I think the local firies (both lots) are good at what they do - saw them (CFS anway) in action at a horrible RCR last year ( when I was at the unit near the drying up lake) two persons were incinerated.
Anyway they seem to know what they were doing, and as I have said previously we have done a fair bit of fire related work (wildfire & a bit of structural) and I really appreciate having you guys around & the work you do.
Even seen the local mets in action practicing RCR and there not bad, so we must be fortunate around here having good crews from all services
.
I guess at the end of the day its not the colour of the uniform but the quality of the people in them
Thanks for a lively discussion you put some very interesting points across and gave me a better insight into what the fire services consider rescue, which I will pass on to my troops for future reference, in the hope of improving further.
cheers
