SA Firefighter

Why do people persist with the idea that PBI is structural gear only? It is fire fighter protective clothing. Apart from grass and scrub fire fighting why would you not wear the best gear you can?

Absolutely wear PBI to every single job you can. I'd wear it to a cat up a tree.....

There a several SAMFS stations using GRN pagers for the Station Officers.

Recording is not new - The Para Group Base at One Tree Hill had a serious reel to reel mag tape recording system pre GRN. I first saw that about 15 years ago. Don't think it's still in service though.

Thanx for all your reply's guys.

Yeah I tried to contest it and get another go but the board said no, so yeah unfortunately I now have to wait till the next intake.

As for not going to the grass fire the night before it's hard when at night we don't get alot of people show up and when its something serious like a large fire its hard to not go. Like if it was a major MVA I would have gone but if it was a minor like fixed alarm wouldnt have bothered.

Thanx again

Fair enough  - Your priorities are for you to work out....

Anyone with images yet?

If we are talking strictly tools then I would go for an Akron branch or three. The my next favourite kit is a well stocked rapid intervention kit for road jobs.

I have to ask why go to a volunteer job the night before a major career acceptance test?

Should have stayed home slept well got up early had a small breakfast then come into town early around 45 minutes to spare. Arrive at SAMFS early.

It's a shame you missed out on testing 

what the ?? This is safirefighter not virtual doctor..

Completely inappropriate response to a genuine question. Take a look at this boards description it is meant for clinical discussion.

If you can't add value to the topic don't post.

The success of this site is really dependant on the user.

If we continue to be negative and full of nit picking and criticism it will close. If the community can grow up and start to discuss things in a mature and fun way then perhaps the site will live on.

We have the web space available to have much more image sharing and great discussion about the positives in emergency response.

We should be sharing all the good stuff along with discussing the occasional negatives.

Time for a change in attitude.

I swear I had already replied to this topic recently... oh well take two:

We have always wanted this site to be self regulating and free from over the top moderation.

Mate, no offense, but we can't say He11 here without it being filtered... If thats not over the top I don't know what is.

As far as introducing a Ozfire type, zero criticism policy, I strongly disagree. There are times and matters on which we can all have differing opinions and there are times when occurrences should be criticized or a "Why did this happen" is warranted.

Otherwise we end up living in a small disillusioned world, where we think the way we do things is the best.

As far as having a requirement for name/service/brigade, I can't say I agree but at the same time, it would make for interesting discussion...

Just so you know the swearing filter is not a moderation attempt. It is designed wholly and solely to ensure a safe internet site for kids and all types of people. The no swearing rule is to enhance simple courtesy.
You could liken it to going out with family, you choose not to swear because there are young people around or your mum/wife whoever.
Same applies here, you don't know the age or sensibilities of people who read so don't swear.

It's not difficult to understand is it?

Thanks for the suggestion numbers!

I agree with Mike. Although child boards would be the technically correct way forward. The boards are more visible as they are now.

Cheers

Yep - Done the course not the slightest bit of rocket science. Basic Map reading compass work or GPS and walk in a line.

Bit more expertise required to coordinate the whole thing but not hard.....
