wife is in cummins at the moment and said the sky was aglow with the number of farm burnoffs last night, looked quite spectacular i believe, no wind, some moisture in the air, perfect paddock burn weather.... Not sure about todays weather though, did they control it easy enough?

« on: March 04, 2009, 08:40:19 AM »
My unit trains on a weekly basis, it is a come if you can type scenario. I believe you are expected to attend at least two trainings a month and 50% of the call outs are preferred, otherwise you can be considered as a non active member and hand back the pager, not sure what CFS vollies do on training nights but SES training is always varied and interesting.
Point is, you can never get enough training as long as the training situation is varied, no point doing same casualty rescue week in week out. Same for CFS i guess, no point doing just a basic drill, have to mix it up and add some extra variations to the exercises, makes it interesting and makes you think...

From one who has tried to gain employment with the MFS in the past, it is an interesting method of selection when ranking is based on interview scoring.
I am a self employed tradesman running a very successfull business, i apparently dont interview too well and hence after three attempts am still working for myself. People around me cant understand why i havent been employed yet. All comes down to how well you sell yourself on the day. Know this though, i will be there having another go next year and the year after that until i am told, Thanks but no thanks, you dont fit the bill.

As an uneducated person in the ways of firefighting vehicles, can you tell me the difference between all of the aforementioned appliances, what do the MFS drive and are their vehicles suitable for a kind of cross over vehicle between urban firefighting and country firefighting?
Go easy on the criticism, i honestly have no idea of the differences

@ action 9
Looks like you have been cab ranked for future drill squads scheduled for later this year or early next year. believe at least one more drill squad to be run after the two that are currently being filled have finished.
Its not a bad position to be in.
I got the other email saying that i have been unsuccessfull following the interview and please apply againn next time.
Here's hoping it will be lucky fourth time for me next year.
Good luck with the process

The HR department are very strict on policy this year as they have been in the past, as someone already said, they want 100% or you are not good enough.
I beleive the application form is another area where people get culled, just for the simplest of mistakes,. The lesson here is , be prepared and do all that is required and then some.

Hey topjake, how did you go?
What time tuesday were you, i was at 0845.
Where did you hear that Uniden? I was under the impression that they had reverted back to their old system of cab ranking enough for the drill squads that they have allowed for the financial year.
