I remember reading somewhere (maybe that article) that they had hundreds of similar calls at the same time. Must be a tough job making the decision about who to prioritise.
Limited resources being overwhelmed = greater possibilty for fatal mistakes.
A great point! i think it was under the other post about the floods. I feel sorry these people doing this job handling all sorts of calls all hours of the day/night but if we say its ok for them then we must remember the horror these people must have gone through knowing they could be killed so what did they do they made a run for it once again being overwhelmed=greater possibilty for fatal mistakes/error of judgment. Its darn hard at times but nine times out of ten the coin can be turned for the same reasoning.

| when the floods were on we went back with a jetski and put food from the freezers in eskies and bought them back to shore. as we were putting the jetski in the water someone came up to me and told me not to go fast because we'd create a wave and water would go inside the house, I looked at this person and told him we are only going to idle and not out for a joy ride.. then he tells me he knows the people who own the house and if we make a wave and water goes in the house he will call the owner and let them know... i just looked at him and told him to F&^% OFF.. he has no idea who lives there or he'd know it was my place...with that my neighbours burst out laughing... I know he meant well...
