Country Fire Service / CFS facing lawsuit over Black Tuesday
« on: December 19, 2007, 07:19:35 AM »
Hi all,
woke up to the news that we are now all going to get sued if mother nature decides to have a bad day, can any one who's closer to the top confirm if this is accurate and if so whats every ones thoughts??
my thought is that there wont be a volunteer fire brigade very long if this is allowed to go through its rather hard all ready to recruit vollies cant see adding you might get sued to the recruitment drive helping out any,
i think that this would be mightily unfair to the local brigades who wouldve no doubt been trying their hardest under the most trying conditions to protect as many assets as they could,
as for the local farmers and such who lost property its been drummed in our heads to be prepared YOURSELF for a bushfire as there will NOT be a truck at every house shed etc. and there is plenty of evidence that a well prepared farm, house, shed or even caravan can be saved very easily with a little planning.
over all perhaps they would like to see how the next one goes with only farm units.
*my oppinion only*
