Shane,

Page was meant to say 'Bike Team'....i think anyway! I personally have had issues with the link paging calltakers not sending the correct and accurate dictated information.
Hope that clears it up.

Cheers

'security' is probably not the best way to describe what they where doing. The f/a was setup in the community centre and SES where used to ensure that only the injured where entering to enable the services to perform what they are there do.

You could call it as 're-directing' the public. At no stage did the SES ask to check ID, Physically Handle patrons nor did they have the power to remove persons from this area. If an altercation had occured SAPOL would of been notified and the persons dealt with.

I worked as part of the medical team at New Years and i have to say that SES did an excellent job in some trying conditions.

if you dont wanna get pager messages through the night....turn the filtered off!

I personally would refuse to ride an appliance to a call that came through with only those details.

I personally would not be surprised if a unit/brigade would refuse to even respond. CFS dont have the training to deal with aggressive offenders, they dont have the experience nor the equipment. Questions would definitaley be asked if anything did happen to the crew.

Reading the posts on this forum so far the consensus would definiately be that CFS should not be asked to respond to these types of incidents. What next...snake catching?

Violence at a scene as stated before can involve a variety of things. Comms try and give us as much warning as possible taking into consideration what the caller has stated about the case.
Often if crews have attended the same house address and have found a hazard it is logged in the database and stored until another call comes from the same house. Often if violence or an offender is involved we will wait for SAPOL to arrive and enter with them or we may R/V with them at a nearby location to plan how we will approach the house.
As you mentioned, these type of hazards are an unwanted distraction but with society these days it will just get worse i believe.
