4 to 6 minutes might be alright for some brigades but an average turnout time where i live is 8-12mins. And there is nothing we can do about it. Its just the fact that our crews have to travel so far to the station.
I can tell you this even though im very hard to scare the lightning & thunder which just tore through Kalangadoo scared the living day lights out of me as i was worried that it was gonna be accompanied by real big hail or a Tornado like storms that happen during summer & winter
Yeh but how long to refill the aircraft & would we have enough water to fill it without drying the fire mains for a few kilometres around the airport.
Maybe it could be an interesting BWC - eg. all CFS trucks respond to airport to refill water....110,000 litres divided by 3000 litres per truck = 36 CFS truck refils.
ATT. ALL CREW SNAKE ( SMALLISH 3 FOOT ) IN REAR SHED PLEASE TAKE CARE AROUND B.A RACK SS/F GROVE
I say bring it on,ses have 1500 members and some of there units have very bad crewing problems in small towns as do the CFS or MFS or SAAS
Could well have been... He said professional fire-fighter from Melbourne, so I assumed MFB... I guess he could have been from anywhere though....Professional fire fighter - that is CFA, CFS etc - professionalism IS NOT A RATE OF PAY!!!!!!!!!!
I think the Forestry SA Fire Kings would make real good future CFS Appliances but we would have to paint them whiteBugga that - id prefer to drive a tank up the road before I drove one of them onto a fire ground - actually I would like to drive a tank ...... and I have already driven a fire king - nice for inside the forest (less than .1% of our work) so no good to CFS
