K55 - i believe the first issue was with a defective engine from Hino, replaced under warrantee??? The second issue was with the CAFS, whoever designed it failed to include the switchy thingo that enables you to select how dry the foam should be.... not sure what its called.... changes how much air enters the system.... now these issues are fixed its definitely a great little truck.... why CFS dont pick it up and use as a good urban/rural appliance is beyond me, would be much better to issue to adelaide hills brigades than these new gargantuan 34s and 34ps...

Im pretty sure it doesnt matter, as far as im aware there is no real standard for boots... just a requirment for structure boots to be fitted with steel or reinforced toe caps...

« on: April 14, 2008, 01:26:49 PM »A classic example of them not all being FALSE eh
Also a classic example of someone ringing 000, and the fire service being responded anyway
Except for the fact that barker had a two minute jump on it... im sure most people on here realise that 2 minutes can make a major differance.
Personally ive been to countless false alarms... ive also been to several AFAs that were going fires. The falsies are annoying, but its part of the job, get over it or get out.
Dont forget there are ways of dealing with alarms that are constantly malfunctioning... I think youll find though that most activate for a reason.

nomex is only level 1 until you introduce a liner...
a combination of PBI & nomex would not meet any standard at all, and asides from looking daft wouldnt achieve much i shouldnt think. i would be slightly concerned about it not filling the criteria of 'correct ppe' and the possible implications it would have on any workcover claims, oh/s issues, etc

Just saying, someone like this doesnt need encouragement, they need a reality check, and if he such a bad opinion of the MFS, perhaps he should try elsewhere.

and yet Bill, if your melting it, the fact remains that it shouldnt have been left there. Ive used plenty of differant kinds of hose and plenty of differant types of jobs.... havent melted a hose thus far.
however i have had hoses, both canvas & duraline/nylon blow for whatever reason...

« on: March 19, 2008, 09:02:37 AM »
the coulsons contract was only for a few months, the helitaks went home when it expired [after being extended once or twice...]
an aircrane is nice and dandy, and looks fantastic on the front page of the 'tiser or screaming across your telly at home on the 6 o'clock news...
but imagine if the same money for an aircrane contract, was spent on an extra 6 (i have been told it would work out to roughly) air tractors.... meaning the ability to station more aircraft on the LEP & LSE and another 2 'spares' in the MLR.
My dream would be;
4 Air Tractors on the LEP (currently 2)
4 Air Tractors in the LSE (currently 2), perhaps 2 at Naracoorte, 2 at Mt Gambier
6 Air Tractors in the MLR (currently 4 during the peak of the season), perhaps 4 at Woodside, 1 at Cherry & 1 at Mt Crawford...
Now that would make a much bigger differance than one aircrane that would struggle to work outside of the Adelaide Hills, due to fuel usage & water availability.
But ill just have to keep dreaming.

just one thing..
if we go to ONE talkgroup for acknowledgements and mobilisations of resources.. then what happens when everyone statewide is monitoring it and we start to get some action... first few transmissions, and every tower statewide will load up and crash the system.
wasnt this one of the problems that came out of the wangary fires?
