SA Firefighter

Might be a fire ban day, but wont take them long to drop everything and run if they get a job.

If anything probaly be a quicker response as the truck is already crewed

Always been interested in donating blood...didnt get the time to catch the blood bus when it came to the mount last time. Will see if i can catch it this time.

Price negotiable?  How about $50??

must be one of camo's lot....

Yep i own him.  He's one of my shitkickers

Having people that never turn up vote is like asking a stranger off the street to vote for the captain of your brigade.

Having said that Footy lets wait until after the next election to say something as we might need the extra votes 

Just kidding

Hey Blue dont you drive a Ford?

Does that thing even classify as a car?

Oh wait its a Ford KA!!!

The water is kept in that big box thingie on the back of the truck thingie, which is goes through the pump thingie into the big hose thingie's that squirt the water on the fire thingie.

Dumbed down enough you think?

Its all to do with the thingie 

Gday,

At what stage do you think a GO or DGO should attend an incident?

Every call? Any multiple brigade response? 2nd Alarm +?

There is a certain group (and probaly not the only one) where it seems a GO OR DGO attends every single incident from a fixed alarm to a minor grass fire or minor vehicle accident.

Personally i believe they arent needed until the incident is at a stage where a single captain can no longer manage e.g. mulitple brigades at more then just a small grass fire.  If a GO OR DGO attends every incident then the Brigade officers become no more then a babysitter.

What are peoples thoughts?

How can being a volunteer in any or numerous services be classified as selfish?

Yeah sure occasionaly they will clash but who gives a brass razoo?  As a volunteer no one ever expects you to attend 100% of the time and nor should you....There is more to life then living at a fire station.

Footy was giving a basic example and regardless of your views there is no need for your personal attack. I got the idea and im sure alot of others did too.

Also you say the fire service is not a game?  well i guess not but if you take life too serious you wont make it out alive.  

Your a tool man!!!

Was meant to be there as well but was sleeping due to spending 12 hours in the Dergholm Forest the night before.

On the upside got to thrash the scheiße out of a vic parks ute all night.

Well the last two times the MFS have been paged as well but the last time they didnt show up.  Why im not sure..

Although the next closest brigade is Wandilo i think but hey lets not get into politics.  Closest but not neccesarily the quickest.

Would be good to get paged at the same time as well instead of 7 mins later to a fixed alarm next door to the station.  but thats another issue.

Figure this then.

Our local Primary School (very small) is a one truck response with a fixed alarm (monitored via security company).

It is an old weatherboard school with gas bottles everywhere with very little water pressure from the mains.

GO FIGURE!
