BART’S FEATURES & HOW THE ONKAPARINGA CFS GROUP USE THE SYSTEM

COMMUNICATION BART’S BEST FEATURE Great communicator that requires minimal input from its users Fire fighters accept or decline via the BART Team App Brigade Officers & Group Duty Officers (GDO) can view numbers responding If more resources are needed, GDO can respond another brigade Example: BART’s assistance in a 2018 Structural Fire Despite plenty of crew responding, we could see that we lacked qualified BA operators The alarm level was upgraded, which resulted in less damage to the house   Prior to a Total Fire Ban Captains send out a pager message asking for crew availability for the following day Crew respond with thumbs up or thumbs down GDO can quickly see response numbers from all brigades
