SA Firefighter General / Roof Fires
« on: December 30, 2010, 04:51:05 PM »
Just wondering,

Have they ever attempted to develop roof space sensors to detect a roof fire? as there have been recent examples that have caused considerable damage. I'm assuming by the time the owners know there is a fire in the roof space it has allready well involved?

Hi all,

Was wondering how the SAMFS view training from external agencies that deliver the various firefighting Certificates/training? Is it recognised and do you have to do it all again if you joined the SAMFS.

Fire Fighter Training / firefighter training syllabus
« on: December 03, 2010, 05:46:27 PM »
Hi all,

Was wondering if all firefighters are trained to the same syllabus or standard?

Does SAMFS training match CFS. Obviously there would have to be some differences, and are these two services the only agencies that provide such training i.e. can you get training through government education such as TAFE.


Cheers

SAMFS / Job Satisfaction
« on: September 23, 2010, 09:39:50 PM »
Hi all,

Just wondering as to the amount of job satisfaction that guys feel they get from being in the MFS. I have been given mixed answers such as "You see people having really bad days" e.g. not that much job satisfaction?. I'm interested in a job that makes a difference not just $$$$$, not into an office job for a big coporation which it's top priority is making money for the shareholders.

Cheers

Hi all,

Just wondering what the go is when a volunteer firefighter is injured in the line of duty. Does the government pay for the medical costs and any rehab? what happens if the worst does happen?. Has anyone had any issues with regards to getting looked after.
