and a STOP CALL never hurt anyone.

Christ, if you need fresh crews and resources for a "Hard work" job that is 15m2 maybe the boys should be heading into the gym a little more often ;)

thanks TFT and SA FIREY, great to see some ppl with common sense about themselves, cheers

Asking questions of a procedure that appears to not take into account the actual incident is a lack of common sense? Sorry I don't agree with everything you and your agency does.

At least they are not wearing goggles to house fires numbers...maybe that should be suggested to MFS.

According to Mr. Corcoran, SAMFS rural gloves are terrible - can't think what their goggles must be like, if they even have them.

6739264 it seems you are trolling to stir up other users. Its easy to sit on your scanner cranking it up and make judgements based on a 2 or 3 line MCT message. I would guess that most of the 2nd alarm appliances were turned back straight away, what is the harm in over resourcing a job anyway?? If another incident happened at same time they would all be availble to respond so no damage done.

Me, stirring people up, but asking common sense questions at the same time?

Have you read any of my previous posts?

Without getting people as wound up as it would seem has happened, I was merely asking about the validity of having an Automatic 2A response, without it taking into account of the actual structure involved. The risk classes are pretty wide ranging and as such it would seem that a one size fits all SOP for the different risk classes, rather than allowing the S/O on scene to advise Comms of wht he/she actually requires, is perhaps not the best way to do things?

God forbid I ask a question on a discussion forum?

Quick question for the Comms/SES dudes. Is there any difference between the incident type in the following:

SCC: *CFSRES: TASK NO 16, RESPOND FLOODING, 31 MARGARET STR MURRAY BRIDGE, REQUESTING SANDBAGS

SCC: *CFSRES: TASK NO 41, RESPOND FLOODING SALVAGE, 43 MURTHO STR RENMARK, WATER COMING TOWARD HOUSE

Are these modifiable/operator editable incident types or are they preset akin to CFS/MFS?

What are the definitions for each if they are preset? To a simple Fireman like myself they all seem to point at the exact same type of incident...

All flooding jobs but calltakers have some flexability with the database. Extra words are behind the titles to assist in the statistics (eg house with water in it is different from water rising in yard to water through roof). The Comms Out staff also select what they type to give the best info. Some OK, some not.

Four hurt in bus rollover near Hamley Bridge

    * From: AdelaideNow
    * January 17, 2011 4:35PM

FOUR people have been taken to hospital after a disability services bus rolled north of Adelaide.

Emergency services were called to Hamley Bridge Rd, three kilometres from Hamley Bridge, just before 3pm, where the mini-bus left the road and rolled.

The four have been treated at the scene and are expected to be taken to the Lyell McEwin Hospital.

Issues with some GRN towers in riverland areas. Concentrators at those stations auto-page for jobs. So if the paging is unreliable the concentrators need to be monitored to avoid missing alarms.

Just having a look at the paging site and came across this message. Nothing earth shattering about it other than it was repeated 60 times. Surely they can send out a general info message to everyone who needs to know instead of sending the same message individually?

I'm only making an assumption here, but perhaps that pager group is set up like brigades. Send one message to the response number of a CFS brigade and it automatically copies to the group officers paging group.
The SES in this case might have it set up like that rather than the CFS regional numbers etc. which just send it to everyone in that region in the one paging group.

Thought this would be sensible given the CFS regions are resource tracking, logistics, etc. I would suggest that an individual fire may not be extreme to control, but multiple incidents could stretch resources.

I learn't 2 weeks ago the value of a well planned & deployed ICC. If IMT are behind because they have not been activated quickly or pre-deployed, then it can cause all sorts of issues at the incident.

YP is part of R2. Landcruisers have a considerable towing capability. Empty sandbags in compressed bundles take up little space (but are heavy). Some actions are preemptive after a significant usage is noted.

OLO020 is Lobethal/Onkaparinga SES
LOBE19 is Lobethal CFS

Both go to the same paging ID, because they are the same people. Onkaparinga SES was combined into local CFS years ago.

There is a similar setup with Woodside, Balhannah and Lenswood. Causes plenty of confusion.

Probly Elizabeth, not every COQ shows up on paging. There are a multitude of possible reasons for 359 being in 32; ie driving through on there way home from engineering.

Just wondering why....

I notice when a fixed/private alarm goes off in rosedale, Shea oak log & Roseworthy get paged as primary response but if it's a domestic fire or accident, concordia & williamstown get paged as primary. Who's area is it actually?

And before anyone asks, it has happened more than once.

Those pager messages have been going out for a couple of months now, SAAS have also been doing their own testing with a similar style of message.

You may also see a fire one that is designed to open station doors.

It is good to see things happening. The word is it may be ready to go by next fire season, but whether we change over then or not is another thing.

Nothing wrong with the initial emerg page. Same as punching the manual turnout button at any station.

Just a curiosity about the SES. I'm not aware of the areas that either SAMFS or SASES cover down that way, just noted the SES turnout was not via AF nor was the location correct. Can't think why a local response arrangement isn't put to AF to have it occur automatically.

Sounds like you're in the MFS how did you possibly get in with grammar and spelling you have shown above?
he he he!

First of all defaulting stations is something that is not unique to the CFS you only need to mention a retained MFS brigade in the Mid North that no longer exists or an MFS station had had trouble getting crews in the Barossa that was being backed up by a full time appliance from Gawler when other CFS stations with appropriate crew are closer.
 
It does not make sense for appliances to traverse great distances past other resources from another fire services and that goes for both commands of both fire services.

How about we stop the game playing and just get on providing the best fire and rescue service model we can provide to the community which will always be a mix of paid, retained and volunteer in this state due to budgetary constrains and practicality of service gained versus dollar spent!

Stop banging on your gong and get on with the job!

Title: Re: Interesting Fire and Emergency Related Paging

01-07-11 11:17:49 LN1 Cat7 Cnr Crockerton Rd, Elizabeth 51 N16 - Adelaide Uni Road Accident Research

cat 7 is a stand by; this was the only call to this address.

The ambulance from Playford had broken down, and he went to ferry the crew back to Elizabeth where workshops delivered a spare fleet. :wink:

Title: Re: Interesting Fire and Emergency Related Paging
Post by: Pipster on August 05, 2011, 12:29:31 AM
The Manager of some part of the hospital, (can't remember which bit) stated there was an audit done of the contents of fridges in Pharmacy, and the Nitroglycerin was discovered... likely to have been there for many years, as it was used extensively in pharmacy 30 or so years ago.

I am guessing the nitroglycerin was put into the SAPol explosion containment vessel, and driven to Echunga, where it could easily be destroyed, without destroying anything else.....

Interesting! It's funny how these things turn up, like the WW2 shell found in an old bathroom there a couple years ago.

I suppose they would have made GTN in the hospital back then. Nitroglycerine becomes more unstable over time, so I'm not surprised everyone was a bit concerned!

Would have been good to see it go off!

But it should be interesting and I'd love to see what else is there. When I was in the catacombs, I found a phone book from 1984!

Probably in relation to the trial of the new pager acknowledgment procedure, a few CFS, SES and retained MFS stations are trialing it starting on Monday (15th). Basically acknowledging the page with link paging, who will then page Adelaide Fire with the name of the brigade and the person that called. A message then pops up on their screen with the details.

Will mean that many more operators are able to take the calls than currently exists in Adelaide Fire, one of the problems on a big day (and sometimes not even a big day) is that you can't through to acknowledge.

I know the full story of this as I am actually the owner of this Unit. The way the whole incident unfolded and the subsaquent handling of it all could do with some improvement.

As mentioned the substance used was Fumitoxin and thankfully that was all.

There was no damage to the unit apart from a couple of smashed windows and lets just say say there wont be any rodent problems in the future.

Title: Re: Interesting Fire and Emergency Related Paging
Post by: Alan (Big Al) on September 26, 2011, 10:06:46 AM
All '9' pumpers in MFS carry HAZMAT equipment, therefore Seaford 469 and Christies 439 are a tad closer.
Title: Re: Interesting Fire and Emergency Related Paging
Post by: FlameTrees on September 26, 2011, 10:14:27 AM
But are they specialist hazmat, or just the basic gear? I dont know what a 9 stowage would be, but I noticed that the Hazmat at Hackham on Friday or Saturday (days are a blur right now) even when it as a Met job they sent 206 instead of 439 or 469......

I also noticed that the paged Hag info confirmed that full splash suits were required...would a standard 9 rescue pumper carry these and associated gear?

Pardon my ignorance, I dont really get to play with red trucks in my role....and even when I do not to the extent of knowing their stowage. Always willing to be educated :)
Title: Re: Interesting Fire and Emergency Related Paging
Post by: pumprescue on September 26, 2011, 02:31:19 PM
Big Al is right, there is the same gear on a 9, 206 is carrying extra specialist equipment such as over drums etc that not to many CFS truck carry and that we call Burnside to bring the state hazmat appliance, which essentially is what 206 does.

Simple fact, we hate using each others resources....

When will SAPOL finally get the point it isnt up to the "VOLUNTEER" to do jobs like this.

So what do you propose instead? Pull out 10 patrols from Adelaide and send them down to Bordertown to do the work? Wouldn't preparing a vehicle for recovery be part of the RCR operations? So rather than keep the volunteer crews out there, standing around twiddling their thumbs for hours while Major Crash take their photos, do their mesaurements and tests and whatever else, they release the volunteers, let them go get a couple more hours sleep, then bring them back one the recovery phase of the RCR operations is ready to begin.

Squirting locust carcasses off the road, now THAT is something thats a complete waste of volunteer time.
Title: Re: Interesting Fire and Emergency Related Paging
Post by: Bagyassfirey on October 20, 2011, 07:42:07 AM
i propose that when the emergency is over ITS OVER volunteer emergency crews go home. There are Salvage company's that get paid mega bucks to clean this up all the time. This is why we as VOLUNTEERS get used time and time again because unfortunately because of our attitude we give in and do these things.

Obviously my opinion only
Title: Re: Interesting Fire and Emergency Related Paging

Title: Re: Interesting Fire and Emergency Related Paging
Post by: FlameTrees on October 20, 2011, 05:47:21 PM
BUT...if the boxes are part of evidence as part of the investigation, then it would be an SES task (remember, they do sort of still fall under Police jurisdiction in a round a bout way). No different to SES doing an evidence search anywhere else really.


But I also understand what you are getting at, we use and abuse the volunteer time way too much.

CMS is effectively the current CAR041

Is this stop call appopriate? No indication of where it initiated from. No indication of where it's going to. Eg: Coombe are in the initial response but didn't get a stop call.

Apprently the Blackwood crew are offline for annual dinner....but clearly not offline in the right place !! Oh thats right Sturt have to keep everything inhouse and not let the outside world know what is going on (much like a cult). Not to mention they have never been rescue for that area.

They aren't rescue, and never have been so why would Blackwood be defaulting to them for rescue. Aren't Christies MFS the rescue resource to that area anyway.

Probably not the biggest issue for the day, but stuff that will need to be sorted out.

I believe Blackwood did respond to this job, so why were Eden turned out at all ??

They aren't rescue, and never have been so why would Blackwood be defaulting to them for rescue. Aren't Christies MFS the rescue resource to that area anyway.


Eden Hills Used to carry Heavy Rescue Equip, and when State took it away, they had/have Rapid Intervention Combi Tool.

It also included a page for Cherry Gardens (CHRY34)
Corrected shortly thereafter to Cherryville (CHVL24)
Would that be database or operator error?

At some stage in the future, they are likely to become a brigade in their own right......

Mmm interesting. Looks like they have accidentally created a saas event and then attached you to a "saas job".

There is no "assist saas" event type in cad for fire or ses attendance, hence why we are seeing a lot of "assist resident" with further details saying the job is assisting ambos.

That job "request saas assist" is actually used to send a message to the Ambos for them to attend a fire job  in 'interCAD'' which is the link between safire, saas and spoil when SACAD is brought fully online.

Hope that makes sense.

Isn't the whole point of the DIN, for the comcen to differentiate between each and every job.

I would have thought each DIN, has a different AIRS incident number.

E.g

INC0001 RESPOND STRUCTURE COMMERICAL BLA
INC0001 RESPOND CHANGE OF QUARTERS

As the COQ is an action caused by Incident 0001 ;)

"AIRS numbers", PIRs are sequential for every job added to AIRS, these push automatically from SACAD regardless of the agency or DIN and are always unique, ie; they dont reset at midnight.

Each Comcen generates its own DINs which are meant to represent part of the workload and contain COQ. Since the transition to SACAD, SAFire and SASES events seem to have split into there own sets of DINs.

So yes, every event is meant to have its own DIN, however SES get there own counter.

I am curious as to whether 0430 recruitment for Strike teams and resources are really warranted given that this incident has been going for at least 3 - 4 days now..?? Whilst I fully appreciate that any fire can be dynamic and resource requirements can change rapidly, I would have thought that the resources required would be better understood (rather than a new, escalating fire) and that recruitment and acquisition of resources would occur in a more timely manner.

I am not being critical but rather making a constructive "outsiders" observation and asking whether this is the norm and / or appropriate for an incident that is 'not new' so to speak and that a 'Reduced Threat' message was issued last night...

ANy thoughts / feedback...???

Planning & Timing doesnt seem to be on Region 1's side at present.

The initial Sturt/Lofty/Mawson/ET strike team left yesterday at 1500.

Instead of 8pm or 5am this morning, The call to individual brigades in Victor/Strath/Onka/SouthFleu should have started at 1500 yesterday. That gives people time at work, to discuss arrangements with there bosses. Departure time could have still been 0700.

In 2009, for the victorian fire deployments, Region 1, did a very good job. They paged all of the group officers at the same time, bringing the request to all GO/DGO/CAPT's attention at the same time. Due to this, pre-planning was on the spot, rather than delayed.

Was information flow a victim of staff movements???  Region 2 are kicking 1's asses.

Region 2 are kicking 1's asses.

R2 have been in everything (not just planning) for a while now. Giving people 15mins, or an hour, notice to go away for 3-5 days is very poor organisational planning and very poor treatment of volunteers (especially for a fire that has been going for some time).

As for the Victor group pages, I'm very surprised the GO did that. A 10am departure to drive that distance would make no practical difference on the fireground.

We were told on Thu night that no more region 1 crews would be needed until Today, then we got the 4am wake up call.  Based on the pager messages earlier on Thu I prebooked my leave with my bosses.

It made a long day to.  We didn't get into the awesome tents until 11-12 that night.

We got deployed almost straight away and don't think we relieved anyone.

The fire was rapidly changing and the wind shifts were amazing.  A couple of  times we were blacking out a control line, then watching it take off before falling back a k or 2 to the next control line.    I believe this behaviour didn't stop during the night, so the 4am call could have been of panic.

I heard originally they wanted the crews for 8am, which got hit on the head straight away.

The day sleepers got stretchers in a gym.

The night was bad enough hot, humid, noisy and uncomfortable. Not a lot of sleep was had by all

I am curious as to whether 0430 recruitment for Strike teams and resources are really warranted given that this incident has been going for at least 3 - 4 days now..?? Whilst I fully appreciate that any fire can be dynamic and resource requirements can change rapidly, I would have thought that the resources required would be better understood (rather than a new, escalating fire) and that recruitment and acquisition of resources would occur in a more timely manner.

I am not being critical but rather making a constructive "outsiders" observation and asking whether this is the norm and / or appropriate for an incident that is 'not new' so to speak and that a 'Reduced Threat' message was issued last night...

ANy thoughts / feedback...???

Yep. I was on the IMT that made that decision. We identified due to increased fire activity overnight, and a chronic change in weather forecast received at 0300 that we were going to need more resources than had originally been planned for. Reduced Threat was replaced at 0530 with a WAM.

Why not some crews from R4 and the top of R2 organised at short notice for a say 6 hour shift to allow the crews from further afield to get there. I agree a 4 am wake up for a strike team 5 hours away is a bit tough

I'm curious Alex (or the other AF guys reading this) how SACAD can still dispatch the likes of Ironbank instead of Iron Knob, Stirling instead of Stirling North etc, given it's location/map-based and computer/database recommended appliances?  It was understandable it could happen occasionally with BOMS where an operator not paying enough attention could pick the wrong entry in a drop-down list but if the operator is now out of the equation, how does it still happen?
Title: Re: Interesting Fire and Emergency Related Paging
Post by: Alex on January 10, 2012, 09:03:43 PM
Those accidental dispatches have only occurred where additional appliances are being added to jobs and are human error due to confusion with call signs being given over radio (ie flinders group BWC calling themselves "stirling tanker") and operator error in comms with confusion over shortened callsigns.

Please keep in mind that shortening your appliance callsigns on radio is sometime more of a hindrance than a help.

Agreed Pip, if they can have a dedicated spotted plane keeping an eye on fire activity along the TDU route, and at one stage 2x rotary wing bombers and a spotter platform on active standby, a cleanup/chainsaw crew should have been a given.

This was not an emergency event............ more like worried event organizers mitigating embarrassment with Adelaide in the spotlight. AdelaideNow reported "have been no warnings announced over race radio". If this was the case, perhaps the TDU organisers were trying to keep it all hush hush............. that was never going to happen.

it's a world event, showcasing lots about  the state. I reckon it was a valid call to do what was needed to keep it running smoothly and safely. Maybe in the future they will look at other needs as a result of what has happened, thats how the fire related resources happened to be produced remember but on the day....today, right call.

You could be forgiven for thinking that volunteers only want to be disturbed for the 4th alarm campaign fires, and not the other small "e" emergencies that the public has, when they dont know who to call. Maybe using a broom instead of a 64 is beneath some people

Most probably have a road sweeper on standby next year. But....

** this was during the community ride before the TDU started & affected cyclists
** what is the difference to community risk from this incident & your 'clean up' pagers for oil, grain spills & post Road Accident incidents ?

I agree with the money spent that should have risks covered. Last year they had SAAS, SES and CFS vehicles following the TDU cyclists during each stage. Not sure if they have the same this year.

They do.
But this wasn't in Adelaide.
According to the media, TDU did arrange for a contract sweeper to go over the
road, and it arrived before the CFS crew/s had finished. 
Given that a stage is 120-150 km or so, and this is a first time, it would seem
unreasonable for the TDU to have had one stationed every 20km or so needed to
achieve a reasonable response time.

I hope the CFS crew/s took pictures. Putting tacks out to puncture the tyres of
racing bikes, even if it was "just" the public being targetted, is only one
step short of setting man-traps in my view.

What an appalling decision, no offence to the Brigade concerned, but to be honest with 5 calls (which included a stop call) you hardly justify the cost of a Brigade....let alone an appliance. Buy 5 farm fire trailers, give them to the local community and let them do their own thing while they wait for the next nearest appliance.

Righto Arthur......I know you read the forums because you have complained to me about them before.....care to come on and try and explain this one away?? Now's your chance

If not then Sandy, Chief, D/Chief??? - you are all reading this....anyone??? Bueller... Bueller ... Bueller???

reedy creek, tilley swamp, the vehicle replacement program is a shambles, there are brigades out there getting their 2nd 34P, yet there are brigades like mine still trying to fit our rcr gear on our 24P and continually trying to add extra space for it, we train weekly with 20-30 members, never fail to get out the door in a timely manner, and yet we keep getting looked over when all brigades as busy or even a little quieter had theirs replaced ages ago..

We keep getting told of the risk we cover but we are asked to cover it in an appliance that is literally falling to bits, the plumbing needs to be fixed up, it need a refurb basically and once again CFS dont want to know about it

Al's Brigade is a perfect example of the shambles that is I & L

Maybe Al, time to "play the game", less work for free in members own time cobbling together backyard repairs for the truck, more time with it offline awaiting repairs - paid for by CFS. Also, might be time to get it weighed, I reckon your model 24P with all the P gear plus RCR would be extremely close to the limits....again, if it's over - truck is offline.

Pump....I think that actually came close at a conference a little while ago but was averted by some fancy negotiating, and promises some things would change. I alluded to it in a different post. I also believe moves are afoot to ramp up the dissent.

Actually, I read it as a case of the originator of the page having a go at those in his Brigade for not responding because the page had the MFS on it. He informed them that the MFS did not in fact attend and could they please respond in the future regardless of who is on the page.
What was it one of u guys said about all the bagging/point-scoring etc that is aimed at neighboring Brigades being the crux of all that is wrong with the CFS??.....  :lol:

After every job I always put on FB "Well done to the CFS crews today" or something similar. I think it's impotant people know we are out and about...after all they can see much more than that on the CFS FB page, the CFS website or the paging site. It's not appropriate to put up specific details tho. As mentioned, use you brain and you'll be right. We have a simple Brigade Rule regarding this stuff which seems to work fine.  The draft media policy has everyone scared they won't be able to vent on social media sites instead of actually going thru proper channels  :wink:

I wouldn't go that far. How many have actually gotten out of parks in recent years? Using bombers isnt a sign of failure, it's a resource that's available, especially for working on terrain like the one named above. The problem lies with the government requiring a increasing percentage of the state burnt each season, with limited funding for feet on the ground. Just like any multinational business trying to increase profit while decreasing costs. I definitely agree there are issues but I'd struggle to find one government related agency that doesnt have issues.

I would suggest a better measure of the impact is the number of crew hours taken to fix those that have. Counting the Eyre Peninsula over the last couple of seasons the figure would be in the 10s of 1000s

No-one does controlled burns terribly well, DENR (or whatever they are today) just do their bit to maintain that result....admirably

Very easy to jump to wrong conclusions from a pager messages. Aircraft can be used for a variety of reasons, many of which are strategic and not in a "CFS bailing them out" mentality- i.e. to support ground crews or strength control lines during a prescribed burning. Sometimes it's also safer to use aircraft to lay down a wet control line, than to put crews in there.

Is it better they burn out these area now or should we have a wildfire rip through on a bad day sometime down the track.

Aircraft are a state resource, they may as well put them to use than have them collecting dust at Woodside  - it helps CFS justify keeping them all (Wingfield was good example of this), gives the pilots and ground crew invaluable training and helps make prescribed burning safer by jumping on any areas of concern during a prescribed burn straight away.

Can anyone shed any light on this???

A 4 WD appliance that hold approx 1000 litres of water, that is housed at the Balhannah station was going to the township or locality of Gumeracha for a period of time of more than 1 hour but less than 24, for the purposes of testing the pump on the sid appliance. This message was sent by the Lieutenant 1 of the brigade.

Hope that helps  :-D

Post by: JJD on April 19, 2012, 11:00:41 AM
Lol i deserved that!  :lol:

What i'm asking is why said appliance needed to be taken to gumeracha for testing of a pump. There is no mechanic or testing facilities, etc. in gumeracha, so why there? Its a 25km drive well outside of the brigades area, let alone group. There is an identical appliance in gum station so if it wasnt the pump on the appliance itself that needed testing but something requiring a pump, i.e. some sort of installation, then why use an appliance from so far away????

further to the above how many brigades out there run an active power supply to truck batteries for recharging at their stations???

We used to but found the batteries failed often after 2 years and we had more problems than not. For the last 6 or 7 years we have moved away from the rechargers and just simply isolate the truck, since doing this we have had far less isssues with batteries and the trucks not starting.
Title: Re: Interesting Fire and Emergency Related Paging
Post by: Darius on May 16, 2012, 10:26:39 AM
we use ctek 24V chargers which are connected when the trucks are in the station.  Have heard rumours there can be problems with calcium batteries fitted in new trucks but fortunately/unfortunately we don't have a problem with that due to not having a new truck.  The trucks are always kept isolated but we still used to occasionally find a flat battery and have to roll start a truck (mainly our 14) which is why we fitted the chargers to the station about 2-3 years ago, have not had a problem since.

from memory its a dirt rd from the highway to the lookout.....BRT's turn pale when faced with anything less than 2 lanes of hotmix

Otherwise, maybe denuding the town of its response (a relatively higher risk) than taking Wilmingtons appliance (relatively lower risk) might have featured in the thinking

Alternatively, its CFS area.....keep the scabbing blue-shirts out of it...  :evil:

Multiple Incident Procedure

Basically limiting low priority traffic and a different call screening/dispatch process to try to manage resources and maintain fire coverage during peak workloads.

NEW 34P APPLIANCE BEING DELIVERED NEXT MONDAY NIGHT AT 1900.CREW WILL BE REQUIRED FOR APPLIANCE FAMILIARISATION. STRATH CAPTAIN - CFS Strathalbyn Info

Good luck to Strath for having a very modern fleet but i would really like the people who allocate vehicles explain why some brigades can have 2 new 34P's when there are other brigades like ours that have a very tired 24P which is our frontline urban and RCR appliance and be told we have to have it until its 20-25 years old.

Seriously, anyone out there who can explain how this works?? one minute we are told our 24P is past the age limit for refurbishment but there are other 24P's of the same age going for refurbishment.

I wouldn't have thought any issue involving volunteers deserves a pager message like that.

My first response would have been throwing my pager at the LT3's head, followed by my crew bag, with my letter of "get f***ed and jam it" in there. I surely hope this is being dealt with appropriately.


Totaly uncalled for, especially in areas where they are REALLY struggling for volunteers. Maybe it was an outgoing LT with some sour grapes?

found this interesting, send stirling north to inc 69 which they have to go through whyalla instead of sending them to inc 72 which they are far closer than roxby downs, send 529 to the rcr keep 519 at station and send stirling north to the fire i would have thought would make sense.

I think that's because with SACAD the RCResearch mob weren't getting pages separately any more, they were just getting repaged any message that had the characters "RCR" in it, so there wasn't much point in including them in the feed...

Pump03, pump06, etc could be the same issue, but are also at times used as extra appliances, ie when MFS strike team was dispatched to port Lincoln.

I believe CFS SOP is that a rescue resource will be responded to any vehicle accident, until nil entrapment is confirmed by an emergency service on scene.  This was part of the RCR resource directory but now that's been replaced by SACAD I'm not sure where these policies come from.

MFS don't have the "rescue to every job" policy, so they have a 'minor cleanup' response type, but they're not supposed to use this for CFS jobs.

I've heard the same thing, we got called to a Minor Clean up a few months ago, which immediately got updated to RCR, which got a rescue appliance sent as well. Though when we (Both us and the Rescue) arrived, the Ambo's were just leaving with the sole occupant, and SAPOL had already set up. So I'd think the 'nil entrapment' call might have to come from us/RCR person. Not sure though.
Title: Re: Interesting Fire and Emergency Related Paging
Post by: Alex on December 16, 2012, 07:07:11 AM
Not a CFS SOP thing, purely to do with RCRD and the metro MFS boundary being used as the border for its policy.


All jobs outside of metro MFS have to be sent as an RCR, every now and then an operator inadvertently sends a minor cleanup for an MVA and so they are quickly upgraded to rectify it.

There is still much confusion as to what the responses across all of SA should be for road accidents, especially since CAD came online. The RCR Comittee does not exist any longer, but the reasons the RCRD was created are still valid. It will be interesting to see what evolves.

why cut out resources from a fleet when they can be used in different areas by strike teams.  The areas where extra resources are allocated often have a high risk in terms of fire cover due to population, but with a higher population comes a higher number of people who would volunteer, so effectively creating a reserve army of firefighters would can respond to any area of the state and not drastically reducing the number of resources in the affected area

The only "Woops" is the accidental duplication, although I would suggest the locations were "different enough" to warrant checking.

Brigades sent on the duplication stopped and then upon arrival at initial job responded as an upgrade.

Driving back to Adelaide from north of Clare, first spotted the smoke from just south of georgetown, so very suprised to see that page later.  It was quite a decent smoke column by the time I passed the area.

From what I hear they are.

When we did out HLO training, we watched the DVD and then went out for a practical on it. It stuck much better then just watching the DVD would.

It's a lot better than nothing... and can be made into quite an interesting training night.

Just more uneccessary over-resourcing. Either CFS do these type of calls or SES do them, not both (my opinion only).

We're meant to be doing it again sometime soon.

I agree. No need for overkill. Also I've seen in some places 2 CFS appliances paged, and SES paged for a tree down. And that's for a P2.

Adam internet has had some major outages at it's stirling and glenunga exchanges, so the person who is hosting the feed may be affected by this. Believe it is due to some issue with Adam's backhaul provider.

So that may be why feed 1 is down?

It's not completely uncommon in that area to see them doing that sort of thing.
Thankfully I noticed SAAS had responded crews to that same address approx ten minutes earlier.

Certainly seems to be outside of SOP. I presume it may have been a family member or friend though, so a bit hard not to get emotionally involved.

yes i believe the brigade has used to air support, and the rcr gear was actually one of i believe 8 or so brigades that had the rcr rapid intervention, with cfs taking the stance of what it costs to maintain them, and if actual rcr coverage is needed, then a full rcr kit will be supplied, i do believe i saw a page from a brigade with a volvo pumper which did not conform to the ideals either,

I was refering to how many times an appliance is used for the sake of keeping it and the viability of having the CFS in an area.

The stats on their website look pretty 'normal' to me...

Although I am not in CFS, I think that their data is great for raising the professional profile of both the organisation as well as a sound recruitment tool..

(I do wonder about all of the info pages that are sent, but if the recipients dont mind receiving them AND they have a resource to send them AND the messages add value to the role that CFS is undeetaking during the incident AND they aren't in breach of any policy, procedure and protocol - then meh what does it matter..!!! lol)  8-) :lol: :lol:

Maybe I am missing something here..???

No need to post them all. They do it for every call they have.

Theyve been criticised previously for how ridiculous it is. If the brigade members and Groupies need to know they should monitor GRN voice.

Post by: Yossarian on March 06, 2013, 03:04:20 PM
Being ex member of the Barossa Group I have some inside understanding.
The brigades have been requested to page to the groupies when mobile and when back in station, and most brigades there page when station closing. 
The pages for mobile I found as a member helpful. If I was a distance away as was heading there for the callout and was told both appliances had left then there is no need for me to 'rush' to the station, instead I could make other stops as neccesary.
Same for paging back, no need to drop past station to see if needed.
All the rest always seemed a waste of time, energy, batteries, patience, etc.

If it was in MFS area, then yes, but it is about 3km west of the MFS/CFS Boundary between Elizabeth/Virginia, and the Northern side of the expressway at that interchange is Dalkeith.

EXACTLY...I went over our brigades response data with neighbouring brigades before entry into SACAD to make sure it was correct. unsure if your brigade did the same RAVEN if not I'd be asking why the brigade didn't ave the opportunity!

Surprise surprise our group has no issues....what is the saying...Proper Preparation prevents p*ss poor performance!!
Title: Re: Interesting Fire and Emergency Related Paging
Post by: Alan (Big Al) on March 12, 2013, 06:50:50 PM
Unless the job is for a specialist resource such as RCR or Hazmat etc then SACAD will pick the truck that has been K5 the longest, if its a rural fire and you have a 34P and a 24 and the 34P has been "online" the longest then that truck is the one that will be picked..
 Hence why brigades definitely should be taking the appliance they deem appropriate UNLESS that resource has been specifically requested for the job.

I think this is pretty much correct but am happy to be proven otherwise. anyone from AF care to add or change the above??

Nothing wrong with defaulting occasionally - that's why we have the systems we do to allow for it - just do it early, don't keep waiting another couple of minutes just in case someone else turns up.........

Then express your dissatisfaction at training or a brigade meeting NOT on the paging system!

Didn't they already have 1 crew out with a strike team to Tunkillo already.  That and being a Friday night, I think this comment may be a little over the top.

Are you kidding???
Ask someone whose house is alight if its ok to wait another 10 mins for the next brigade to just get mobile, and considering they will be coming from further as well!!!
The response time will likely be about 25 mins, in that time a structure fire will progress from "incipient to CARPARK"
Then theres always the question of adequate BA resourses!!! Pity the poor filtered inside!!!
Yeah another great save, NOT.
Title: Re: Interesting Fire and Emergency Related Paging
Post by: Shiner on March 20, 2013, 09:36:47 PM
Perhaps that person who's house might be alight at some point in the future should be thinking about rocking up to their local brigade and becoming a member so that there is a better chance of a truck getting out of the door?

Some rural brigades only have enough active members to fill one truck - what if they are already out on another call?  What if they have just got back from 12-hours on another job - would you want them to risk their fatigued body and mind by going to another job?

It is easy to take a single viewpoint and make a case that stands up but try looking outside the square.

As for sufficient BA - have you heard or seen of the new Defensive Fire Suppression course - even the system is recognising that it is more likely now that the first arriving appliance (whether the local brigade or not) will be unable to provide any useful service to the burning structure but may be able to protect surrounding assets etc.

Nobody wants to see a house burn down but neither are we always able to respond or turn out a crew from the local station and as I said in my original post, that's why we have systems to deal with that but it depends on how those systems are used.

New defensive fire suppression course - you are joking aren't you?

The system is recognising that the first arrival appliance is useless and is only good for protecting assets - Is this because it took so long for a truck to get there?

This must be based on CFS stats.

Post by: Shiner on March 21, 2013, 03:39:28 PM
Am I serious - yes I am deadly serious.

I don't know what part of the state you chaps are from but where I am, we have farmhouses with driveways that take 10 minutes to get from the road to the house, never mind the travel from the fire shed to the gate.  We have trucks that carry 2 BA sets - even if you have got 2 operators, you can't send them in, who will back them up?

We have brigades that may not have been to a structure fire for many years (if ever), we have many trucks with no BA sets or operators even if they had the sets.

Isn't it a good idea to prepare them and give them some thinking material on what to do when they arrive even if it is in prep for following crews?

Or should we stick our head in the sand and think that all brigades will respond in a timely manner with 4 or 6 BA operators (and sets!)??

I don't see any suggestions in either of the posts in reply to mine - let's hear your ideas that's the whole point of a forum isn't it??????

Shiner,

I understand your point.

I do not have anything to do with the CFS other than working WITH the crews at incidents. I do not have a problem with the CFS personnel that I work with.

The CFS as a whole organisation wants to promote themselves as a professional emergency service. Some people should be diciplined for putting messages on the paging system - which is available to everyone for their viewing pleasure - whenever they have an issue. Mr Joe Public who see's a message that reads................

Wonder how many of "Joe Public" realise that CFS Brigades have no "Offensive Attack" abilities in a large number of Regions? And that should the unthinkable happen, there may be no one ABLE to help on the way.

conversely they could draw the conclusion that they get great value for money because should the most likely catastrophic incident in their area occur (ie a bushfire) up to (in my case) 137 firefighters are available with pagers to respond and get 13 appliances (+ 3 command cars)to a scene within a 6km radius of the centre of the group. Now they may not all be BA qualified, they may not all be highly profficient, they may not all drive automatic trucks, and they may not all prostitute themselves publically for a calendar launch......but in the far majority of cases, they are safe, efficient and professional. Compare the numbers to a metro incident, where that number of appliances empties 2/3rds of the MFS stations and leaves the MFS unable to mount another 3rd alarm response in many cases - unless (as always the CFS fills them with COQs). All that, and the ESL payers in the Groups either side of me get exactly the same response as well....they too would appear similarly blessed. Perhaps the taxpayers in the suburb with the $9mil car park should ask why they get such a crappy return for the $$

So Muscle, maybe tonight as you sit on the rower at work before your all night in.....you might like to think about moving to the Hills and getting the benefit of CFS coverage in such outstanding numbers, and even better, you might care to join up as give the community the benefit of your expertise and help the CFS Brigaeds in your area improve their skills and expertise......but then of course, for some its just a job too isnt it.

Also we are not allowed to take the trucks off road, this is where the CFS are great assistance.
So don't give the MFS a bad reputation & the CFS disrespect, we are both a fire/emergency service

Yes you are correct misterteddy .......... in a country environment . Nothing wrong with the CFS response in a bushfire situation with acres of grass and trees burning. Yes, I know.... there are houses and buildings that can be involved also and I'm sure the CFS can look after itself.

Bring an urban environment into it and it is a completely different kettle of fish. Domestic dwelling next to domestic dwelling next to domestic dwelling....
guess what, in semi urban environment, MFS strike team for asset protection.

2/3 rds of the MFS appliances are sent to a major fire and the CFS does COQ. How many are CFS are urban qualified crews? How many CFS trucks are urban pumping capable? How many CFS trucks can Boost? How many MFS trucks can go off road? How many MFS trucks have pump and roll capability? How many MFS trucks have burn over protection?

Neither service can compare itself to the other? We all have our specialties and CFS is predominantly for country services and MFS is predominantly for metropolitan services. Where we meet on a boundary, I think we work well together(most of the time). In my experience, out North, there is a lot of this is ours and that is yours, and east, I have interestingly found co-operative service between the two.

I am sick of the Them and Us attitude as I'm sure most are so lets get back to our core business of providing emergency assistance to the people of SA, be it in a White truck or a Red truck, paid or not.

Another example of why strike team crews are hard to get. I think you can understand when a strike team within your own region gets asked for than cancelled within the hour but an intra region strike team I personally think its not up to scratch.

Surely activating a intra region strike team is not a split second decision and proper planning and thought would be given to this??

Or was this instance a split second decision as I did notice one of the "highly trained" level 3 IMT's have hold of this job  :roll:

There was dust to 2500 feet which meant Bombers could not operate, combined with 90 k/mh winds on the fire-ground and flareups it was heavy work for all crews.

I thought there was a policy that once you had been on a Strike Team deployment you were off for 48 hours due to fatigue?

At least they got a page asking. R1 put page out about 12.15 today asking for relief numbers
The new Mundoo group people didn't even put a page out asking for any one. Wouldn't have happened with the previous group people. If R1 asked they put page out to whole group. Pissed a couple of captains off but at least they asked the members.
Down here we don't even get a chance to have a go. I think that's poor management at group level.

First response, the previous group people are gone, there is a good reason for that, they couldnt stand up and take responsibility for their actions they preferred to blame everyone else, and from that the new mundoo group officers now have substantial rebuilding to do for our group name which is now Mud because of previous done deeds....

Captains were asked about putting people forward again, no this wasnt done via pager it was done via phone.

If you are going to continually have an anonymous snipe on a public forum at this group and its brgades and what goes on at least have the balls to put your  name to it.

The problem is big al. That if only a phone call goes to the captains then they don't pass of the message to the members then the members don't get a chance. I would call that holding the power & control. As for the previous group your current GO only has 2 years experience in the CFS and your deputy has an ego problem I hear. Like he thinks that the group was run by egos and that he could do a better job didn't he put that in his CV. . So I guess the people that wanted to push out the old group people are doing the job now. I would say they have an ego problem. Either way I think you need to get around your group and find out what the other members think about what's going on down there. You can't just believe what you hear from your own brigade officers.

Post by: Alan (Big Al) on May 10, 2013, 11:10:05 PM
If the message isnt getting to the members via the captain then that is something the members need to bring up with their captain, it has nothing to do with the group..
As for our current GO sure he only has 2 years in the CFS but has a decade with a busy urban/rural CFA brigade including a large time of that as an officer plus very good managerial skills within his earlier work life, so how about u give the new team a go before you go sodding them off on a forum for all to see.

Btw i form my own opinions and dont rely on others to form them for me..


Anywho this really isnt the place to be airing your personal gripes about a group or individuals within a group, it really doesnt help peoples opinion of our team down here and to be honest makes you look quite petty and bitter, if things dont work out with our current group team then so be it, you can sit in your corner and giggle like a little school child, but until thats proven how about you give them a go and stop slagging them off on here and maybe do it to their faces if you have sych an issue!!

Obviously others are watching hey. Just hope the boys get on with the job. I haven't seen Corey around for a while. It was good to see him on the creek truck the other day.

I think its time to put this to rest, i have said my piece, my opinions are my own formed from things that i have seen happen.

All i will say is first response if you are going to continue to pick on the actions of people or brigades on an open forum, put your name where your mouth is rather than hide behind your anonymity.
Title: Re: Interesting Fire and Emergency Related Paging
Post by: First response on May 11, 2013, 12:10:58 AM
Big Al. People need to respect others opinions as they are just that. And being able to anonymously express your opinion on a forum with out being chastised in your brigade for having an opinion is a good thing. You only have to look at what happens if you speak up for what you think is right in your brigade. You get pushed to the outer pretty quick. Petty or bitter. No, I just read pager site to see others get group or brigade pagers for strike team stuff. But I guess we must do phone a friend stuff instead. Would be nice if all brigade members get a go on a truck. Just my opinion. Just that.
And BTW I was commenting on Baggyassfirey comment on getting strike teams going. If you only ring 1/3 of the brigades members then I guess your not going to get a decent response. Pages are a great resource of communication.

Just my opinion. Your a passionate man Big Al. Run for group Al hehee

Sorry, I don't agree - I think its gutless and underhanded...
I respect someone's right to have an opinion, I do not have to respect their opinion.

If people don't have the courage of their convictions and are prepared to be accountable for what they say and write through putting their name to it, then they should be silent.

Errrrrrrr are you serious or just lacking a little brain capacity?? you actually deduced all of that from my question?

 I have no want nor desire for burnside's pumper i was just simply asking what will become of their rescue area with a 9 pump all of a couple of kilometres away now.

Cad hasn't been adjusted to include 449, and no the tunnels is MFS area, and they always send 2 up and 2 down to cater for traffic etc

Makes sense - thanks.

The lights only run on a timed relay, on a particular route that is requested, from the station (HQ' lights relays are little different to outsations). If you are on the road, it dosen't happen.

Fuel escorting on Sealink Ferry's is something the Southern Fleurieu group has been participating in for a long time. Typically 2 or 4 BA operators are tasked to provide active supervision of large fuel carriage to KI. When I was in the group it did involve a payment for the service provided.

Is it just for normal everyday fuel or something particular because I'm sure there is more than the odd semi load of fuel heading to the island!!

That was actually an error in communications from us, a group car was used by our capt and group officer to go investigate the job. However they failed to let comm's know that an appliance wasn't attending.

 Our appliances are capable of running on the beach to about halfway to the murray mouth but we have been told under no circumstances are they to touch the sand so any fire on the beach is investigated in a group car.

In the end there was no car on fire, which is a nice change as we seem to have a select few down this way at the moment that are stealing cars then torching them on the beach near the carpark.

6 minutes to acknowledge, plus another 10 to go mobile once you acknowledge... so up to 16 minutes before anyone really gets chased up... that is a long time for a fire to develop.

luckily most brigades have either gone the no deplete option or are quite good at knowing their crewing and defaulting early.

And I know people can listen into the radio, but the amount of people that would find out via radio instead of the pager feed would be substantially less.

The GRN Paging and Voice system is the communications method for CFS. Therefore any relevant information should be fine to broadcast on it.

There are only a few things that should not be broadcast, ie specific details on assisting SAPol with drug raids, etc as it can potentially alert their intended targets.

Perhaps if it is a concern they should look at encrypting it, similar to SAAS, SAPol.

As long as they dont mention names or specific gory details (saw a page last year for a fatality where the dispatcher thought it necessary to mention via pager one fatality was decapitated)then its all fine in my opinion.

Post by: Alex on September 20, 2013, 07:16:54 PM
Without including personal details; ie car rego, or persons names, i tend to think the more information the merrier.

If sending a page that says "RCR, 2 fatalities, one ejected, one decapitated" means that a station takes two seconds longer to choose their crew and prevents a young 'innocent' person [or otherwise unfit person] from seeing something they don't really need to, then that's a good thing. It also lets the oncoming crew prepare themselves for what they may be approaching rather than being overwhelmed on arrival.

It is a fine line though, and consideration needs to be given as to the accuracy of the information.

This is all well and good as long as the info sent on the pager is correct. Once was responded to an MVA, car vs embankment, no entraps late one night when I was 17. Got there and it was a high speed car vs tree with dual entrapment. A lot of blood, noise and screaming. I dealt with it fairly well (the screaming nagged at me for a bit) but others perhaps wouldnt in a similar position. Horses for courses.

Whilst i respect every group or individual officer's right to make their own choices, I've never understood the hesitance to put these sort of details [the fatalities, not personal names, numbers etc] over the GRN.

Very true, unfortunately though the sources of information can very rarely be completely relied upon. Communications centres quite often get calls from people who either drive past without stopping, or stop and really have no idea. Information becomes second and third hand and it gets hard to get a real idea until someone arrives on scene. And even then people have varying abilities to determine what exactly is happening, ie; different services carrying different definitions for patients or entrapments, etc..

When I attended my first incident it came over as a rcr the brigade captain did I ask if I was okay to deal with it.  Also we tend not to take young or new members to rcr if the details are sketchy or if not necessary.  I think the reason in our group is that people can listen in to the radios and if information is being sent then you can have people turning up on scene, which can add more problems to an incident.  A  brigade was called up by the media when the group officer was talking about a brigade issue over the radios

Sort had lots of appliances called, but many had delays in getting there - my brigade was called, but being a training night, we were out playing with water, and our tank was pretty much empty, and we were at the other end of our patch (the opposite end to the supposed fire!) - So we had to fill up first, and the next brigade sent.

I believe the spot fire was actually a totally unrelated fire, that had been burning for sometime - nothing to do with the CFS burn at all.

Why do you say their are two appliances out of Gawler, from that message?

Looks like one from Gawler, and one probably out of Elizabeth (perhaps being change of quarters to Elizabeth, from Salisbury)

Well that's what I think would be the case but their is no response for Elizabeth station so unless Salisbury were already on the road or SA Scan didn't pick up the response. Just asking if something new is being practised otherwise?

The first part has the bells dropping at Gawler station.

The second part is the call on Gawler 359' MCT

The third part is the call on Salisbury 321' MCT


The most likely scenario is tha Salisbury were on the road (not necessarily in Elizabeths area, but could have been)

Our group did the same thing!! Nothing wrong with prompting people to check things before forecast extreme weather!!

Remember not every brigade has members that attend the station regularly to check things...fact of life pal some people  have lives outside of CFS and especially this time of year a lot of the farming communities like the one in question their members are away on HOLIDAYS.

BECAUSE it was paged as a RESCUE which means we all get called for it. So rather than be a filtered and ignorantly  and say 'why page the SES' like a fool how about you say why don't Adelaide fire send the page correctly and make it an assist SAAS job like it actually is.

It's like saying why are MFS called to rescue when the only service with any right to rescue and the ultimate agency for rescue is SAPOL!!

I don't think 'Assist SAAS' exists as a response type in SACAD, so for these jobs they have a choice between either 'Assist resident' (which doesn't pick up a rescue resource) or 'Rescue General'.

Actually it does exist it is just never used, there are several to choose from.
- Assist Resident
- Assist SAAS
- Assist Other ESO
- Assist non-ESO/Other

Even if they did "Assist Resident" which doesnt pick rescue, it isnt very hard to change the appliance that goes... Additionally the information that was given was that a rescue litter was required, if that was the case then any appliance sitting in Adelaide Station 20 would have been acceptable particularly 201, 202, 203 or 204.
Title: Re: Interesting Fire and Emergency Related Paging
Post by: Alex on May 11, 2014, 10:12:51 PM

"Assist SAAS" does NOT exist in SACAD in the form of a response type. At this point in time.
The "Assist SAAS" in SACAD was to be used as part of intercad ; ie a job SAAS comms would send to the fire service CAD requesting assistance, which would have its incident type updated based on the details of the call.


The agreed upon procedure by all agencies is that if the assistance is for man power only the closest resource will be responded as "Asisst Resident", if there is difficult extrication then the appropriate response type: eg, rescue general/industrial/heights is to be used to respond special resources.

Title: Re: Interesting Fire and Emergency Related Paging

Hey mate.
That intersection (and the first part of Bains Rd) is Happy's area.
Morphett Vale's area is from Lovick Rd heading South, and the other 2/3 of Bains Rd.

Ultimately just another resource in the system.
With the way SACAD works though it will ease some of the pressure on 329/204 to the north eastern & eastern suburbs and better response times for rescue to the area.

I also found this interesting. Why would they need CFA radio's? wouldnt they use GRN aswell?
Title: Re: Interesting Fire and Emergency Related Paging
Post by: Pipster on September 23, 2014, 06:53:54 PM
They can't use the existing GRN or VHF's as the Vic & SA radio systems aren't compatible.

We had big issues with this at the Eden Valley fire with the NSW crews. Had to end up communicating via general UHF channels.

Good on them for sorting that one out! Wonders whether it is just the SE that are getting them or all border brigades (eg Pinnaroo).

No different to the comms problems between CFS & SES who use the same GRN network but with different allocated frequencies/chipsets...... Been struggling to get that one fixed on a local level for years and finally M/B SES have had the CFS frequencies opened up on their GRN.
Title: Re: Interesting Fire and Emergency Related Paging
Post by: Wholey on September 29, 2014, 12:10:36 AM
All the SES  GRB radios we have/I've used can access the full range of CFS/MFS talkgroups as well as the MA talkgoups, what needs to be changed is the policy for talking on Comms between agency's, especially SES to MFS.

The VHFs are not completely incompatible with each other. Whilst they don't share the same channel numbers, some channels share the same transmit AND recieve frequencies. We discovered this at Bangor. For future reference playing with the radios for 5 minutes will save days of heart ache. Don't quote me but RFS channel 12 and CFS channel 5 comes to mind as able to talk to eachother. I've had a few beers since then so I could be wrong

There is a channel mapping document out there that lists what aligns to what. I would assume it can be requested from the comms guys in State if needed.

I lose track of who has gear, few brigades around who don't seem to have gear according to SACAD.
