SA Firefighter General / Black Tuesday book
« on: January 04, 2008, 03:55:49 PM »
I also got this for x-mas, good read. It covers an independent review, estimated losses, satellite imagery, main stories from people affected by the fire and articles, letters and reports.
I'm not sure where it is available to purchase but the editor is Helen Proude and the ISBN number is 0-646-46787-5

SA Firefighter General / Helmet Camera
« on: January 04, 2008, 02:57:33 PM »
Does anyone else have one?
I just got mine for x-mas but havn't taken it to a job yet.
For people interested in buying one you can get them from a few different places. Ebay, http://www.firehelmetcam.net/ or http://www2.oregonscientific.com/shop/browse.asp?cid=6&scid=14
After buying mine of Ebay and modifying a torch clip to suit (which took ages). I would say the best bet is to buy the full kit of firehelmetcam.net to save the hassle. Though I'm not sure how well their camera mounts suit our helmets, may need to be bent a little bit to suit the right level of view.
Here's some pics for people interested and theres also a video. The quality though is reduced and all 'blocky' (You tube thing), don't mind the audio alot of wind noise.

Country Fire Service / Train/tram crossings
« on: September 06, 2007, 08:35:44 PM »
Are there any official rulings on crossing a leveling P1 once the boom gates/lights have operated?
Just crossed my mind today as we don't deal with any crossings in our area.

We now have the keys to the Dennis, but it will not be operational for a few weeks for fire calls until everyone knows how to use it. So far I like it.

Country Fire Service / Clayton CFS (cab curtains)
« on: January 25, 2007, 07:21:27 PM »
Did anyone else happen to read the article in The Times (Victor Harbour) paper about Clayton CFS? Seen as im still on sick leave I've decided to type it up!
"Vital donation to Clayton CFS"
The Clayton Community Association donated $1045 to the Clayton CFS for a Thermo Gaurd Fire Curtain (heat reflective blinds) to the trucks cab.
This will help protect the volunteers in the cab from potential and severe harm.
The Clayton Community Association is also giving all the proceeds from the Australia Day Breakfast to the CFS towards a cabin deluge system (water spray) over the truck's cabin.
"Because of unavailable funds, CFS Region 1 refused to supply these important health and safety initiatives, which would fully protect our local voluteers and because we are in such a horrific fire season, the CCA decided to help protect our local CFS volunteers," A CCA Management committee member said.
"The income from our bottle depot at the back of the Community Hall, has allowed us to have the funds to help the CFS," Mike Galea CCA President said.
"It's all part of country towns like ours pooling their resources. This together with the community helping with recyclable bottles and cans is very important fundraising for the activities we want to do," he added.
Now I thought all CFS appliances would come with Fire blankets? Or atleast Group/region would be providing balnkets to trucks to meet a saftey level?
