SA Firefighter

I think some of you have completely missed the point, I was talking about brigades not being responded to INCIDENTS in their OWN brigade response areas. But some of you have obviously experienced this others have not, the rumour is that the 30 MFS responded brigades will be moving to SACAD in a months time and I find it difficult to understand how SACAD is going to fix the problems when there has been little or no consultation in terms of areas and things like who we think would be the closest appliance at certain times of the day, I mean lets be honest the people that know our response areas best are US. I will believe that SACAD has fixed our problems when I see it.

You all need to realise what whinging tools you sound like, and making so many speculations and false statements for really no apparent reason, the BMI rule is a fair rule and it only ever bumps one or two people a year who are not overweight or obese but body builders and the likes. You seem to find the ones that whinge over these matters are the ones that fail the medical. The BMI level has been raised over the years also, and I think you will find that small petite people will be restricted by their doctors (with half a brain) also because carrying 27kg on a small frame can cause serious back problems. slag me if you like but if most of you look deep inside yourselves you know I am right.  

Hey Firetruck stop using my nick name for other people

I am a "female" and have been a CFS vollie for 6 years, when i joined my brigade there was 2 women and one was a 1st lewy, many of our brigade members are from the old "school", where women should be at home etc... and I had to prove myself more than my brother who joined at the same time, my captain of the time was very supportive of women and so is our current one. I don't understand why there is such a stigma about "women" and being on the frontline at major incidents. I recall one of the first strike teams I attended I rocked in with my appliance got off for the briefing and in front of everyone one of the brigade captains asked me what I was doing there, women don't come on strike teams, when I looked around I noticed I was the only female there. If someone says something like that to either a male or a female there needs to something done about it, it is not acceptable in the year 2006 for this to be occuring.

For starters CFS are NOT allowed to tow vehicles with their appliances according to a new COSO and if something gets damaged when you are the CFS is not liable.

Are we honestly going to be another RAA, when these calls come in the operations centres should be directing the calls elsewhere.

Honestly people is it really worth getting out of bed at 3 in the morning to go and get some person that has bogged themselves out of the POO when it could be done by a tow truck, when life is in danger yes i agree, but in a normal sitaution NO.

More often than not in our response area we only hear about vehicle accidents that SAAS attend when one of our members frives past and sees them there and we respond ourselves

Does fire cover and stabilisation mean nothing to these people.

Ours

Fine

Winner

Any one can get the volunteer you just have to be on the mailing list, I know of other organisations other than CFS that get it not sure about SES though but take Mengs advice and email public affairs.

Cheers!

The bags of PBI Gold up at STC are no longer in bags because they are the new CFS Training sets for CABA and CFB, I think someone would notice people walking around the fire ground with CFS Training written on the back
