SA Firefighter General / Re: CFS using K-codes
« on: January 26, 2011, 12:01:36 AM »
I think you missed the point of Jaff's post. K-Codes are NOT a universally recognised form of communication. Infact, they're not even recognised nationwide or statewide! It's only SAMFS that use them. Everyone can understand plain english and no cheat sheet is required!

If you want to be as professional as possible, stop running your own race, read your SOP's and adhere to them. It's not hard. They're there for a reason.


if half the cfs appliances/ stations use them and half dont if course things are going to get ballsed up! and old mate that was 1 comms operator out of how many? and if the cfs would get them right it would be much easier for coms in a pressure situation. either all in or none in. and if the SOP'S say not to use them then y arent there brigades being instructed not to?

And numbers if you cant differentiate from a computer with no codes infront of you to a fire call which you have the travel time to work out your code with the codes should be there infront of you if you are first arrival in mfs area which happens how much?

sorry my mistake i ment informative after arrival. there are only bugger all codes that the cfs would use anyway. if you dont use them whilst in mfs area you just make it harder for the coms opperator. but it needs to be wide spread you cant have some brigades using them and others not.

k 40 is an arrival code, so if the cfs appliance was using k codes you would only use that if you were arriving first to an mfs area otherwise you would use k 2 or your normal radio procedure. take change of quaters to an mfs station for example, k codes make it clear and precise for appliance movement.

when it comes down to it the ses will get them selves into trouble one day by job stacking and slow response times all due to their pig headedness towards other services. (not saying ll ses just some)

Country Fire Service / Re: Apollo Gold Pagers.

From what i have heard the Apollo pagers are here to stay, the current pagers have been deemed too expensive to get repaired and parts are becoming harder to find. so unfortunately if you send a pager back to be repaired, dont be surprised if you get an Apollo pager in its place.

"slightly bigger" is a massive understatement. the smaller pagers make things alot easier but they are too expensive to be repaired, hence the new model.
