Not when its in MFS area..How do you know that a quick phone call wasnt made to the CFS station saying "hang around fella's, a lot of our resources committed"? Listening to the jobs going down they were on the road pretty much straight away after the page.
Do you think MFS respond CFS into their area, and not turn out their own trucks, on the hope that CFS will crew?
yeah you got a point there, 202 (in maybe oakdens area) was also enroute to the MVA it sounded.Speaking to someone from Salisbury, the only MFS appliance that attended was Oakden 301 only to drop off some more adsorbent, and then they left.
Where on the page does it say 1 truck? I thought when CFS are paged they are paging the brigade? So if the likes of Mt barker get paged for a house fire and MTBK19 comes up they only should send 1 truck to it?? So youre with Salisbury MFS then?3rd alarm and salisbury cfs not called!!!!!
Because every time we ask for 1 Salisbury CFS truck we end up with 3, if we ask for 1 send 1, not the 34 and the regional spare !!
agreed at times there may be an over response from CFS into MFS area, however you also need to remember that CFS operates differently to MFS due to crew having to respond to the station.For example MFS call for assistance from CFS appliance, urban area, first CFS appliance rolls within 4 mins but only has 2 BA, 1 OIC and driver with no BA, 2 mins later CFS roll second appliance once other BA crew arrive at station.once on scene the 4 BA crew become one team and the second truck you have on scene is available to run to another incident should one occur. so yes you have more than 1 CFS appliance however the second appliance is ready to run and has been used to ensure the MFS upgraded incident has the appropriate CFS personal on scene.
Sigh, 1 truck, that means 1 truck, not sure what other language you want that in...your just creating parking hassles....if you don't have enough crew to start with don't go, we don't actually count CFS...your a bonus. Next time I respond with my CFS brigade I think I might take all 3 trucks to give the lads a go, if some guys that live further out haven't worn BA in a while I might get them to come along to later, just to give em a go.
No wonder we have trouble being taken seriously when we are doing our CFS duties.
We wear to everything except rural and hazmatWhy wouldnt you wear it to a hazmat? Youre not a hazmat brigade so it wouldnt be a problem
do we get a choice about having a fridge or seat?choice of 4 bucket seats or 3 and a fridge. Thats on the newer model isuzus 800 series,
whats the matter? didn't pass the beep test? didn't pass the personality test.How did you pass the personality test? Did you get someone to do it for you?
Though Burnside would have fitted better.yeah we will now have a CFS station in the city with a 34p and a 14 or mabey a QAv??
Don't be mean! Salisbury need more trucks than that!
Whatever,Nice short article.....So who will run it........Hopefully not the MFS.
Nice looking appliance but not good for a running grass fire..........Well what are you going to do when you get yours? I assume it will be your 1st response rural truck?
sorry i correct my self its in the north west in the aboriginal landsMight want to re-correct yourself its about 70k from Broken Hill just over the SA border.
Just out of curiosity.Dunno, no-one seems to have a hard and fast answer to that one(or they are going to say). Dont know how they are going to go with the MFS station only about 500? metres up the road. One would think* that they would perhaps as someone eluded to be downgrades to a 34? or 34P. Time will tell (or someone else will!)
will seaford still have an area as such? or will they only respond to upgraded jobs with mfs or large rural fires in the district? or will they disband altogether?
what trucks will they have?
Or a brigade that doesnt really have an area?
On a second reading, I believe you are correct. No use getting a truck for a brigade based on the risk in someone elses area, and the fact that it "Might" get used. Jesus, all the aerials in SAMFS might get used, I think we need one, JUST IN CASE!
I think it was mentioned somewhere on here thats exactly why a certain brigade should get a certain new truck wasnt it?
I can't wait to see CoQ used as the basis of an argument to get a new truck.
What I was meaning was that Belair was closer to MFS HQ or Glen Osmond, not the job at Salisbury.
Belair was COQ'd to 22 Glynde though, so bittenyakka's point about Norton summit being closer still holds true...
Back to the original topic though - is there any more news on the incident itself? I'm assuming it's all been cleaned up now?
quite often safer to open windows/doors at the back of the building to ventilate rather than run the risk of clambering around on the roof during a fire.. especially if you have a fan. Obviously different jobs have different needs..Yes but do the CFS have a training course in place for the effective use of fans? (Or the MFS for that matter?)
