My point was that the color of the appliance shouldnt matter if it is a resource that can be utilised.

SA Firefighter General / Broadband/ADSL
« on: November 26, 2006, 08:01:15 PM »
Just wondering if there were many stations out there who are hooked up to broadband? I know there are some that decided to do it so that they could look up weather reports etc online during incidents for about the same cost as having a dedicated line for dial up. Also sends pager messages quicker I believe as it doesnt have to dial up.

Only the alarms that we dual respond with CFS to are set up to say CFSRES on the end to go off as tone 7. So I set my pager on tone 7 for all messages. We dont get many admin messages so its the price I pay to make sure the pager wakes me up at night.

Only the pager messages (for MFS) that are pre-fixed by MFS: are despatched from MFS comms in Adelaide. The ones that start with Primary Alarm or Secondary Alarm are received by the Alarm Setup on the computers in the stations.

Appliances with a prefix 7 were just medium 2wd appliances with water. Although the old state hazmat was called Burnside 71 or State 71 or something even though it didnt carry water. Stirling 12 was Stirling 71 too I think but it wasnt Hazmat.

Yes 24p you were on the money. The first number in the call sign identifies the type and the second number is less important. For example in the Lofty group Stirling used the 1 as the second number for their appliances while Bridgewater used 2 and etc. While Brigades like Mt Barker went sort of in size ie 51,52,73,74,25.
The 25 was a command vehicle with no water.

Retainers have to live within 10 minutes travelling time of the station. You have to pass a screening process which includes
-Police check
-Short numeracy and literacy test
-Panel interview
-Physical aptitude test (differnt from pat1/2)
-Medical

All Equipment discussion / Re: Dedicated Rescue Appliances
« on: November 24, 2006, 04:49:03 PM »
I remember the old days back in the late 80`s when any mva in the Adelaide Hills involved a fleet of vehicles being responded. MFS rescue appliance would be responded to any MVA`s within 40 km of their boundary as well as SAPOL road accident rescue unit and of course the local CFS/SES rescue appliance. Resulted in a bottle neck of vehicles at every prang. Took a while for the message to get accross that many CFS brigades by then had quite adequate rescue equipment and didnt need all that help from Adelaide. Of course government departments take time to make changes,lol.

SA Firefighter General / CFS Act
« on: November 19, 2006, 08:36:34 PM »
I heard recently from an unreliable source that the CFS Act is no longer valid due to the formation of SAFECOM. But CFS are now covered by a different act. Does anyone know about this?
