Most of us will know the ICU as the Incident Control Unit.
Before it was called ICU it was called the MCU... What does the M Stand for?

M = Mobile
...and it we're going to get really picky, it's an ICV now, not ICU. I think ICU's are in hospitals.

Re: The ICV as we know it
Still have MCP's (Mobile Command Post)
eg. The van operated by ROS is designated an MCP

Re: The ICV as we know it
and if we are going to get even picker, ICV stands for Incident Control Vehicle (not incident command vehicle). To make it easy for everyone to remember it is written on the side of the vehicle.

Except for the new FRS ICV, which actually (incorrectly) says "Incident Command" on the sides.observer wrote:and if we are going to get even picker, ICV stands for Incident Control Vehicle (not incident command vehicle).

Re: The ICV as we know it
Northam has an ICV used by the SES and now For fires aswell looks similar to the Iveco above.
we are having a tour of the vehicle in a few weeks so I will try and get some internal photos for here.

Re: The ICV as we know it
The Albany situation is sooooo sad
The City of Albany has an old caravan barely adequate to do the task
FESA Albany has an old ( I think Ford ) van which should have been pushed off a cliff years ago

Re: The ICV as we know it
I have been told that FESA are considering replacing all ICVs in the Perth area. Not sure of exact details, but it is a 5 year plan to replace all FESA and Local Government agencies' ICVs with a uniform, standardised vehicle and fit-out.

Re: The ICV as we know it
with ref to the Albany situation
I mean a really big cliff
the cliff of doom
the cliff of no return
my wish list for such a vehicle
1 HF Codan with switchable antenna, onboard and clark mast type setup
2 separate VHF / UHF radios
1 dedicated VHF marine ( yes I know the WAERNs can do marine )
1 dedicated airband radio
1 of each CB radio ( UHF and 27 meg )
a decent generator set-up
a canvas annex for bigger ops
a portable gas cooker to boil the billy on

Re: The ICV as we know it
Sounds like you haven't actually seen the FESA ICV. It might pay to actually know the facts before you make off the cuff remarks like you did. The current ICV is an excellent IVECO van which I had the pleasure of using at a rather large fire in Mount Barker in March, 2009. The same van is still in use when I saw it at a visit to my Area Manager less than a month ago.floppy wrote:The Albany situation is sooooo sad
