So now the MFS go over the boarder with no water available and through a CFS town

When my brigade attended a House fire we where approached by a member of the public not happy no one knows why but he started to abuse us, as I was putting on my BA set he smashed me in the side of the head with something then as I tried to finish getting donned up he then punched me in the face. My husband was also trying to get donned up and was shocked by what had happened but we had to keep moving as we had three gas bottles venting. When the police arrived they took him away but did not charge him with anything pity.

Thanks Pip for that information, I have tried to get to speak to the BSO but they keep putting off the meeting until as they say when they have free time looking at sometime in mid July 19th or later

My Group start there in the middle of July some have done it before and said its a good one to do.

we have our information night in mid July so a few calls to a room with no in it might happen. We have no problem getting someone there in 4 mins

our group replace them every 10 years as policy or if they are not fit for purpose

was told if you have dropped them from the truck or on to cement they should be replaced straight away. Structural and wildfire helmets have a life span of 5 to 7 years well thats what my group have said then we have to replace them after that.

We have 87 as of tonight

From what I hear it was only a minor incedent, as the fire truck was doing a right hand turn on to another road a car passed on the right and the car behind that one passed them on the left. 

that makes almost no sense

What I was told was Fire truck was turning right on to another road, 1st car behind fire truck overtook on right hand side to pass the fire truck, 2nd car behind fire truck over took or passed the truck on the left hand side.

Thank you that one works on my comp.

In an area where I come from it can take two days after a severe storm, and that was for a house with the roof half ripped off. No other agencies where called not even the MFS who area it was in. They got told to p off

The police check should not take more than 15 days from the day the police get the form,having said that it can take up 2 months which is far too long..with the new BFF1 if it gets of the ground the new member while waiting for the police check to come back can attend training and can attend fire calls after a mentor system...

as for port mac and the mount becoming one group how about port mac/mfs and mount group all become grant group.....

Well we had to wait 12 months for one person to get his police check to come back because he was in the Army for a while around 15 years and the normal police had to see what the military police had to say about him.  I thought you could not even do BFF1 with out the police check. Nor according to the Chief Standing Orders are you allowed to get on the truck for callouts.
