(2) The functions of a community fire unit are as follows:

(a) to undertake fire prevention work by encouraging the preparation of properties in advance of the bush fire danger period and assisting with hazard reduction work such as clearing and pile burning,

(b) to assist fire fighters during a bush fire, particularly through the defensive protection of homes from spot fires and ember attacks before fire fighters arrive or while fire fighters are working at the main fire fronts,

(c) to assist with recovery operations after a bush fire such as bushland regeneration and removal of debris that could pose a future bush fire hazard,

(d) to educate members of the community in relation to fire safety and the prevention of bush fires.

(3) The functions of a community fire unit may be exercised only in the geographical area for which the unit is established.

(4) The functions of a community fire unit may be exercised by any member of the community fire unit.

POLICIES

Response of additional appliances from stations

1. Discretion to respond additional appliances to fires, rescues and hazmat incidents

While most appliances are dispatched to incidents by the Communication Centres (ComCens), there are circumstances in which a Station Commander has the discretion to respond additional appliances from their station to fires and hazmat incidents, for example:

•  when the Station Commander has local knowledge that indicates additional resources may be required, or

•  when retained stations need to use a second appliance to transport additional retained firefighters to an incident.

Note: At stations with dual rescue appliances, the Station Commanders have the discretion to respond the additional rescue appliance to rescue calls within their rescue area. In the event that further rescue resources are required, Station Commanders can request their attendance through the ComCen. The ComCen will then pass the request onto the Police Rescue Coordinator.

Relevant ComCens will ensure the Police Rescue Coordinator is aware of the current status of NSWFB accredited rescue appliances in accordance with the policy on Notification of rescue unit status below.

2. ComCens must be notified of all responses

To ensure that the response of additional appliances does not jeopardise the NSWFB's ability to respond to other incidents, the Station Commander or Officer in Charge of the appliance must notify the ComCen before responding, giving the reason for the response, for example:

Appliance: Newcastle Comms, Tanker 444 Blue
ComCen: Newcastle Comms, pass your message Tanker 444
Appliance: Newcastle Comms, Tanker 444 Blue. Code 1 to Singleton Heights incident, transportation for Retained Firefighters only
ComCen: Newcastle Comms, received your Code 1 at 1435 hours, channel clear

In most cases this will be a formality, but the ComCen has the authority to refuse a request or to refer the request to the Incident Controller for confirmation that the resource is required. This ensures the ComCen can meet its responsibility to maintain response coverage across its dispatch area.

For example, if there is another incident in progress, the additional appliance may be required to remain at the station to provide coverage for stations that have been moved up. Another example would be where the ComCen has been informed of a security threat that requires resources to be held in reserve.

Notification of the ComCen also means that the response will be recorded in FireCAD and included in AIRS reports.

Assistant Commissioner Graham Dewsnap, Director State Operations, (02) 9318 4375

File Reference:

CHO/05822

Notification of rescue unit status

1. Notification of unavailability for response

Under the State rescue policy , all accredited rescue units are required to notify the NSW Police, through the Police Rescue Coordinator, when an accredited rescue unit is unavailable for response.

Station Commanders must notify their NSWFB Communication Centre (ComCen) immediately if the accredited appliance can not respond for any reason, such as insufficient trained personnel available or appliance breakdown. The ComCen will notify the Police Rescue Coordinator.

2. Dual-appliance rescue stations

At dual-appliance rescue stations, Station Commanders must advise their ComCen whether one or both vehicles have sufficient rescue operators. The ComCen Supervisor will record this in FireCAD and pass this information to the Police Rescue Coordinator.

3. Notification of change of rescue status

Station Commanders must also notify their ComCen, who will notify the Police Rescue Coordinator, when the status of their rescue accreditation changes due to unavailability of other rescue units (ie when upgraded from secondary to primary).

Dynamic Risk Assessment Manual

1. Introduction

The NSWFB has produced a manual on Dynamic Risk Assessment for Operations: the Safe Person Concept to enhance occupational health and safety in the firefighter's operational working environment.

Dynamic risk assessment is the continuous assessment of risk in the changing circumstances of operational incidents and training exercises, with the objective of implementing control measures to ensure acceptable levels of firefighter safety.

2. Purpose

The purpose of this manual is:

•  to introduce the safe person concept to the NSWFB

•  to educate firefighters on reducing the risks that they face, and

•  to improve firefighter safety.

It reinforces the NSWFB's Risk Management Policy at a tactical level by promoting the risk assessment methodology at incidents and training exercises.

All operational personnel are expected to make themselves familiar with this manual.

3. Initial issue

Initial issue started in July 2005. A single copy of the Dynamic Risk Assessment manual was personally addressed and delivered to all operational personnel in the NSWFB.

An electronic version of the manual is also available on the Intranet under State Operations.

If you did not receive a in the initial issue, you can requisition a copy using the details in section 5 below.

4. Issue to recruits

Recruit and Retained Firefighters commencing duty after 29 July 2005 must be issued with a copy of the manual in accordance with the following procedure:

4.1 Permanent Recruit Firefighters

The Manager Recruit Training is responsible for ordering and issuing the manual to all permanent Recruit Firefighters undergoing initial training at the State Training College.


4.2 Recruit Retained Firefighters

Station Commanders involved in the recruitment of Retained Firefighters are responsible for ordering and issuing the manual when issuing initial uniform supply.

5. Ordering information

For the purpose of replacement and additional supply, the Dynamic Risk Assessment Manual has been included in the Corporate Stationery Contract with the printers SALMAT. All stations are to make note of the details listed below and include the information in their Supply Catalogue .

Privacy policy

1. Introduction

The NSW Fire Brigades respects the privacy of members of the public who use our services and of our employees and volunteers. As an emergency service, we know that protecting people's privacy is an important part of maintaining the trust of the community in the NSWFB so that we can help them in times of need.

As a NSW government agency, the NSWFB must meet the requirements of the Privacy and Personal Information Protection Act 1998 and the Heath Records and Information Privacy Act 2002 . These two acts establish principles for the management of personal and health information by NSW government agencies. They set out our obligations in relation to the collection, retention, security, access, use and disclosure of personal and health information.

This policy gives the framework under which the NSWFB manages personal and health information and is a guide for decision making in the daily use of this information.

2. Who is responsible for privacy?

It is the responsibility of everyone in the NSWFB to protect the privacy of members of the public, our employees and volunteers by managing personal and health information in accordance with this policy.

It is the responsibility of commanders and managers to build privacy into the management of personal and health information in their areas of responsibility by making sure their staff are aware of the privacy principles and incorporating privacy considerations in policies, procedures and systems.

3. What is personal information?

Personal information is any information that relates to an identifiable person. Personal information may be held not only in paper records, but also electronic records, audio or video recordings, photographs and biometric information such as fingerprints.

A person's name need not be included in the information to make it personal information. If the person can be reasonably identified from the information, then it is personal information. For example, a photograph including a vehicle registration number may be personal information.

4. What is health information?

Health information is a particular type of personal information. Health information is personal information or an opinion about:

•  a person's physical or mental health or disability, or

•  a person's express wishes about the future provision of health services for themselves, or

•  a health service provided, or to be provided to a person, including information collected in relation to the provision of that health service.

5. What sorts of personal and health information does the NSWFB hold?

The following is an overview of the types of personal and health information that the NSWFB collects.

Incident information

In order to provide emergency response services, the NSWFB collects information about members of the public affected by incidents. This information is used to respond to and deal with the incident and may also be used to assist people to recover from an incident. Examples of information we collect include Calling Number Identification and voice recordings from Triple Zero calls, and information required for incident reports, court statements, investigation reports and approved research projects. In some cases this may include health information about a person affected by an incident, such as the fact that they were injured.

Risk management services

In order to provide risk management services such as Smoke Alarm Battery Replacement for the Elderly, Intervention and Fire Awareness Programs, the Static Water Supply program, etc, we collect personal information about the clients of these services. In some cases this may include health information where a person's health status is pertinent to the provision of the service.

Employee and volunteer information

We collect personal and health information about our employees and volunteers in order to manage their employment and volunteer service with the NSWFB.

6. Privacy principles

The Privacy and Information Protection Act 1998 sets out 12 Information Protection Principles. The Health Records and Information Privacy Act 2002 sets out 15 Health Privacy Principles . The NSWFB must follow these principles for collecting, storing, using and disclosing personal and health information.

Sections 7 to 12 of this policy set out the NSWFB's approach to these principles. Specific applications of these principles should be built into the policies and procedures of each area of the NSWFB that collects, stores, uses or discloses personal or health information.

7. Collection

Lawful - the NSWFB will only collect personal or health information for a lawful purpose. The information must be directly related to the NSWFB's activities and necessary for that purpose.

Relevant - the NSWFB will ensure that personal and health information that it collects is relevant, not excessive, accurate and up to date. We will not unnecessarily intrude into the personal affairs of the individual.

Direct - the NSWFB will collect personal and health information directly from the person concerned, unless they have given consent otherwise or unless we are responding to an incident.

Open - the NSWFB will take reasonable steps to inform people why we are collecting information about them, what we will do with it and who else might see it. We will also inform them how they can see and correct the information. However, in an emergency situation it may not be reasonable for us to individually notify people affected by the emergency.

8. Storage

Secure - the NSWFB will ensure that personal and health information is stored securely, not kept any longer than necessary, and is disposed of appropriately. Information must be protected from unauthorised access, use or disclosure. The NSWFB's Information security policy (In Orders 2003/26) applies to personal and health information.

9. Access

Transparent - the NSWFB will take reasonable steps to explain to people what personal or health information about them is being stored, why it is being used and any rights they have to access it.

Accessible - the NSWFB allows people to access their personal or health information without unreasonable delay or expense.

Correct - the NSWFB allows people to update, correct or amend their personal or health information where necessary.

10. Use

Accurate - the NSWFB will take reasonable steps to ensure that personal and health information is relevant and accurate before using it.

Limited - the NSWFB will only use personal or health information for the purpose for which it was collected, or a directly related purpose that the person would expect. We may use personal and health information without consent in order to deal with a serious and imminent threat to any person's health or safety. Otherwise we will get the person's consent.

11. Disclosure

Restricted - during an emergency the NSWFB may disclose personal and health information without consent in order to deal with a serious and imminent threat to any person's health or safety. The NSWFB may also disclose personal or health information to a third party who has lawful authority to collect the information, to investigative agencies, to law enforcement agencies, or to our Minister or the Premier. When somebody affected by an emergency incident lodges an insurance claim, we may disclose information about the incident to the insurance company or to loss adjusters for the purpose of verifying the claim.

Apart from the above, the NSWFB will only disclose personal or health information for the purpose for which it was collected, or a directly related purpose that the person would expect. Otherwise, we will get people's consent to disclosures.

Sensitive information - the NSWFB will not disclose sensitive personal information, for example information about a person's ethnic or racial origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs or trade union membership without consent or lawful authority, unless there is a serious or imminent threat to any person's health or safety.

12. Additional requirements for health information

Identification - the NSWFB allocates unique numbers to its employees and volunteers in order to manage their records effectively. The NSWFB does not use numbers issued by other government agencies to identify employees, volunteers or members of the public who receive health services from the NSWFB.

Anonymous - the NSWFB will give people the option of receiving health services anonymously, where this is lawful and practicable.

Transfers - the NSWFB does not normally transfer health information outside NSW, however, if there is a requirement to do so, we will make sure that substantially similar privacy laws apply in the receiving jurisdiction.

Linking health records - if the NSWFB becomes a party to any system that links our health records with those of another organisation, we will get express consent to participation from anyone involved.

13. Accessing personal information

Members of the public who wish to access incident information should use the Request for incident information form on the NSWFB's internet site.

Members of the public who wish to access other personal information we hold about them should contact the Records Manager/Archivist, NSW Fire Brigades, PO Box A249, Sydney South NSW 1232, phone (02) 9265 2842.

Employees who wish to access their personnel records should contact their Human Resources Manager. For access to health records contact the Health Services Group on (02) 9265 2800.

14. Privacy complaints

If you think your privacy has been breached by the NSWFB, you should seek an internal review by sending a written application to the Professional Standards and Conduct Officer, NSW Fire Brigades, PO Box A249, Sydney South NSW 1232, within six months of your first becoming aware of the conduct or decision you are complaining about.

You may use the internal review application form on the Privacy NSW website or you may simply write a letter.

The internal review will be done by someone other than the person responsible for the conduct or decision you are complaining about, and it will be overseen by Privacy NSW.

If your internal review is not completed within 60 days, or if you are unhappy with the results, you can ask the Administrative Decisions Tribunal to review the conduct or decision.

The Tribunal will assess whether or not the NSWFB complied with its privacy obligations. If it decides that there is a breach of privacy, the Tribunal may order the NSWFB to change its practices, apologise to you, or take some steps to remedy any damage you suffered.

For more information on how to lodge a privacy case in the Tribunal, contact the Tribunal on (02) 9223 4677.

15. Further information

An online Privacy Training Program developed by Privacy NSW to explain the Privacy and Personal Information Protection Act 1998 is available on the Intranet . There is also information available on Privacy NSW's website , including a Handbook to Health Privacy .
