Thread: Welcome to the volly room

We have no choice our crew is that small we can't pick and choose

How many? We usually only have the chance of six during the day as most of our team head into town for work.
It'll be interesting once drugs are on the truck, looking forward to it........ Nervously

Don't swear
NZFS but yes we are rural and cover a big area with a reasonably busy highway.

I didn't think you could go with a short crew, I don't know the rules around that sort of thing.
My old man is in a rural fore force on the other side of town, they often have to go alone

Na we need 2 at least.
Nothing to stop us responding in our own vehicle with the kit and radio

Aloud to go as long as you advise that your short crewed is that correct? I'm not high up enough to know but thought I heard that somewhere

I don't know either, every time I ask a question like that I seem to get as many different answers as people I ask haha

Yeah not sure. We are very lucky have about 26 members and usually about ten during the day that can turnout

That must be nice. We have around 17 total but only potentially six day time. Lucky e only have around sixty calls a year

I've been told we can, right or wrong I don't no, we often go short and co respond with another crew.

Yeah, All we can do is what the officers tell us, their ass at the end of the day

Full crew is officer + 3 BA wearers. Anything less is short crewed when responding in your truck.
We have a operational support van used for medicals. Minimum of two. One must be a class 1 or 2 ERD. Medical 1st responders (this is a rank) are PHEC trained.
Brads - be cautious responding on your own. This is for yours and the patients safety.
Turning out in your own car opens a whole lot of legal issues if something goes wrong. Hard to sit on the station and not do anything.

Did station checks this morning.
Here is our old girl, you guys with laugh
