Country Fire Service / CFS as a paid service

Interesting subject.... Goodstuff CFS Firey

I believe other avenue for reimbursment should be made for 'volunteers' before you look a paying a wage. Firstly taxation on second incomes for a lot of vollies would make it financial productive.

Other options I like are, as said before by MCFSFF, Waving the emergency service levy, fire levy on rego, or other tax incentives.

I like your thinking.  I believe this would be a better approach rather than paying members.

Or even if the government alloacates funds to a brigade so that you could go out together like a dinner movie night or something similar.  This also causes issues because then your crew is out of area.

Country Fire Service / Use of fire sirens

We are attempting to start using ours again.  We are to sound it between the hours of 9-5 only, I am usally at work, however on the weekends I can.

I think its a good idea as sometimes pagers may be out of range, yet members may still hear the siren, plus the siren also sends a page through so if you miss the first job page you may get the siren page.

Country Fire Service / Logo
« on: April 20, 2005, 04:13:59 PM »
Sorry to say it, but I like the new logo.  It just show's that the CFS can change with the community.

The new logo also matches the PPE colour.

I like that fact that people still use the star which shows the tradition of the service.

I feel though that the new logo, stands out & shows that we are SA (State Shape) & that we are the CFS (Country Fire Service).

A quick glance at the CFS star from a member of public usally gets the response what is that logo, I find that it is hard to read from a distance due to the size of the text.  I would be happy & proud to wear both logo's.
