An interesting fire for me , the fire was at 'Ezy Gleam' products , my knowledge of this company is that they sell chemicals predominantly to the car industry, so many solvents and nasty stuffs. My first surprise was when I first saw the smoke in the morning around 9am there was lots of it then nothing! On my arrival there was no smoke at all but every now and again a large fire ball would erupt and then disappear as soon as it got there with a small cloud of black smoke. In a news media interview the LP operator actually stated that they thought the fire was out until a huge fire ball exploded around him and a 40 gallon drum woshed past him way above the fire (he quickly got out of there!) Again from what I could see all the offices where destroyed at the front of the building on the second level and the fire was basically playing with fire crews when I got there at 12 30 showing itself momentarily (no pics it was so fast, but spectacular) Thursday 2 September 2004: Some three hours after being made aware of this incident I was finally able to get away from work and attend, one of the first fires I have been to that I couldn't stay so I missed out on many good pics as I was there maybe 20 mins and had to go.

Cars and rear trailer (1 of 2 trailers) ended up down a steep embankment as well as many vehicles from the truck, also other vehicles became crushed under the trailer and those that remained on the vehicle became mangled. The truck (tractor) suffered very little damage with the worst being inflicted on the two trailers and vehicles on the transporter. The truck stopped just a short distance of the over pass barrier and we can only guess what may have happened had it gone over that landing on the busy traffic below at high speeds. Attending was 944 (Karana Downs) and 918 (Oxley), 918 were given a return to station before arrival.

]]> Sun May 30 2004 Merv Greys QATB Ambulances of Yesteryear Image Collection http://aevp.orgfire.fotopic.net/c192596.html Ok here are some pics from Qld ambulance , these pics are from the private photo collection of Merv Bray an ambulance officer from Warwick, the photo collection is from many years of photography of the vehicles at Mervs stations from time to time, I have never seen so many pictures of different ambulances over a period of many years, I hope you all enjoy it as much as I have scanning and posting them, for anyone that is in the area Merv has his own ambulance museum in his back yard that is as good if not better than the one at Wynnum and is open any time as long as he is home, should you be visiting the area contact me for details. History of the Qld Ambulance On the night of September 12 1892, a group of Ambulance enthusiasts met in Brisbane to start the CATB, City Ambulance Transport Brigade, the begining of todays Queensland Ambulance Service. The meeting was held in the home of the founder of CATB Seymour Warrian, and was attended also by Eustace Jack, Geo Windle, W. Tomkins, F.Rudd, A. Beeston, J. Brown, E Slaughter, F.Higginbotham, W. Daniels, W. Hargaves Snr, J. Marlow, A. Clothier and E. J. Smith. But before the forming of the CATB, the Police with little if any tranning had the resposibility for helping accident victims.If Police found an unconscious person in the street, that person was loaded into a 'jingle' a two wheeled cab and taken to the Police Lock up, if that person didnt regain consciousness by that next morning the Government Medical Officer was called in. In addition the Defence Ambulance Corps (DAC) of the Moreton, Formed in 1884, also played an important role, for instance the Qld Turf Club first invited the DAC to attend horse race meetings and the tradition of having an Ambulance at race meetings continues to this day.
