    yep we have to reset the siren after every call out..we are a rural brigade so almost all our guys are farmers and i guess on average it takes around 3 to 4 min to get a full crew.. we also have pagers that go off on the 2nd “rise” of the siren.. even thou we are only a single pump station we still average between 90 and 120 calls a year as we have 3 other volunteer stations withn 10 min drive and 99% of the time we backup them..

    All depends on where it is.More rural towns with bad pager coverage may go for longer.But Lytteltons close to Christchurch city and is a good sized town so they use may only use 4 blast to limit nosie complains in the town.Some volly brigades just have pager turnout now days.
