"and by the very virtue of its nature, alternating, the AC voltage fluctuates normally" 'alternating' is in relation to the direction of current flow, has nothing to do with the voltage? <-- call that high school teachings (thankyou robbage) btw, it's not up to the attending crew to deter...

Have a listen when we next have a big storm. You'll hear "water in the detector head" quite alot. I'm doubtful that a critical system such as a fire control panel would fall prey to fluctuating AC voltage (and in that case, they all have DC battery backup) that results in erroneous zone a...

the lightning tends to set them off Not true. It's usually water getting into the detectors when we have a big storm. Sorry, it is true. Most of the time it is voltage fluctuations that cause erroneous signals but large fluctuations cause sudden death of the sensors. Water will more likely cause su...

...That was funny... Bassendean turned out to a DBA at Ascot quays apartments. 44 as usual. But on the turnout message, the SO said "6ar Bassendean turning out DBA Ascot "kways" apartments." #-o 6ar's response was a bit more correct, but still wrong #-o . Sometime later when bel...

I don't get the point of it...just like I don't get the point of having FORD or HOLDEN printed across the top of your rear windscreen...who cares what car you drive?

Isn't BA Breathing apperatus, with long duration BA, BA that has larger bottles.

The difference between BA and a MP/HP should now become evident.

I suspect that these decals are just for larger vehicles and vessels. They have been around for some time now.

The patient had his hands behind his back as though he had handcuffs on and the ambulance was facing the oncoming traffic so had gone the wrong way down one side of south street. It was a bit bizarre.

No not that one. No livery except for the round sticker with the crest on it. All the lights were LEDS. Was smaller than the first intervention one, maybe a ford courier type cab and the box was not as large as the first intervention one. I tried to get a pic as when I was heading back the other way...

Its a bit scary that there was such a lack of information and control early on. Remember, that page is only one persons comments and opinions. None of us can judge either way without having been there ourselves. Yes you are correct it is only one person's comments and opinions, and I am relying on ...
