Hooking up to compressor/air systems would solve the problem.
A small cost to set up, however alot better for your health.

SA Firefighter General / Re: Could you afford to volunteer when fuel is $2 plus per litre ?
« on: July 28, 2008, 09:25:11 AM »
Out here, unleaded is the best part of $1.90/L. Premium unleaded hovers between $1.98 and $2.02/L and diesel has been around $2.10+/L for some time now.
Responding to stations is one thing, but for those who respond over great distances, the cost is starting to soar!.. The weekly $$$ often spent on fuel (especially out here) is phenomenal!

We have STAR, Rescue Paramedics (SOT), the SES with their Vert Rescue teams..
No, I dont personally think we need a private / outsourced 'team' for it.

Country Fire Service / Re: Fire Trucks/Appliances
« on: July 14, 2008, 05:22:46 PM »Hi 49194,
The training director informed me that we had actually done training for another site... not at the Woomera site.
Sorry for the F up.
And from the contingency plans i have seen on numerous occasions in areas of overlapping responsibility the MFS and CFS coodinate and work as one unit. (correct if i am wrong)
The Woomera contract comment was in regards to there being no MFS station at Woomera, and that there is MOU between CFS and Woomera EFS.
Once again the third comment is out of context, that comment was made in regard to a comment someone made that the MFS is not everywhere and i said of course the MFS is not all the way out in the country... in regards to there not being a MFS station in the country (and i mean hawker, burra, penola, kangaroo island)
read the context of a comment, then make your own comment. thanks
It is difficult to read and understand ones context, with so many contradictions and incorrect statements.
That is all I will have to say on this matter, I just wanted to point out the incorrect information which was said in regards to Woomera Emergency Services.

SA-Private Contractor.
I am a Firefighter / Ambulance Officer from Woomera Emergency Services.
Unless you are apart of SAAS, or Fire and Rescue Australia - (who supply training in some of our technical course requirements), then I am very interested to know who you are, and what you have apparently 'trained people in' up here before.
1. - Woomera Emergency Services (Or as it was known in the early days, the Woomera Fire Brigade) have been around since the 50's when Woomera and the WPA started operations. - Currently, we come under operation through BAE-Systems Australia. (They have had the WCSC since 2001, - previously it was Australian Defence Industries). BAE Systems have the contract from Dept. of Defence (DOD) to supply Estate services support, Operations-which the Emerg. Serv. come under - and a whole lot of other things...
Part of the Defence contract relating to emergency services, states there must be a full emergency service present to support and cover the Woomera township (commonwealth land, and the WPA). - Hence why we are here. - We have MOU's in place to assist the state (local areas/towns/highway on state land) in times of need.. However operations / duty and coverage in the town, must come first.
There are seperate MOU's and Protocol inplace for the work we do on the Highway in a medical sense (Have travelled hundreds of K's for jobs before). - But that has little to do with this thread.
So in summary..
Your comment: The Woomera contract only exists cause the CFS don't have MFS backup. - Is Wrong!
Your comment: Anyway i guess if the cfs get up filtered creek they always got the mfs. - Is also wrong.
Your comment: Its kinda obvious that there is not a MFS station in the sticks and that it is the CFS area of responsibility. - In regards to Woomera, is totally incorrect. We are a fulltime service, in the "sticks", here to support and serve the DOD. The CFS' responsiblilty out here is the Highway (state land), and all other state land just like any other brigade. - Which does not include the Woomera Township, WPA or commonwealth infrastructure. . .
