Well Infamous, I hope you found what you were looking for with some of the replies that you got as they did not go beyond the first sentence of your original post. Besides the stock standard replies for MFS and CFS (come on guys learn to read all the information not what you want to see). As you indicated your in either Year 11 or 12 and doing IT.
Besides the short term work with Parks SA and SA water which is rather competitive and even some hardened SA fire fighter struggle to make the cut. If you are into something a bit different and it also caters for your gap year idea and provides travel, with IT in it to boot. Have you considered joining the Army gap year program which has a fire fighting specialization.
Yes I know it sound violent but thats the image that TV portrays all I can say look into as another option as not everything in the army involves seeing combat duty.
