Yep. MIPS was called by the dispatcher at 22:10 hrs.<br>
<br>
Personally, I would have done it about 5 hours earlier, but they did
finally get around to it.<br>
<br>
Now, I love vollies. I truly do. They give up a heck of a lot to
do the job, and I appreciate it. I'm not paid staff, just a radio
listener.<br>
<br>
However. I really felt like strangling some of the country boys who
seemed to want to give their entire life stories on the channel when
things were going to hell. I don't think that any of them seemed to
hear MIPS. Which was only called once, and not followed up on,
which was another mistake IMHO. Things would have run a tiny bit
better if they had told the storytellers to keep it to a minimum.<br>
<br>
So. Perhaps a couple of lessons to be learned. The channel was
pretty much out of control last night, being busier than any Guy
Fawkes in recent memory.<br>
<br>
My thoughts: Call for MIPS early, and enforce it if necessary. And
maybe pop a memo in the post for training nights to all emphasising
what it's all about, and how it benefits YOU by having a clearer
radio if you need help..<br>
<br>
If anyone had gotten into trouble last night, I think they would
have had trouble getting through on the radio.<br>
<br>
Just my 2c.<br>
<br>
Oh, and shoutout to Steve Austin!<br>
