Multiple Incident Procedures?<br><br>As I understand it, in order to respond quickly to the next event they eliminate the incident reporting to bare basics. Verbal only, the written component to be done later after the MIPS scenario is resolved.<br>
<br>They will go straight from incident to incident, detouring only for necessaties such as fuel, fresh air bottles etc, although the VSO's will normally be taking care of as much as practical so the likes of air shouldn't be an issue. I think it also invokes someone like the Red Cross organization to provide drinks & refreshments initially then meals if for an extended period.<br>
<br>The fact they are in MIPS implies there was quite a bit of damage down there. What a downer at this time of the year.<br><br>Hope it settles down.<br><br>Regards,<br><br>Neill.<br><br><br><div style="visibility: hidden; display: inline;" id="avg_ls_inline_popup">

Hi Guys,<br>A few times in the last couple of weeks, the Comms centre in ChCh has implemented MIPS (Multiple Incident Protocol System).<br>Can someone that is currently with the Fire Service please define this protocol.<br>
There was no such thing as this when I was in the Fire Service. <br>Reason I ask this is because there has been another decent earthquake in Christchurch and there are pumps all over the place attending to<br>PFA systems that have been triggered by the shaking.<br>
<br>Cheers,<br>Mike T. <br> </div>
