Sorry some of us do other things that sit on the net all day. It's handling facility for grapes and vine fruit for a number of businesses... Used to be a 4in-4 out but insurance wanted more- 6 in, 6 out with two pumps and a tank supply.

Halon is covered by a different AS as it is a gaseous suppresant, also there now system that are just straight C02 which are more hazardous as they have the combined effect of dumping up to 10 cylinders of -70 degree Co2 on firefighters and also suck a large amount of oxygen out of the air...

These systems are used in allot of CFS responce areas... Do many brigades know that these systems are in their response area? and also how to isolate the sonoeid?

And the paid staff aren't checking the systems... up here the CFS has never done a walkthrough and even in closer to town we'd fit systems in CFS areas and the brigade were never notified.

And the 2004 AS1851 don't mean a hell of a lot in SA... it isn't the Standard we use...

The FPAA are barely existed in SA. Are no-one cares what they think. And its Law for the systems to be tested by brigades or a hills based contactor every three years to test the pipe integrity.

And when the built environments officer went the system has gone to filtered. Ie no-one checks the compliance hardly anyone.


Not axe to grind, just wondering if CFS can handle the larger boosters with 34P that are more common that the various medium or the heavy pumper.

and places in southern subrubs still have HALON.

and for the record im a sprinkler fitter working at the prominant hill mine.

Are many brigades doing practises on sites... Ie the enormous one at Barrossa... there actually 6 sites as big.

Are there going to be any Heavy Pumpers apart the Dennis...As the industry understands the only heavy pumper is Burnside.

Is there a course that teaches CFS how to handle Halon 1311 or dumping systems like C02?

Are CFS brigades equipped to handle sites in the urban fringes that have Storz already? There are also three sites in Mount Gambier and one at Monarto that has a storz booster... (the installation of Storz has been approved for new installations...) and a wholesaler... Flamestop are now imported selected amounts of storz in SA.

Are the Local brigades talking to the servicing companies to know about weak spots in hydrant coverage and sprinkler coverage and boosting??

Does the CFS communicate with the industry? As in urban, hills and areas done near the Vic border the CFS is like talking to a stone trying to get information out off and to get them to visit sites...

Do the CFS outside of the Urban area actually walk through places to check the suppresion equipment as to AS2444 and AS1851 (1995) As in to make sure that the servicing company is not just rag and tagging the equipment and bad fire suppression equipment placement ie one in the foot hills...  DCP ABE in a fish tank store and AW near electrical...

How many brigades actually do the three yearly visit? cause many clients have never seen the CFS in their lives...


What about pumps? and i know of a 6 in, 6 out booster in the woodside area... Any trucks up there can boost that big? or the 10 in, 10 out in the Barrossa Valley.

Hi just interested whether any brigades have had interaction with the private industry, especially in regards to
sprinklers,
boosters,
dry pipe systems and
tank + pump + booster systems

all of which are now being installed in many hills and country areas.

Are any CFS brigades either urban or rural receiving flow reports for the hydrant flow tests?

Are any brigades being told of overhaul of system, in which the systems (any of the above plus others) are offline?

Have any brigades who have the ability to boost been shown how to boost a automatic monitor system?

Have any brigades talked to the servicing companies about information about how to read, use and understand the booster pumps that are located on site?


Just interested thats all...

We live in one of the apparently undefendable subrubs listed in the Advertiser... on a high fire danger day we have a heavy pumper parked out the front with the foam tanks full and truck full of diesel...

In the morning of cause we check that the tank supply we have is flowing properly and all PPE is ready to go if needed.

Okay just so we all remember we are a voluntary fire service... we are not full time paid. Yes we do an awesome job but we should be glad we don't get called out, less call outs means less fires.

We are here to serve the community not to debate how the MFS conduct their business... and to those whom want more and more work for their brigade, don't its just over resourcing jobs, and using up precious funds.

Hazmat206 is proud of his ability to make the samfs public relations fail. :-P

He is also a Grade A Loser and if found out to be treating others like this would most probaly end up cleaning Trucks for the rest of his career or just being sent to Angle park to fill out papers... :evil:

ahh the possibilies for a bitter loser with no life... both public, private, and we all know he doesn't know how to talk to females... only his bank account...


btw hows the rookie salary going with that ego... must be drying up nice and quickley

Yeah Hazmat206, there is really no need to shoot cfs and unpaid down....

Would you stand holding a 38 or 64 line with three others while fighting a almost sky high fall of flame?

Btw im not a paid staff hater mfs or cfs... but hazmat206 don't be a hater it looks really pathetic and you're making other mfs looked soo bad. *sorry for the stereotype*

What personality... I can get more personality out of a flaked 64mm

« on: September 27, 2008, 11:55:18 AM »
Yeah its getting to ridulous with all the services, yeah the ses are excellent, but if they disband then the fire services can be upskilled even more...

and cam... just think about the scheiße fight to get the ses vehicles... i can personally say that a rural brigade which does alot of RCR, MVA and rescue would die to have one of the ses F trucks... and all the equipment.


What about the naracoorte group getting all their heights rescue gear...?


MMMMMMmmmmm sorry ses advocates but i think it would be good and having one Country fire and rescue service would be good.

Nah looked like a private truck, had custom plate and what looked like a Darley EM2000 pump or something in that size range... filtered big pump.


Haha Burnside... now what they need is what they filtered deserve after the hard filtered work they put in... which is whatever they want.


I think we should get that truck if the owner doesn't want... solve the problem we have with boosting :-D
