2006 Royal Adelaide Show ‘CFS Fifteen Minutes of Flame’ Expression of Interest
It’s show time! The SA County Fire Service (CFS) has had a longstanding involvement with the Royal Adelaide Show held annually at the Wayville Showgrounds. Following last year’s success with the inaugural ‘Fifteen Minutes of Flame’, the CFS has once again been invited by the Royal Adelaide Show Executive to participate in the 2006 Main Arena entertainment program.
The CFS has agreed to put on a nightly presentation from Friday 1 to Saturday 9 September. For nine consecutive nights the CFS will entertain and educate a crowd of around 8 000 people for 15 minutes every night. By the end of the show, approximately 80 000 people will have seen the CFS ‘perform’ in the main arena. For this reason CFS Public Affairs has chosen to put all their resources into the production and management of this main arena presentation and will not be hosting a fixed display site in 2006. Having a fixed site in the past has served the CFS well and will continue to do so in future years.
Volunteers have always been an integral part of the success of CFS involvement at the Royal Adelaide Show. Expressions of interest are now being sought from CFS volunteers who are keen to participate in this exciting opportunity in 2006. The presentation - titled the ‘CFS Fifteen Minutes of Flame’ - is an energetic, professional showcase of entertainment aimed at promoting the CFS as a modern, highly sophisticated organisation.
Volunteers are sought to fill positions ranging from operations, communications to staging and ground support. CFS personnel must meet the following requirements in order to be considered for the presentation:
· Be a suitably qualified firefighter with competencies ranging from Basic Firefighting Level 1 through to advanced firefighting techniques such as flammable liquids and road crash rescue
· Be available for the proposed rehearsals on 19/26/29/31 August and three or more of the nine nights from 6pm-9pm Friday 1 September to Saturday 9 September 2006
· Be able to meet CFS personnel physical and psychological guidelines and adhere to the CFS Code of Conduct
· Have clean personal protective equipment
· Have transportation to and from the Wayville Showground

To register, send your ‘expression of interest’ to CFS Public Affairs:
Email: [email protected]
Fax: (08) 8463 4234
Post: PO Box 2468, Adelaide SA 5001
Your expression of interest must include the following details:
· Name and return contact details (including phone number, email and postal address)
· CFS Brigade/Office
· Number of years as a CFS volunteer/staff member
· List any CFS courses you’ve completed that are currently valid
· Advise of time available: Royal Show Main Arena 1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9 September and Rehearsals 19/26/29/31 August
Expressions of interest must be submitted by 5pm Monday 7 August 2006. While positions are limited every effort will be made to include as many volunteers as possible. Due to rising fuel costs, the use of CFS Group vehicles for transportation to the show from outer rural areas is encouraged. Notification will occur by return mail so don’t forget to include your contact details in your expression of interest.

They Weren't Running Cyclinders, They Were Just The Suits With The Side Zip Left Open For Air, Unless He Did It Up All The Way It Shouldn't Have Happened. I Was There All Nights & Didn't Hear Anything About It.
-
Yeah, he just copped a bit of the heat and small space of the suit. Don't think he'd worn any Hazmat gear previously. It was a bit dissapointing that they didnt let anyone don last year.
-
I wanted to go but with family and work this year no,but may be next year..I only hope they do another good DVD and may be rags could run the clown over.....
-

Are they still looking for volleys? Or is it too late?

To be honest i could have done it last year but didnt know i was gonna be asked to attend an ETSA aptitude test in Adelaide on the very same day :wink:
