Title: Gasman
Post by: gasman on June 26, 2007, 01:45:12 PM
Well hello all, just a quick note to let you guys know  a bit about me.
I am not yet a firefighter, i live too far from a CFS station to be considered an active member, i am currently trying to gain employment with the MFS. Sitting in a holding pattern as we speak, just not too confident in getting a spot before my time runs out in January.
Self employed tradie, married with three kids. Just need a way to get away from the rug rats....
Well thats me in a nut shell, look forward to chatting with you all over time...
Regards

Gasman

....i live too far from a CFS station to be considered an active member,....

If you live nearer to a SES Unit then you could still complete rescue training. SES accept volunteers who cannot be at the Unit within 10 mins because we complete alot of multi-taking incidents that require second trucks to respond.

Now that SES is a Registered Training Organisation, some of the skills will transfer.
