Remove that front part and that thing would work a treat on the hill at Adelaide oval, chuck in a blow up pool and 40deg days at the one day games would never be the same.

Country Fire Service / Re: Turnout Confirmation
« on: September 06, 2008, 09:08:59 AM »
We run an emergency callout system here at work. We ring a 1800 number request a turnout of off duty ESO and ERT members, the call centre hits a button and every member on that list gets a phone call with a recorded message saying emergency response required, then all the person has to do is press the matching option ie 1 am attending, 2 delayed etc. If the person doesnt answer there phone a text is sent with options to follow.
The whole process between the first call to the 1800 No. to the person sending a response is 1 min. When then can get a report back indicating response numbers, allowing us to determin if external assistance is required.

the aircrane can come help mop up any day thanksYep the
air tractors do all the work and are quicker to get airborne and launch an air strike on a fire before it gets out of hand
I still think the baggyarses on the ground do the most and the best work...
Couldnt agree more numbers....

Country Fire Service / Re: CABA BMI
« on: August 29, 2008, 03:53:25 PM »
The problem with BMIs is that they differ from people to people regarding results, for instance i have a BMI of 32 but i don't have a gut and a slimish upper body BUT i have big legs from running, footy etc. Your body weight could be distributed over different areas not just your guts. Personally i think occupational therapists should be doing the medicals.

Unless there are two forum members on here who write long lower cased un-punctuated paragraphs & sentences, have fecal vomit problems and believe that they are getting the rough end of the stick by the associated emergency service.

All Equipment discussion / Re: Oxygen & AED stowage
« on: August 22, 2008, 07:45:18 PM »Tongue in cheek buddy
Anything is better than nothing, but having seen the results of some Snr. 1st aid refreshers I'd imagine that a little help to make things go a little smoother would be fantastic!
Compressions on the stomach, 2 compressions 15 breaths, 1 compression every few seconds, things like this can be sorted out with a little help.
Ah right, long day underground, But your right about the first aid refreshers some interesting interpretations of CPR out there.

« on: August 22, 2008, 02:47:45 PM »$1500-$2500ish for Phillips Brand.BAH! Phillips makes Walkmans and Steros, not life saving technology. I want to save someone, not make them play a tune.
The Zoll for $2995.95, you get:
* Not pushing hard enough? It will tell you when to push harder.
* Pushing hard enough? It will say, "Good compressions."
* Not pushing fast enough? A metronome will lead you to the right rate.
* It will even show you the depth of each compression. In real time.
* Not yet started? The AED Plus will tell you again to get started.
* Compressions stopped? It will tell you to continue.
As well as all your usual AED funtions. In my book, anything that needs to be used by CFS volunteers, needs to be as simple and retard proof as possible - If its going to be used outside of Region 1 that is
So id suggest you stay away from something like the zoll brand then. The phillips AED is full proof and doesnt overload you with instructions like some AEDs, aslong as your doing some form of compressions its better than doing none. If you have senior first aid you should know how to do cpr properly. Phillips also make the MRX defibs that SAAS carry.
It would be a huge plus for an appliance to carry O2 & AED and they WILLsave someones life one day whether it be a FF or member of the public will remain to be seen.

Fire Fighter Training / Re: CFS Courses
« on: August 15, 2008, 09:11:02 PM »
Correct we are fairly well populated, but we struggle for numbers (we wish we had numbers (the person)
). Mooka is 30mins, Woomera is 50 & but we can call on the BHP ESOs for extra crew. There structure jobs i have had to go to at Mooka & Glendambo have been as Jaff said Broom and shovel priority one for slab clearance.
The respond to isolated/remote structure fires course is really just about fighting fire in structure that is by its self ie no exposures, you still go through the same topics, arrival, entry, firefighting techniques etc etc. Its really just a basic structure fire cause, no CFB, Tact Vent etc.

SAPC you obviously don't have a clue. If you think the guys on hear are just some hacks hanging about on the net you are very mistaken my friend. Id suggest you start getting your facts straight instead of dribbling the fecal diarrhea you have been dishing up. Sorry had to be said.
