JazzyB123 Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Just been asked this question and can only think of TIC, team talk, rank but I’m sure there’s one more. Thanks for the help Link to comment
HoldFast Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Pretty much everything really. FFT firefighting team CL casualty location SRT search and rescue team HRJ hose reel jet J main jet MGL main guideline BGL branch guide line LH left hand search RH right hand search TTW time to whistle TOW time of whistle There are more but that’s what I can remember off the top of my head. They may vary depending on the service Link to comment
Mess6311 Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 CSP compartmental search pattern DSP directional search pattern Wasnt that long ago everything had to be written in full with no abbreviations. Link to comment
JazzyB123 Posted July 30, 2019 Author Share Posted July 30, 2019 I think in Essex there’s only four abbreviations aloud if I remember correctly and I was missing LH and RH and measurements. Thanks for the help guys! Link to comment
TandA Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Not sure even LH and RH are allowed in Essex, certainly weren’t last time I got asked that by a BAI. The other 4 you mention are fine though. Link to comment
CaptainFlack Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Really ? Thought everyone was singing from NOGBA. Below is a screenshot from GMFRS BA literature 1 Link to comment
TandA Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 @CaptainFlack Essex have done their own thing when it comes to BA for well over 20 years. In the days of TB1/97, we ran with a lot stricter conditions on abbreviations, only >4 wearers needed for stage 2, no single wearers for fire in the open, no rapid deployment and more. There has been talk of us fully adopting NOGBA but, if you pardon the pun, I won’t be holding my breath as this has been talked of before and there is always something that ends up getting in the way. 1 Link to comment
Deano89 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 (edited) We were taught on my course to abbreviate as much as possible (there should be a list of recognised abbreviations with the ECB) but most people who've been in more than a few years prefer not to Here's one from a drill a few weeks back Edited October 15, 2019 by Deano89 Adding picture Link to comment
