SA Firefighter

All of our other vehicles are london round, so we have adaptors for the stortz, that will be left on permanently. We may change over to london round fittings, if the adaptors are a pain in the filtered.

Hi all

Appliance arrived at the station at 2:30pm today, and is going to MFS engineering to get radios fitted, and a few minor issues sorted out.
CFS Vehicles and Infrastructure were involved, managing the contractural side of things, as well as the communications with the builders etc. The brigade was responsible for the design and the operational issues, with the approval of CFS.

Final cost has not been finalised yet, however it fell within the anticipated budget. Please call me for any further info on the cost side of things. 0402 629 246.

Myself and 4 brigade members have driven it back from Qld.

Chook,

I was referring to your reference that eso's have a blanket exemption. this is not the case. We have exemptions as laid out in the regs, but are still required to comply with elements of the regs, particularly in return journeys. this is where cfs will be mainly affected, having to have drivers shuttled and the requirement for log books used in return journeys. Who provides them, who maintains them, where are they obtained, etc etc.

I believe most MFS monitors are a TFT Crossfire, 1250gpm or 4800Lpm. They have are mounted on a telescopic extension called an Extenda Gun (TFT also).

No argument about that badjas!!

The difficulty I have found currently, is working out a suitable manual system to capture the names etc...... white boards, helmet / Key tags, magnetic boards etc.....all possible systems, but finding one to suit, and that works properly, is sometimes not that easy!!

We simply look at what helmets and gear are not hanging up. Unless someone is on a course (and generally you know who is doing a course), their gear should be there. It works for us quite well.

I'd request second alarm on route going by multiple calls and time of available resources.
Get one on a hose knocking down the fire, concentrating on the left of the entrance way (filtered the garage at this stage). As there isn't much of a breach of the main house area, i'd commit 2 in BA with a hose line to search and surpress, starting from the far left of the house. (With the hose guy outside donned but not started up).
The fourth guy would get a hydrant sunk, and then assist outside dude.

As the main house area isn't that well involved, you could do a fair bit by knocking down the fire in that entrance area. The front door seems to be still intact, and there is not a huge amount of roof and eaves smoke, so spreading the fire internally is not a huge concern for now. Wouldn't worry about ventilation yet, but if i had to, i'd probably push air in from the left side of the house to push the fire back towards the garage. (thats assuming he didn't have a few ferraris and bugatti veyrons in the shed. then its a different story all together...)

We have a couple of guys that live and are members of CFS in the hills that work/play in our area, and regularly turn out and train with us. works well.

well was just making sure that those from HQ that watch this site see that we are pointing people in the right direction...But he can always contact anyone of line...

Big brother is watching...

Did he pass the medical? If he's that bad, he may not pass...

We have a big extraction fan that starts when the pager interface is activated on an alert tone (lights on, roller door up). can also be manually switched on. It runs for about 10 minutes or until its turned off. It does a pretty good job.

Those people that are saying im going to wear to evey thing should stop trying to make your self appear eletist by trying to stand out. The people that are wearing yellows are still CFS vollies and you are not better than them because you have a BA ticket and thus PBI gold
Pull your heads in!!!!!!

Why do you care so much?
We got paged for a fence fire the other night... Prob a nomex job in your eyes, and it was actually a car under a carport. So if i'd used your advice, i would have to have undressed my nomex, got changed into my PBI (which you probably wouldn't have had with you, then donned BA. By then the garage would be gone, and possibly half the house it was attached to. you never know what your going to. Unless its a grass fire on a hot day, i wear pbi. And i always take both sets of gear to everything just incase.
