NSW Rural FD - SCBA SOP - interesting

Very interesting - there are 2 major fire agencies in NSW Australia.
FRNSW has paid fulltime firefighters and paid on call firefighters who
operate structural pumpers, rescue trucks, aerials, and hazmat trucks.
They operate in the cities and towns. The NSW RURAL Fire Service has
volunteers who operate mostly bushfire trucks. But some of the Rural
fire brigades (rural fire stations) do have SCBA and turnout gear -
apparently these are the "Village 2" stations. (per the following
info)

(b) Unless approved otherwise by the relevant Regional Operations
Manager, BA shall only be supplied to brigades with a 'Village 2'
classification under Standards of Fire Cover.

(c) BA shall not be acquired for offensive structural firefighting
purposes unless a personal issue of a full kit of offensive
firefighting protective clothing and equipment is provided to all
relevant BA Operators (BAOs).

(d) Any major firefighting vehicle carrying BA in a brigade must: (i)
carry at least two BA sets, two spare cylinders and a BA Control
Board, (ii) carry all BA sets located in a manner that enables safe,
easy and rapid donning, (iii) be able to carry at least 1500 litres of
water available for firefighting, (iv) be able to provide two attack
hoselines, each 90 metres long and fitted with a fog nozzle with a
flow rate of at least 250 l/min at 700 kPa, using a static water
supply; (v) be able to obtain water through a 65mm hose from a hydrant
up to 90 metres away, (vi) be able to obtain water from an open source
directly into the main pump, and (vii) provide a range of tools and
equipment to enable associated forcible entry, lighting, ventilation
and salvage activities to be conducted. (Note: The above does not
preclude supplementary BA sets being carried on lighter firefighting
vehicles in the same brigade or district.)

(e) Sufficient BA sets shall be acquired such that at least four sets
are likely to be available for use in the first response to a typical
structure fire in BA-equipped brigade areas.
