SA Firefighter

Wish they would make up their mind as to what to wear it to and what not to wear it to,it's strange how each region is differant in telling its Volunteers what jobs you can wear it too...tell me how many people would where PBI gold to a MVA on a hot 35 day or better still coming back from a fixed alarm are paged onto a scrub fire and your in PBI gold. If they want us to wear it then there needs to be uniformed rules on what jobs to wear it to across the state and not regions making up there own rules.

Nice to see we are all good with directions to STC.....

Well get into the command car point the vehicle towards the hills and drive..... Nope not going but its a good course and very hands on and I am sure you will come away knowing it all,You may be lucky enough to get our brigade RARTO and he has a very good understanding of RCR.Enjoy the course and come back and keep your skills up........

No point in urban brigade's supporting what they want as the group will override that or make it hard for a brigade to get what that brigade wants..was it not the group who did not want eden hills to have a type two pumper?

So it not the big red car but the big red bus

Well those brigade's that do lots of calls 200+ would not be able to do these calls with out the help of members who are shift workers,who have family and bosses that allow them to go to call outs. as for petrol and costing well that should not come into it,we do our job to serve and provide a community and state service to the people of SA and those other place's that we love to visit.Now and then we get a free holiday from CFS....Sorry that is a working holiday.

Bugger am busy that day with family here from the hill's, make sure you take some photo's adam........

good on ya camo,you could always put on a frock......

Just give them  them a type 2 pumper as this is the path that cfs have taken in gettng pumpers out into brigade's that need that type of appliances. burnside brigade are no differant than any other urban brigade in region one or region 5 there call rate has dropped down and they dont do a lot of large jobs like they used to. They should be happy with a type 2 as I know a number of brigade's who have now got a CFS type 2 pumper are thrilled with their new pumper. So does anyone really know why they dont want a type 2??..

If they have that much money to buy their own appliances well let them but who will own the appliances it will not be the brigade but the CFS...

Cam, old saying from one old fart (me) damned if you do and damned if you don't,but having said that and I have not woren a set in about 8 years due to my spare tyre. Its a very hard call and one that I am sure some off us  have all made before Yes I have made that call once before and to tell you the truth if the crew was willing and back up was not far away go for it. But you have to be sure that what actions you take as the OIC will be those of crew safety first. I guess if we look at this job,Cam is it in a rural area?? is it in a urban area?? Mate lets face it if its in a country rural area back up may be 20 Min's away but they may not be CABA brigade so then you have a bigger problem....

Hope they catch the sick puppy......

Any photos of the riverland level 3???

Or do they treat there appliances rough.......
