cheers

Just a quick suggestion, I did my BA in naracort ( please excuse spelling). They acctivated a spare DSU and chucked it in. As ETO i sent crews in. this was good learning, but found i knew were my crews were so sent the other crews after them only to find there wasnt actually a person, so if you do activate a DSU if you place it on a dummy take a member out so it gives the ETO a chance to check how they are going. a search and rescue wasnt that effective when the BA were looking for a FF when it was only a small DSU.
Still was a great weekend though.

Its all nice and sparkly now with seaford pumper stuck to it.
at the moment our logistics car is at seaford so we have 24, 24p and pumper, we have three months to decide if we want to use it then if we decide to keep it the rescue gear goes on pumper and we go back to one pumper and rural.

i dont think it will take 2 weeks to learn to use, as we have been mucking around with it today and yesterday, we get new gear for it monday or tuesday to get it ready to use, but we also have a brigade meeting tomorrow so its better to over estimate than under, all though going to the stc sounds good.

hey, our brigade has been turned out for a couple of calls out side their area, i only know about the one cause i went. it was about 2.30 in the morn and we got paged for a fire at hackham how ever it turned out on the expressway at renella but were advised to go up a bike track near ohalleren hill. when the officer iquired if morphett or a closer brigade had been responded, im not sure of the response but he got the distinct impression the person on the other end took an immediate dislike to him. we eventually got there and found chrities mfs had put it out, but every one had the feeling ohaleron would have been closer. when back at the station we looked at it, we are dual response whith morphett any way and  defaulted just befor we got the truck out, but no other brigade was called out. so dont just put the blame on the brigades,the captain came down bout 4 to fill out the 2nd inccident form of being called out as initial response to some were not in our area. also at that time in the morn if we had phoned the another brigade to say we were going in there area no one would have been there. we did the next best thing and told SHQ we were not the closest brigade and asked if morphett had been responded

if any one is on channel7 has a special on the canberra fires

I wasnt actually beings narky, or malice, havnt applied for mfs so im not vengent, it was just an hounest question. stop being so quick to believe things are an attack. its what i heard from one source, and i thought id try and get more info on the subject to decide my veiw, so thanks for the info, but yeah get off your box

ill look into it, nut i was advised but a tax dude that it can be done, might be a secret clause or something, lol
get back to yas l8ter

this might interest a few of you, i found it last week and is about tthe huge amount of failures in the personality test they brought in last year
http://www.news.com.au/adelaidenow/story/0,22606,20974342-2682,00.html

hope that comes out if not google mfs personality testing. its a news paper article.

also heard from a cfs captain that this last intak out of 14 12 were rellies of mfs firies with the other two just being not, i supose. is this the norm, like the father son rule in afl. silly question but its got me wondering. could any one enlighten me please?

Hs there ever been a sugestion that cfs vollies can get discount gym or some thing cause mfs do in the station and the coppers do, im not suggestiong put one in though if you beleive a few threads seaford will have one soon so i wont have to worry, but are there any incentives that have ever been put in place?
