if you are paged to a grass fire go to it if you can quickly put it out do so or go home and change if it is a strike team job.

Why not provide work-shirts that can be used at MVA's and grass fires with PBI pants? :evil:

On the other hand, who doesn't want to wear PBI Gold doing traffic control at an MVA on a 2 degree day in the pouring rain? :wink:

Well at a mva the other night one of our members was complaining about the heat of structure helmets and all we were doing was sweeping up spillage.

Now I've heard it all my helmet is to heavy!

Tell him/her to ask to be put in the radio room or making sandwhiches! :evil:

All this PBI gold stuff is easy i wear mine to structures and MVA's as our RCR gear is on our urban appliance and we have been called to a structure a few times straight after an MVA. Carry my Level 3 nomex with me in a bag just in case during summer and vice versa if going to a rural job. Bit of a pain but hey I'm covered what ever we are going to.

We asked about the level one work shirts a while ago and it fell on deaf ears! Just in case we did get caught out on our urban applaince and had to help out our rural appliances or neighbouring brigades. I'm guessing the cost of more gear?

It would actually work out cheaper in the end, PBI and a shirt vs, another full set of turnouts, makes sense, oh hang about, forgot what service we were in for a sec..... :-D

Would PBI and a shirt be for bushfires? I find the Proban is fine for that especially in blackberry ridden hills.  :-)

They would when they have 4WD appliances... The Pumpers aren't supposed to leave the road though...

I was only suggesting the shirts if you got caught out returning from an urban job and had to respond to a rural. I think our current rural gear is fine its light and easy to work in.

MFS do have 4x4 appliances 14's (ROSA) Mitsubishi Canters

Have they just sat their waiting, or have they been proactive and actually chased up why it has taken that long?

ive sent you an email/PM pip,  and for the rest of the audience...contacting your region HQ is pretty much the thing to do every now and then to remind them, i think.
