How ironic is it to say "MFS Country Station's"...Metro..Country...ehh...METRY??
Yeah or how ironic is this....Country..Metro..what the? Countros!!!
So the head of that station would they be called the Fat cont fat cont fat cont fat controller ask's Big Yellowgongbeater who stutters at the most inappropriate time.
The article needs to be read in conjunction with the UFU submission to the F&ES review. intergrated tri service, rather than the one all encompassing service they were hoping for! What they want is to do it all (except for the stuff that takes lots of man power & time)And with CFS doing rural fire fighting & SES doing storm & flood non glory work, SAF&RS members will be UFU, the power of the union increases & the vollie associations decreases. Once the volunteers are subdued then they will start on the retained crews trying to justify full timers in their positions. Why? - easy more full time members, means more union dues (the union has more money to play with) and everyones happy!
Well done UFU going public with something that should have been kept internal, but remember the next time that your members have a job that goes sour - the media will remember your comments & so will the property owners - I don't think they will be saying "oh well you did your best".
Interestingly SAFECOM spoke for both service chiefs - more intergration?
Anyway enough of my rant
cheers
We forget that being a paid MFS firie isn't really a huge claim to fame, seeing as though there are CFS stations that attend more calls than many MFS stations. Not to mention, its not like MFS attend *that* many decent jobs.
Crownie was the first strike, so that'd make you number two,, here, tissue's all round.
Comrade, we are fellow paid brothers of the flame! Don't get snotty because you're beloved SAMFS aren't the be all and end all of firefighting
Ha ha I concur! Beside's never for one second did I allude to the fact or imply that I am a member of the SAMFS nor have I ever implied or denied that i'm a member of the SACFS, there is more than 1 paid fire service in South Australia. just being that the SAMFS is the lowest paid ha ha ha and is the public supplied one.
I just derive smiles from some of the over the top and most times ill informed responses that many poster's make to people who are obviously taking the mickey!
I enjoy a good baiting just as much as the next bloke, there was no reaction to the bait, merely a suggestion towards those poor persons who are all wrapped around the axles about SAMFS

Does this imply that CFS does? Do you know something that the Nomad task force should? ha ha haSo the MFS light fires now as well?
(apart from the fact that MFS fires have been proven to burn a lot hotter than CFS fires)
No seriously everyone, if the government decided to pay you a "retainer" to be in the CFS, how many of you would turn it down?
and secondly,
I have read posts on this forum before that you believe the CFS is the exactly the same as the MFS except of course the MFS get paid.
Why then do a lot of people on this forum want to leave the CFS and join the "Mets", one reason only......money
(apart from the fact that MFS fires have been proven to burn a lot hotter than CFS fires)
Oh "ding ding" that must be the start of round two! 
I love getting paid to attend fire calls. Why the filtered would you do it for free.
Dead set it's like shooting fish in a barrel, geeze some of you people are easy Oh I can hear it all now "yeah but he/she shouldn't put inflaming posts like that!!" 
It's obviously been done to draw a reaction, and suprise suprise, out come the hearts on the sleeves. I don't particularly like K99's posts, but i get a huge smile everytime someone cry's a river in response.
Who should get responded?
So essentaially there is a tanker on fire in the down tunnel. the condition of the two drivers is unknown.
Who should get responded and how do you puth the fire out?
Ahh your cynacism is noted, but I do believe that the vast majority of urban fringe brigades are more than happy with the appliances allocated to them. Do I detect that you wish to pursure a discussion along the lines of changing BRT's to BWT's? Won't happen coz the rules were laid out and simple, and heavens forbid you may be labelled as a gongbeaterAnd no they weren't vollies in a 5 call out a year brigade, they've got extensive experience in an urban fringe brigade that also has huge rural risks.
Pity they didn't learn anything from that 'extensive experience' otherwise we'd have decent urban capabilities.
Instead of some brigades getting equipment or appliance's they don't need because they "know" someone???That's the biggest cop out and bunch of bollocks I've ever heard! All appliances are allocated according to local risks. It comes down to some brigades thinking they've got higher risks than they actually have, and other brigade's not realizing the risks they truly have. People need to understand the "good ole'" days of brigades designing and purchasing their appliances and equipment are over. The SACFS has moved on from 99% of the state having Chevy Blitz's while the other 1%(with sufficient finances) have Top of the range appliances that are actually not matched with their local risks.
Big Yellow Gongbeater you live in the past!
Your gong might have beaten well in the past, but now it not as loud.
But on aggregate you are the winner.
Fire frog is that silly ?
In the past ha ha ha
Salisbury SAMFS 6th best placed SACFS team Blackwood in 8th. Well well well that's at the national level. Beater, what about if you need to boost? 34P couldn't do 4in and 4 out. Or in some areas you may need to use a ground monitor and multiple 64mm hoses which a 34P won't handle.4 in 4 out is the ideal. But nearly all boosting systems only require 2 in 2 out minimum, and current pumps on 24/34P's meet the minimum. And if you're worried about Highrise buildings suddenly popping up everywhere in SACFS areas, go have a look at the booster setup's in Qld, many 30 storey plus are 2in 2 out.
let's not let this get into an unfriendly debate.Awwwww c'mon Firefrog don't be like that, I like silly it keeps me entertained..
We all know debating an irrelevant thing like who is or isn't better is futile and a waste of time.
I will lock the thread if it gets silly!
No 3 14s per brigade woulld result in various brigades responding 3 trucks with 2 people per appliance.MMMM getting close to gongbeating there, ask yourself this question if it's all about high pressure and pumping capacity.
I suggest either giving each brigade an urban pumper type appliance and a appliance about the size of the current 24s for rural jobs.
or just make give 24p/34p bigger pumps that work better at high pressure so they actauly have a good pumping capacity.
Ha ha ha ha, love ya work MundCFS, just coz I passed the Pat1 doesn't necessarily mean i'm a SAMFS fulltime firie. I could've failed the Pat2 and or interview. And I may just be a member of one of an extremely busy Urban Fringe CFS brigade (remember there's a huge difference in call outs between the top 10 responding brigades and the rest of the state)Dunno Gong kinda sound like a full timer?
tssk tssk tssk, Medevac personal attacks I mean really
"cocky as filtered" yeah pretty much you can afford to be when ya actually know ya stuff
"full of filtered" man that cuts to the bone
Im only guessing, but over time I have observed that yours and K99's posts occur when a particular shift is on duty.All I can say is this:
Not that there is anything wrong with adding to and assisiting this forum with your knowlegde and experience, but I for one pick up on the often snarly and sarcastic comments, and im assuming others do to. (Not saying that all of them are by any means...
A little professionalism is all that could be asked for.
Stay safe.
Now, can we grow up a little and leave the snarly and sarcastic posts in the gutter where they belong?
Quiet shift today boys?And you ask this because?
