SA Firefighter

Seriously though, the right thing is done by comms generally and all services are called out.

But on many occasions Police and SAAS arrive first and find no entrapments.

I know of many occasions there has been stops put through from Police SAAS or other services and it doesn't seem to happen!

That is probably the biggest gripe

Brilliant!

Dunrootin.
Situated in between two mountains, it was a nice warm homely village.
The towns people were........

He removed himself out of under the piano and began playing the sheet music.

Then two firefighters came running in and one said to the other "gee this bloke must have concussion cause that music is really sheet!!"

beer with every sheila he picked up!
Now, that would be a great deal! he said to himself.

Unfortunately that could be true about the fitness level dropping after entry and recruit course but hey, if you are working fulltime with the Fire Service and have time allocated to fitness then why wouldn't you do it for your own well being?

Still waiting to find out!
Will be around August 20th when I find out.
Keeping fingers crossed.

I think there should be some training on SA Firefighter on how to use the spell check! (Training Probelms should be Training Problems)

This is one subject that will always be discussed heavily!

I personally think that what will happen eventually, is that a lot of the smaller MFS stations with small callout numbers will close and will revert to CFS.

The larger stations with more callouts will change to MFS and start at maybe retained or go straight to full time depending on call numbers etc.

Also, I think it would only be fair if this occurred, for crews to be selected from existing members of the particular brigades that are being changed over.

One reason I think it will happen like this is, (like already pointed out by others in this thread) is that the government (and unions) have said that there will only be one paid Fire Service in the state of S.A.

Like it or not, no one here makes the rules, so we will have to make the most of it when it happens!

There still is a possibility of one Fire Service, like what occurs in Tasmania, but I don't see them changing to this setup now seeing that both Fire Services are well established in S.A. and both have individual proud traditions that the government will not like to break!
(I believe that Tasmanian Fire Service has been all one service since day one - could be wrong)

Anyhow, could be interesting times..........

If the Italians don't win I heard that Hollywood has some positions available for great actors!!

The CFS and MFB if I recall correctly, both went with a new corporate insignia at around the same time.

I understand not too many MFB boys were overly happy about their traditional insignia shown on all appliances being replaced with the new "corporate" emblem.

Must admit, didn't here too many CFS members getting annoyed about their new "corporate" logo, but I would be annoyed if our service tryed to change our traditional insignia.

Can anyone remember what each point of the star (or cross) of St. John means?

I think it was perseverance,tact,loyalty,dexterity,gallantry,sympathy,explicitness,observation.

Let me know if I'm wrong!!

Some of the smaller Retained stations might be starting to replace their F7 Volvo's with ex city FL7 versions due to new Scania's going on line in Adelaide at the present time.

Other than that, I couldn't be sure on why!
