Country Fire Service / Fitness - Interstate incidents
« on: March 03, 2005, 01:39:37 PM »
Do you think the service should adopt a minimum fitness standard for crew wishing to partake in interstate incidents???
I like the fact that they have set minimum training requirements, however, i wouldnt mind seeing them adopting something like the pack hike test as well.
A once a year assessment that could be conducted by an officer perhaps.......
Both Parks & Wildlife and Forestry use it as a basic fitness test...
What's everyone else's thoughts?? Maybe even extending an easier version to strike team crews?
