What SA Firey said, Jason.

I'm guessing not many use the form then? No wonder we can't get a bigger budget.

Anyone got an electronic copy (or any copy) of the Non Incident Activity Reporting form. My last copy was used without someone photocopying it first.
....Yes! I have tried Region.
Thanks.

Problem solvered.  The modem packed up.  We do have the GRN internet site (with password) to use, but Airsource is easier as the pager ID's are pre programmed.

Is Airsource Pro still able to be used?  I was using at the Station only a week ago but now it won't work.  I need to figure out if the program/software/company is now defunct or I have another PC issue.
Thanks,

OK people.
They were paged at 1447, booked mobile at 1447 and booked clear at 1453.
Are you trying to tell us something Alex? LOL

Meningie CFS do carry rescue stowage.  Rescue has not been 'handed over' to CFS -that is still in the process...hopefully rectified within weeks.

I guess it takes something bad to happen for all this to be fixed quickly.  In the meantime, CFS will continue to pick up the rescue slack in the area.  The system will only be truly tested if Meningie CFS cannot respond as 'rescue'.

SES did not arrive at this job (as rescue). They weren't defaulted either?
3 possible scenarios;

a: They acknowledged and then did not respond.
b: Meningie CFS (34P) is in the system as a dual response rescue.
c: The system didn't work.

Your thoughts....

Thaks for the info on the alarm updates.

Also, this one came to my pager as

MAP:C/102 54,TG 201, ==EAST OF THE NETHERTON EXCHANGE :AIRDESK CNPN19 NETH24 :

This is the complete message from the pager site, so obviously it wasn't sent over two pages.

What's the story here.....Second alarm, third alarm???
There was a previous page sent to update to level 2. Has the operator just used the same response page and forgotten to delete the "Alarm level updated to 2"?

stop from sapol - SES Keith Response
stop from sapol - SES RO
stop from sapol - CFS Coorong Group Officers Response

Is this stop call appopriate? No indication of where it initiated from. No indication of where it's going to. Eg: Coombe are in the initial response but didn't get a stop call. Would this be confusing for Coorong Group Officers? (PS: I can't even see where Coombe got the initial page, but I'm only looking at the paging site).

I believe Safecom is developing a Temp site for web access.  hopefully will hear more soon.



http://www.sagrn-paging.com.au/ still works too...

Need a password for that site.

Can anyone on here program a scanner for me.  It's a UBCT-8. It has been programmed before but now all it seems to do is get stuck and all we hear is white noise.

We have two Remote Area Lighting Systems (RALS) made by Pelican. Rechargable battery that gives up to 14 hours. They have a diffuser so you can use them as a spot or broad beam. Conveniently packed in a hard case on wheels. Easily stowed!

Once mobile they are hardly going to task/divert an appliance to a different job. It is assumed that if you book mobile you will get to the job.  Once job complete, book available so AF can re-task if necessary.

Ah, but if you've booked arrived, then SACAD lists you as at the location of the incident, so if you book available again and a second job occurs nearby you can be sent as the closest available resource...  That's the theory anyway...

SACAD already knows our location...It sent us there in the first place!

SACAD is about resource tracking.  Adelaide Fire don't want to know we have arrived, we have already booked mobile.  Once mobile they are hardly going to task/divert an appliance to a different job. It is assumed that if you book mobile you will get to the job.  Once job complete, book available so AF can re-task if necessary.
PS: I hate the word assme, but it's all I could think of to put in that sentence that would make sense  :wink:

There was an email sent out on Monday from Malim Watts re issues and some valid points as to why the roll over is extended.

Better to extend and get it right than have a half baked response system working at half capacity.

On Twitter but no advice from the CFSAVA to Groups/Brigades. If I didn't see it here I would have never known.
