Country Fire Service / Stirling HAZMAT
« on: April 10, 2013, 10:40:06 PM »
I hear that Stirling CFS's HAZMAT capability is in the process of being transferred to Bridgewater Brigade. At first I assumed that Stirling must have been relinquishing this willingly (as a part of SFEC reviews). However, I now hear that Stirling have not been consulted about the transfer and are not very happy (understandably).

Any further details?

HAZMAT / Mercury '05
« on: October 22, 2005, 07:02:45 PM »
What brigades (HAZMAT) were involved in the Mercury '05 exercise?  I see on the promo website that State HAZMAT, Burnside and Athelstone CFS were involved.
What feedback do they have about their role as one of the combatant authorities?
Was it a worth while exercise? I would imagine it would be a great exercise to be a part of, from a HAZMAT point of view anyway.

Country Fire Service / Mount Barker Fire Cover
« on: August 29, 2005, 02:19:24 PM »
Does this fact that Mount Barker having 2 pumpers in two years time mean that the rumour of an MFS station (retained) being established in Mount Barker is nothing more than fiction?

All Equipment discussion / Stucture gloves
« on: August 12, 2005, 01:10:38 PM »
What type/brand of structural fire-fighting glove does your brigade currently use.

Several months age, my group bought a box of CSI structure gloves.  They are the top of the range, compartment fire fighting style glove with inner water and vapour barriers etc etc. (not cheap either!) However, after a few months of usage we have found that the inner liners are too easily pulled out of place when you take your glove off.  This is due to the fact that the inner liners are not stiched to the fingers, as this would obviuosly break the water and vapour barriers.  Anyway, it means that every time you use the glove and take it off, you spend 10 minutes jamming your hand and fingers in the glove trying to put the liner back into its correct place.  Consequently, once you have got them on, you are reluctant to take them off, especially at an incident when you don't have ten minutes to spare.

The problem we are having is that because of this, our CABA operators are tending to be discouraged from using the structure gloves, rather using the standard leather fire-fighting gloves for CABA training and incidents.  Not a good thing if you ask me.
