  Most emergencies get sent more cars than you might expect, so it’s likely not as serious or newsworthy as all the action seems to indicate.

  Here’s the pager callout for 10.30 this morning:

  @@ALERT 03407 IN 1A VEHICLE INTO STRUCTURE - TRAPPED CNR CHESTERVILLE RD/SOUTH RD MOORABBIN M 77 K5 (296994) AFPRS MCHA PODHR PT29 T10A TOPSNA FGD17 [FS29_]

    nope, that one isn’t it. I live near that corner, they were coming out of it and heading up towards the opposite end of chesty - southland end.

      It probably was the same job, they got an updated address after the inital page, it was actually further south. Turned out to not be anything dramatic, just a standard run of the mill accident which got a big initial response due to the initial description.

  Nothing I can see out that way now. Probably a report of a car accident, that always gets lots of trucks hurtling and most of the time turns out to not be as bad as initial reports indicated and they all turn around and go home again.

    yeah we’re kinda a thoroughfare for emergency vehicles, but this was a BIG lot. Like last time I saw that many was the battery fire.

  I check VicEmergency when I hear a bunch of sirens.
