Hey Rob didnt see your float in the parade were you there??
Its a pity none of the CFS brigades from the Gambier group dont participate. I know its in the city but its for the whole community as demonstrated by all the floats from surrounding town schools.

SA Firefighter General / Classic Adelaide emergency response
« on: November 19, 2006, 10:25:40 AM »
Does anyone know what emregency resources are available for this event? I have noticed that CFS brigades have been paged for accidents during this event. There would be some delays getting CFS appliances mobile and then to the actual scene surely. I know a few years ago there were CFS volunteers in rapid intervention type vehicles. Which were 4x4 wagon type cars with hydraulic rescue equipment and extinguishers on board. I dont think this still happens. Owing to the risk of accidents and especially fires during these events both here and interstate you would think they should have some good protection on scene.

SA Firefighter General / ESL good or bad?
« on: November 17, 2006, 06:49:00 PM »
Wondering whether most brigades/SES out there are better or worse off since the ESL? I have noticed a lot of new SES vehicles coming online in the last few years replacing some of the sh** boxes they had. While some CFS brigades like Salisbury received 2 brand new appliances within 5 years which would have been unheard of for them during the old council funding days ( lack of funding in many cases). Any thoughts?

I wouldnt rave about Stirling pumper that thing spends more time in the workshops than the friggin station. There is a good reason the CFS only had one of them made.

All of Burton and Bolivar are in Salisbury CFS response area. The water plant, fibreglass products manufacturers and many other industries. Probably have more urban risk than some brigades that do have urban pumpers.

« on: November 13, 2006, 04:44:24 PM »
Life revolves around who you know not what you know , most CFS people should know that by now. Have a look at the CFS promotions website and look at what appliances some brigades have and look at their risks. Some are definitely better off than others, far better off. But thats life and you dont always get what you want. So its no use crying too much about it.

You would probably build a fire king to survive a burnover to save lives. Quite a few deaths have occurred in forest fires in SA over the years.

They get 4 weeks every 200 days or something like that. Someone else on this list should have better idea.
