Umm yeah, i must say i agree with everyone except Tone 7 or Linc24p or whoever you are...
Over the years i have been to roughly 5 of these jobs, all have been a priority 2 response and none we have walked away thinking it was a waist of time.
The last one i went to was a person with a respiritory desease and due to being unable to leave the house and hardly able to walk called us.
The one before that was an elderly lady at 2am who didn't know what the beeps meant so called the fire brigade who told her it was a flat battery and she would need to change it, unfortunatley her husband was bed ridden and hooked up to a life support machine and she would have probably killed herself if she had have attemted it herself so Comms sent us out which is fair enough.
The other thing is 99% of people think they have a paid fire service in their town that are waiting to do this sort of thing and are very appologetic when learning otherwise.
Also if you are from Pt lincoln then PumpRescue has been to alot more jobs than you ever could in Pt lincoln and could also make your apparent problem with heirachy alot worse if you dont watch the way you talk to people.
