I wonder how bad it was...

Looking at the jobs I would say maybe MV pump

Nah Pumper is out of service for repairs, it was 34.
All are ok though.

Howdy!
Can anyone tell me what a fuel escort involves?

We get around 300 calls per year.
On most day calls, we get one truck out, but at night we can get 2 fully crewed trucks out, have a radio operator, and have about 3-4 people left at the station.

Is that normal?

I have never seen it myself.
I would have thought it still would have had to go through A/F.

They asked the IC of the job if they were required for assistance and they were asked to respond so they did..
Why should they get in the filtered?

Because it is NOT the way the system is meant to work. If the IC needed them he should have made the appropriate request through Adelaide Fire.

By them basically inserting themselves into the job, they have effectively self responded. IMT / Region who are trying to manage the job would have no idea they are even out there. This is the sort of bull filtered that creates issues such as firefighters not getting fed, because catering is suddenly 5-10 meals short. Not to mention if there was another job that needed the 24, and it's not there because it hasnt been booked off accordingly (dont know if they did book off or not).

But I think the donkey whooping might refer more to the pager message itself. Someone is going to get the Chief Officers size 11 firmly implanted in their gluteus maximus for that one.

I agree with this.
I was told that apparently Sturt base requested them, but not through AF.
Just go through official channels.
What if there was an incident in Burnside's area and they dispatched trucks that were at Mitcham...

Now this is awkward...

They are going to have to put some big arse sprinklers here i think, lol

From my count, since 1pm Tuesday, this would be the 6th time Virginia have been sent here. I wonder why it keeps igniting...

My parents got our local brigade to do this to our pool about 15 years ago. the brigade would have been Willunga, or one of the surrounding brigades as we lived in that area at the time...
They did provide a donation to the CFS, was like $100 or something. I was pretty young to remember the excact amount.

Personally, I wouldn't have a problem with emptying pools, but as for filling them up, I am not opposed to it, just not so sure about a few things;
e.g the water costs, and the overall image it portrays to the public who have no idea that the homeowner may have donated to the CFS, and that the CFS are not just doing it because they are mates with the home owner...

Ummm... F-N now hey...?
