Country Fire Service / Life membership and other awards
« on: February 22, 2011, 10:30:12 PM »
The other evening a couple of our members were discussing life membership and what qualifies you for this.  The big discrepancy seemed to be, who you get life membership of.  Is it the brigade or is it the Country Fire Service.
Whilst on this topic why does it still fall to the brigades to nominate people for the National medal, considering we now have TAS can't that be an automatic thing.
Would be very interested on other peoples thoughts about this and a direction to written proof for the first one if that exists.

Cheers

All Equipment discussion / New CFS Village Pumper
« on: November 05, 2010, 05:57:18 AM »
Off topic slightly, has anyone heard of a 'village pumper'.  What is it how big etc.  At our last group meeting we were led to believe Birdwood would be getting one sometime in the next 18 mths.
On other news Barossa group is finally getting a tanker, 13000 litre at that, in the next couple of weeks.  It's been a good year out here for new vehicles. :-D

Country Fire Service / East Torrens Group Base
« on: May 22, 2008, 09:34:15 AM »
09:16:20   21-05-08   WORKING BEE TOMORROW AT NEW GROUP BASE URAIDLA COMMENCING AT 0900HRS YOUR TIME IS ALL THAT IS REQUIRED FROM GO CFS East Torrens Group Info

Came across this page.  As I understand it there isn't a brigade at Uraidla so is this Group Base not attached to a station.
If so is this the only one, I'm not aware of any other.
How does the group go with operational running it, normally a brigade would start an incident and the same people would run the group base as needed.  So does this group have a group support or similar.
On top of all that I'm surprised they got the finances to duplicate communications etc above whats avaiable in current stations.

Cheers

« on: December 28, 2007, 06:41:16 PM »
Can someone in the know please answer a question thats been a hot topic in our brigade over the last couple of weeks.  If our 34 attends a call, eg grass fire and logs into Adelaide fire that its attending does that put our 24P off line as well, or do Adelaide Fire still recognise 24P as being an available resource?

Cheers

The Humour Zone / You can tell your a firefighter when

You can tell you are a firefighter when
 
Anonymous writes
 
"You can tell what type of fire it is by the smell of smoke 10 miles away.

You have ever had a heated debate over the color of fire trucks.

You have ever spent 10 min trying to force open a door only to have someone come along and open it by turning the handle.

You lay out your clothes from that day so if there is a call at night you can find them quickly.

You take great joy in smashing the windows of a car parked in a fire zone or in front of a hydrant.

You have ever slept in a hose bed.

You carry a ton of specially modified tools in your pocket.

You have ever said, "she's hot tonight" and not been talking about a girl.

You have ever had "yoda ears"

You have ever smoked and there wasn't a cigarette in sight.

You have ever stomped out a fire with your boots because you couldn't wait for water.

You have ever walked 3 miles into the woods in 100 degree heat in full turnout gear and a 5 gal or more water can strapped on your back just to put out a fire.

Your kids are afraid to get into water fights with you.

Your work gear makes you sound like Darth Vader.

You roll around in anything that just burned to make your new gear look old.

You take pride in the fact that you haven't washed your gear in years.

Your own vehicle has more lights than a Christmas tree.

All the shirts you own say you are a firefighter.

If a great stop has nothing to do with a moving vehicle.

The microwave goes off and you run out of the house thinking it was your pager.

If you have ever woken up thinking your pager went off and as you look at it, it goes off.

You know you're a firefighter when you really think that rusty old hydrant looks good in the garden.

If your wife voluntarily chooses the lumpy side of the bed to avoid being trampled in route to a call!

If you had to extricate someone by cutting the car doors off on one side and realized there was nothing wrong with the doors on the other side.

When you take all of your important stuff out of your pockets before going to a training involving a porta tank. "
