don't swear on the radio
« on: March 10, 2009, 08:59:14 AM »
interesting article about a CFA captain demoted for swearing on the radio:
http://www.news.com.au/story/0,27574,25164210-2,00.html
(and very odd the article says UHF CB radio not CFA/DSE radio but it is news.com.au so is probably completely wrong)

Aboot time the CFA stood up to some of the cowboys in its ranks. Too often they get away with whatever they like by putting on a sob story. He hasn't lost his job, all he's done is lose control of his volunteer empire.

    Please tell me there is more to this.........otherwise it is unbelievable! I am sure if the fire fighters could take the fear, danger, terror and tragedy they faced, being sworn at (whatever the words) would have been hardly worth mentioning, given the circumstances

wow....just as well there isnt any pressing issues in your Group then Bill. Not sure most other Groups I know would have time (or the cbf'd) to deal with this at one of their meetings
