nope only 87 turned up ....Must start the rescue process if asked by Ambulance Officers on site to do so. they can ask. If the fire SO/captain feels the team is incompetent I would not be starting! In the situations as above if the MVA is in a RFS Area for normal fires incident calls but in a NSWFB ...

421 picton is secondy response if 87 are busy , i just feel for the poor victom who was in the car for 1 hour.

Picton is well within the Wollondilly area.

Rescue 87 was called to a MVA person trapped tonite at wollondilly and it took then 35mins to get on scene-which is not there fault its the goverment-how bad would it be if someone died.

it is still playing there RFS are working with the ACMA to find out what the problem is.

And yes, subscription via fixed tuned radios is common.

These stations have been around for quite a while.
