Mount Barker MFS
CFS_fire32:
Anyone able to confirm/deny rumour re: recent State Government approval for construction of MFS Station in Mount Barker?
CFS_Firey:
I can confirm there's a rumour if that helps? :p
Monger:
I saw an article in the local Mt BArker news that the fire service up there may become paid MFS?
CFS_fire32:
Believe wheels were in motion to establish retained MFS in Mt Barker this year, but now not happening. Mt Barker will remain CFS for the "foreseeable future" is what I have heard. Couple reasons for this (that I have been told):
1) MFS didn't have enough funds available to build a new station in Mt Barker at this time due to other station replacement projects.
2) Retained MFS would provide no significant improvement in service delivery v's Volunteers as both rely on very similar systems i.e not full time staffing and similar response times.
Believe Mt Barker will soon lose their loan MFS Scanias, but not sure what their appliance line up will look like?
Interesting article in this weeks Courier...
CFS_fire32:
Believe SAFECOM have very recently approved a retained MFS Station for Mt Barker... no timeframe, but sooner rather than later...
