Huh, it's right on the boundary, Virginia are just having a cry....mongsWell i suppose if they (MFS) are claiming the RAAF base fence as their boundary it would be but no.
AGAIN nothing wrong with system, just the data in it, fix that and it will work.Getting it fixed is a problem in itself.
Looks like w plains group struggling for crews. Still no media so I wonder if it's actually as bad as the response messages make it lookNah theres no media cause the MFS arent there.
Are you sure, they must be displayed privately because not seen them displayed over the urgmsg.net site in ages. Thanks anywayYou mean these?
Must have been extremely unconfortable in those tents during the day, especially friday.
It made a long day to. We didn't get into the awesome tents until 11-12 that night.
I'm pretty sure those brigades wouldnt have put that sort of response down? I did notice some really bizarre responses early on in SACAD like CFS going to out of the ordinary places where available MFS appliances would be closer?Just remember the responses are nothing to do with the people in Adelaide Fire, each agency has set up its own responses using brigade and group response plans, all Adelaide Fire do is hit send.
So who's done the responses for the EMA areas (such as those examples above)?
Lodge a written grievance to Gary Bau. In time SACAD will be good but it will take time to get all the info and responses correct in the system.I suppose its up to the individual brigade to lodge the grievance, but the response does seem a bit excessive, even if it is CFS area. But if its anything like pre-sacad issues forms, it will just fall on deaf ears.
So I can keep dreaming about being actually able to tackle plantation and vineyard fires effectively and quickly?Like you get them every day?
Same job in MFS area doesnt even attract that much attention.MFS: *CFSRES INC0139 18/12/11 22:03 RESPOND STRUCTURE DOMESTIC, LOT 13 HUXTABLE RD WATERLOO CORNER,MAP:ADL 50 A 8,TG 102, ==SPARKS FROM JUNCTION BOX UNDER CARPORT, CNR SHORT RD. :ELZ331 ELZ339 SAL321 VIRG19 :
Wow, what a massive case of over-kill.
Better to be safe than sorry. If indoubt turn them out
EMA response plan gone wrong by the looks...
MFS: *CFSRES INC0042 16/12/11 10:16 RESPOND GRASS FIRE, MAWSON RD CHERRYVILLE,MAP:ADL 123 C 3,TG 140, ==IN VICINITY OF TRACK 9. REPORTED SMOKE FROM AIRCRAFT == Alarm level updated to 2 ==ADDED FOR G/O KIESSLINGDoes anyone actually know what he was doing? I did see at one stage a page for a Salisbury MFS appliance added to this call, and if i recall even Strathalbyn 34P?
Lol well outside his realm, heard over the radio he was trying to get lofty almighty team in before the 2nd alarm arrived.... Probably get Norton Summit, Summertown, Oakbank/Balhannah & Cudlee Creek in first....
I'll take option c.QuoteMFS: *CFSRES INC0040 13/12/11 14:46 RESPOND ROAD CRASH RESCUE P1 68 PRINCES HWY MENINGIE MAP:SMN 1 J 4,CALLER: ==4 CARS. OUTSIDE SWAN FARM MACHINERY :MEN29 MENG34P :
SES did not arrive at this job (as rescue). They weren't defaulted either?
3 possible scenarios;
a: They acknowledged and then did not respond.
b: Meningie CFS (34P) is in the system as a dual response rescue.
c: The system didn't work.
Your thoughts....
Someone must hate East Torrens even more than Sturt.I thought the operator had no input, it was all done by the information that was supplied?
It also included a page for Cherry Gardens (CHRY34)
Corrected shortly thereafter to Cherryville (CHVL24)
Would that be database or operator error?East Torrens strike team ended up with Mudla Wirra 24 & Mallala 22 on the page.
More interesting since Mallala 22 ceased to exist over 2 years ago!

So we get a crew deck, but have nowhere to put our BA, salvage sheets and other urban type gear that we carry........?Wasnt there something like a 44 appliance considered some time ago? Seem to remember it being discussed but obvioulsy nothing came of it. Maybe something like this?
We need to build appliances that suit the area they are stationed - I personally think there should be rural 44 appliances in places like the West coast / Eyre Peninsula, and 24's, minus the crew deck, in places like the Adelaide Hills.
I am all for standardisation - BUT standardisation should not mean one size fits all (cos it can't, and it doesn't!)

So.. go live is just under three weeks away.Not a cracker as yet, but what amazes me is ask a MFS officer about SACAD and they know little or nothing about it.
Have any groups or brigades received official direction from the CFS about new requirements for resource tracking? SACAD will require appliances statewide to book ack, mobile, arrived and clear of call. Wondering if this info has been disseminated, and if not when it will?
Perhaps something brigades should have been getting into the swing of for the last few months.
Is it just me or does them asking you at 1800hrs for an 0800hrs start tomorrow for a 5 day trip seem abit unreasonable??At least its not an 1800 hrs ask for a 2000 hrs start or a you have to go in 1/2 an hour.
