Thats rubbing shoulders with your neighbours, whereas Sydney is a charter flight flying Qantas full of firefighters and staying in motel accommodation,and hot bedding between shifts..you'll get four hours sleep if your lucky :-D

Breakfast is great full of scrambled eggs,bacon, sausages, hash browns cereal etc

Dont see the need to go to NSW as RFS only have 15% of there members on the ground,better we stay here and deal with what we have at hand in our own back yard.Next week going to be warm to very hot....

I would like to think that sense would prevail and we don't seriously consider sending anyone interstate when we have so many active fires in our own patch!

The current pattern of lightening (which I heard on a long range forecast is going to continue until January) would see us having new fires every week...let alone the ones that are still burning from last week... :?

as i said, still not confirmed. just excited groups...

personally i dont see why 'we' are all so keen to go interstate.
if ppl are keen to go to NSW then why not the bookmark fires instead? or KI fires when they happen...

what is so good about interstate? just the crank factor?

I couldn't agree more Medevac....I suppose it's sounds exciting and there's that aspect but vollies don't believe us when we say it's better fighting our own fires than being back up interstate... :lol:

and....you have to have a level of experience and training before being allowed to go...any newbies aren't/shouldn't be included...it's a time when you have to trust your team to know what to do when you are in unfamiliar territory, weather, fire behaviour and working with another organisation...something to seriously consider... :-o

There is a minimum experience level needed to go interstate Captain Commy, 2 years "experience." (cause we all know length doesnt equate for fireground experience necessarily :wink: )
