want to see the goodwill that the CFA and CFS (and all the other Volunteer Fire Services) have built up over the last 20 years disappear in a heartbeat......

Bushfire accused was volunteer firefighter
THE man accused of starting one of the deadly Victorian bushfires was a member of a country fire brigade whose members cheated death fighting the blaze.
The 39-year-old Churchill man, who was charged on Friday with arson causing death, joined the local Country Fire Authority brigade in the 1980s, The Australian reports.
The man is due to appear in Melbourne Magistrates Court today. He faces one charge of arson causing death, one charge of intentionally lighting a bushfire and one charge of possessing child pornography.
sad to see this as an outcome, I guess we are going to become like Scout Leaders who are all assumed to be pedophiles....guilty by association and public paranoia
