SA Firefighter General / Delays Between Emergency Services
« on: February 20, 2013, 11:15:44 AM »

Whilst this is from NSW it appears to have a number of similarities with the delays I have seen with responding any rescue/fire appliance to an RCR when SAAS have been responded. I can only hope that SA can get their system sorted out.

Country Fire Service / Salisbury 34?
« on: July 14, 2012, 09:33:32 PM »
I thought Salisbury's 34 went to Owen when Salisbury received their 34P. Or have Salisbury received another 34? If so where did this 34 come from?

Country Fire Service / RCRRD Standards
« on: January 28, 2011, 12:47:47 PM »
Does anyone know if there is an online copy of the RCRRD standards available?

I am assuming that it stands for Road Crash Rescue Response Directory( or Document). Happy to be corrected.

Thanks in advance

Country Fire Service / Incident Stats
« on: September 16, 2010, 09:56:54 PM »
Last season's Incident Stats have been uploaded to http://www.fire-brigade.asn.au/news_display.asp?HeadLine_ID=862

Are these stats used for anything like funding or allocation of equipment etc?
Or are they purely for information only?

Are descrepancies between brigades figures and HQ figures the norm or the exception? Looking at my own brigades figures over the last couple of years they  differ on average between 15%-20%, always with the brigade figure higher. Are some types of calls not counted?

Cheers

All Equipment discussion / Government Auctions - Ex CFS Appliances
« on: July 09, 2010, 10:45:02 AM »
Noticed a couple of ex CFS appliances go through the goverment auctions in the last couple of weeks.
Prices for the Hino's varied betwwen $10k & 14k.
A Ford Trader (I assume it used to be Upper Sturt 12 - could be wrong?) went for $6,000.

Is this pretty much all that they are worth?

An Acco & Isuzu are up this week. http://www.auctions.sa.gov.au/catalogue.php?display=bycategory

Country Fire Service / Paging - Which Appliance(s) is Required?
« on: April 12, 2010, 03:48:13 PM »
When a brigade with a specialist appliance eg BWC (42), Hazmat (28) are responded via paging how do they work out what to send?
For example if Belair are responded and the pager message ends with BELR42, is this only requesting the BWC? Do they also send a general purpose appliance as well? Or should this be responded on a BELR00 message?

This is not directed at Belair as I am only using them as an example. Stirling, Bradbury, Kangarilla, Summertown etc could all have been used.

Country Fire Service / GO/DGO/Duty Officer Responding to Incidents
« on: March 09, 2010, 01:25:47 PM »
Is there a standard procedure for GO's/DGO's/DO's responding to incidents?
Is one of them required to respond to each incident that a brigade is responded to in their group? Or do they choose whether they respond or not?

Some incidents I attend one will respond other times none. Its not unusual to see a Group car respond P1 past the station and be the first arrival. (tree down, RCR etc) Who then is the IC? First responder or first appliance responder?

What is the expectation or procedure?

Country Fire Service / OPS Support
« on: November 19, 2008, 08:26:11 PM »
Do most/all brigades have an Ops Support?

What do Ops Support do at most brigades?
What sort of support/assistance do they provide to your brigade?
Is it financial, physical, admin???

I would be interested to hear......

All Equipment discussion / Auto vs Manual Transmissions
« on: October 30, 2008, 12:19:48 PM »
I understand that some of the new trucks are coming with Auto transmissions. (this is in addition to the ones the CFS already have)

What are peoples opinions or preferences on Auto vs Manual?
Are there advantages or disadvantages with either?

All Equipment discussion / Cleaning of Appliances
« on: July 04, 2008, 12:18:30 PM »
What are people's recomendations/tricks for cleaning appliances?  What do you use?
Have heard a bit about CT18 truck wash. Is this any good?
How often do you polish the bodywork? What do you use?
What do you use to blacken the tyres?
What do find best for the windows?  (pet hate of mine!!! Dirty windows when driving GGGRRRR!!!!)


I have seen Morphetvale and Mt Barkers recently and both are a credit to their brigades. I'm sure there plenty of other good ones around.

SA Firefighter General / Paging Delays???
« on: May 14, 2008, 05:55:49 PM »
Why is that there appears to be a delay in paging the CFS to an incident, particularly RCR? Usually appears to be around 5 min delay between SAAS being paged and then CFS.
Or is it just the way the paging website works?
