No different to when we used to run from Unley Centre all those years ago.

And how bad were THOSE response times?? I used to take 4 more calls for the same job before a crew arrived off centre :)

Having said that, more crews around now and most are on the road the majority of the time, so it isnt going to be a major issue. Until some Opposition MP gets hold of it.....

Wasnt Mitcham 50 one of the 11am start SPRINTS? My understanding was that Parkside is going to be a SPRINT/ECP/ex-City station, which would mean that PAR50 would be correct.

I still think it's wrong not to have crews based within the CBD. That extra 3 minutes to get into the city from Parkside could be a difference!

I'm going to take a stab in the dark and suggest that the *EV:XXX* is the case type. Some of the PTS/ESS stuff that has been coming up this morning has TFR in there, so each case type now has a number allocated to it. Taking a lot of learning to read the new data!!

SAAS / Re: IMS Ambulance Services

To be a medical vehicle and be able to use red and blue lights, you have to be able to be registered as an ambulance vehicle.

This means you have to have a certain level of stowage, as well as the authority to be able to operate as such to meet registration (vehicle) requirements. St John pass this under current legislation. Private enterprises at this time do not (hence why they dont have red & blue lights, but I bet there are plenty of spare lens covers sitting in storage somewhere).

As for the Coroner's court, argue all you like. Law is law. I would contend that if we allowed every company to use red & blues, we will have a parade of them up and down King William St every day. Wait till a private company cleans up some poor unsuspecting motorist THEN watch the fireworks in the Coroners Court!

SAAS / St John - Event Patient Transport Vehicle
« on: September 05, 2011, 07:14:06 PM »
Was at the Royal Show on the weekend, and walked past a new St John vehicle, a Fiat van marked up as "Event Patient Transport".

Markings were incredibly similar to SAAS markings, in fact I would hazard a guess that SAAS workshop (or whoever does their livery) did the work on this.

The FIAT was purchased from a Victorian NESP that went bust, and apparantley is the way St John are going. I dont know if that means we will start seeing these vehicles rock up at fires when St John are called in, or they will still use the poxy Dad's Army Transits for that stuff.

For those playing at home, or can muster up any care factor, it sports the fleet number of 180. Even a quick glimpse in the driver cab seems to look like a SAAS fit out.

Country Fire Service / Re: Spot the Chief

He was at the Region 2 IMEX held at Maitland last week. Was even in his own private vehicle (I'm sure there will probably be a petrol claim there somewhere). Stayed for sometime, spent time with the IMT, in the Exercise Control and the Region 2 Ops vehicle (which was functioning as Region 2 HQ for the day).
