The new site for MFS Seaford is located on Seaford Road adjacent to the old railway overpass.
Sign is now up on the block :wink:

Building Tender now out closing 19th September 2008
Work comprises a single storey steel framed two appliance bay fire station of approximately 860m2 including administration, training, equipment and kitchen areas including all site works. DTEI Prequalification Category 3 and InSkill SA applies.

Single Storey?! No poles!
-
All new stations will not have POLES...Due to OHSW.....

In the East, they put poles IN because of OH&S reasons!
Mind you, not that many 2 storey stations getting around Adeliade these days. :(

Yeh numbers, arent we urban sprawl shockers of the nation?!?!?!
Adelaide Could be Half its Size, How, Think.
Seaford might still be Farms and Country hillbillies if we managed our land development better.

I could even say Happy Valley, might acutally be Green Pastures with Carbon Dioxide producing Cattle! Cow on Road Incidents for ya boys ;)
Area's like Rose Park, Prospect, Goodwood, Woodville...should already have 8-10 story high apartment buildings.
-
8-10 story building, nah, i like my backyard and space, but decent roads would be nice, and maybe a train line for all those down deep south.
-
Haha, like we need to be any more compact.
<shrug> failing to be more compact is slowly bankrupting the state.
Notice too that the lands being built on were the food-producing areas,
while the protected lands are 'natural scrub'... (very clever, that!)
:-P
-
Come up my way guys, there more than enough space.....
-
Been there done that, and no beach.
-
Who needs a beach, weve got a lake, negitive part no waves positive part no sharks.

...Meanwhile, back at the point....

Bye Bye Seafood Pumper! Hope you enjoy having a 34!

On the flip side Seaford, if you fundraise REAL HARD and save REAL HARD over many years , you can have any truck you want! :roll:

CFS Firey, that maybe a correct, that is to say its a known known, but we also know there are known unknowns, that is to say, we know there are things we do not know, but there are also unknown unknowns, the ones we don't know we don't know!
Though in this case I was just once again taking the piss. AAH humour the gift you can give to all, but can only be accepted by a few! :-D
-
Atleast any job that goes to 2 bells in the Seafood area will be handled easily with Seafood Pumper and SAMFS Pumps! ;)
-
How about a Seagrave Quint?
Now we are talking mate!!.. 'Quints' and 'bells'.. Some days you just surprise me numbers.. :p
(Just messing.. Would die for a Seagrave Quint!! :D ) ..
-
I know you guys enjoy stirring reactions and the like, but really, are these comments about the Seaford brigade necessary, or are they going to help in anyway.
It would be great if this forum could stay decent, and become more about fact, not about people stirring scheiße for the sake of it.
Mods, Please note, It would be greatly appreciated by me, and I'm pretty sure everyone else at seaford, if you could either lock this thread, or remove all the rubbish posts that are not based on FACT.

Not all of us have to do a few runs with US Departements to know what we are talking about! ;)

Necessary? YES!
Helpful? NO!
Toughen up! Its all harmless, would you like a tissue?

hahaha well said numbers !!

Happy to moderate if something is identified as hurtful or otherwise inappropriate. If it's meant as light hearted fun then all's ok......
Please let me know if there are specific posts which have caused offence.
Thanks

No slippage here! They're only ever used in a very scathingly sarcastic manner to demonstrate the sheer idiocy of it all! :cry:
-
Haha.. Fair enough..
- I'd still love a Seagrave Quint though.. ;)

Just out of curiosity.
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?
-

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!)

I can't see any issue (apart from outcry from Seafood CFS members) with them being given a 34P and being relegated to Rural/Semi Urban. With multiple MFS stations overing the area that Seafood CFS once had, I see no need for them to exist in their current setup. No doubt they will whinge and moan about it, but in the end it will have nothing to do with community benefit and everything to do with some blokes have their big trucks and jollies taken from them.

I know nothing about what the plans are by those in charge of these things (assuming there are plans of course)... but I don't see it being that much different except they stop going to all the fixed alarms except when MFS need assistance. They will still have the same "rural" area they have now. I see no reason why they would loose their pumper either, I would have thought they have a good argument to keep it (especially since they already have it and are apparently happy with it). Similar position to Morphett Vale, Burnside and Salisbury really, and not too different from many others like Athelstone (or even Victor, Murray Bridge etc) either I would have thought.
-
Pretty much spot on Darius,
Seaford will have a rather small primary response area, but the brigade will no longer be responded to single appliance rubbish bin etc. type fires.
will still be on the page for all incident types that require two or more trucks in "our"(Seaford MFS) area.
rural response will stay the same.
as far as trucks go, I'm pretty sure none of our fireys would argue with HQ giving us a well thought out and well designed Urban/Rural Pumper. But from what i have seen, the most suitable appliance setup for our station is what we have now, although, the Dennis is beginning to show its age.
Pixie
BTW numbers, there is only 1 person who refers to seaford station as Seefood Station, which shows that you are obviously a crank and listen to your scanner way too much!
-

That should definitely help reduce the number of nuisance calls, and build morale for responding to more important calls. Id love to see a paid crew respond to the tree downs in my area. :evil:

How will losing the single truck calls affect your call numbers? Would it be losing 50 calls or 150 calls a year? It does sound good for morale to lose some of the scheiße calls, but do you still get the Alarms at 2am?
You might find that there is more than the ONE person that calls your brigade Seafood CFS. Its not a huge leap in logic from Seaford to Seafood, especially after you meet some of the members. I dare say that I've been calling you Seafood CFS for longer than you've been part of the Brigade. I WISH I could have a scanner to listen to, while I sit in my POV with my RX2700 LED lightbar, Wigwags, and Warrior Dash lights, chasing smoke 24/7, and being a wacker!
-
Meanwhile back on topic the only sign of MFS is the sign on the land where the station is going to be built.
Seaford are quite capable of getting 2 appliances to a job as evidenced yesterday.
We all have our bad days for crewing that goes with the territory :-P
-
I wouldn't say quite capable, we can all eventually get every truck out, depends how long we want to wait and if we want to take a rougue DGO on the truck...I guess you can call that efficient crewing....
I really don't care what they end up doing at Seafood. I just care that my brigade is staffed correctly and gets its trucks out the door with appropriatley trained crews, you can have as many rural helmeted people on the truck as you like, still doesn't help.
By the way pixie, it was nick named Seafood long before you joined the CFS, in fact I remember the day they moved from Saltfleet st we started calling them that..... :lol:
-
I should think Seaford will only remain in C, B and A class responses.
And possibly in some grassfire responses, depending on location/incident type.
-
Ill have to agree with the boys Pixie, when we moved from Pt Noarlunga to Seaford (or food :-D) we got the new nick name. Its some harmless fun. mmmmmm seafood.
-
The Seaford MFS site now has temporary fencing around it and they have begun digging holes / earthworks.
Found some details at http://www.mfs.sa.gov.au/site/about_us/fire_stations/metropolitan_stations/seaford_station.jsp
-
How's the station coming along?
-
coming along quite well, slowly, but from the looks of it it is going to be a pretty nice station!
pretty much all that has been done is the earthworks, and a rather large retaining wall...(the cost of that wall alone would have probably built someone a new truck, or a brand new CFS station)

Good grammar & English must not be a pre requisite for getting into the Army. As long as they can shoot a gun, there will be no need to know how to spell it. :wink:

The driveway was poured today, starting to look like a real station now.
Our info is the December 15th date has been pushed back to early January now as well.
We're looking forward to having some new neighbours and are planning to conduct as much joint training as we can with them.

You mean your looking forward to having some neighbours....

So with the station operational today does that mean Seaford CFS technically now have no area?

*Knickers perhaps??
Perhaps post over a keyboard and a computer, works better than a 16 year old girl's Nokia.
-
From what I understand, the Legislative Responsibility for Zone 83 & BOMS database all changes over to SAMFS on 1/2/2010... up until then I am pretty sure Seaford469 will be responding in place of CDN431/439 to all of out calls...
Station looks good though, and from the sounds of it, looks like we have some great crews from SAMFS that have been stationed there, which should make the transition nice and easy.
As far as appliances go, Seaford will remain as is for the time being.
Can't wait to finally turn out to a job with them.
-
and ya first stop call from them too.... sorry friendly jab, no malice intended :-D
