Helicopters can't do everything !!

but for everything else......charge up the Government Mastercard and get some time with the big DC10 and 45,000 litres.....at the cost of a small country per hour

If we stopped buying new PPE and trucks we could afford more helicopter time.....hmm....might send a suggestion to the Chiefs......i mean we're supposed to come up with cost saving suggestions arent we?

NOW your getting the hang of it!

ffs...lighten up Francis....T.I.C

Any of you homo's touch me... or my stuff an I'll kill ya!

Time Difference equals how late the trains are...

A time difference in alarms going off in two different places that are unconnected?!?! MEIN GOTT!

An occurence that over time will be called "the Higgs Boson effect"

We have the exact issue that you describe Bajdas, in fact are probably one o f the southern brigaes you describe, we have a constant stream of people wanting to join, but we can only take so many, and simply don't have room, we will be very selective, and some will be dissapointed, or angry, as they don't get it, CFS is seen to be losing members yet we are knocking people backk.

Darren this maybe true of the more peri-urban brigades, but sadly it certainly isnt for the vast majority of the state!

Jaff, my post said the short term answer is to move an appliance.
Anything like an amalgamation in the CFS will take forever

Agreed! But an additional Urban appliance is the preferred option!

Forever has no end date, I think amalgamation will be progressed way faster than that, sorta like a parting gift I rekon!

Can you spell.....A M A L...G A M A...T I O N?

DEH overachiving once again..

The above DEH overachieving once again is a quote from zippy!  My question to y'all is, You have a set area to burnout in a predetermined time, to keep up with a scheduled burnplan and it starts to spotover,

(1) is this poor fire management as seems to be suggested?

(2)Or is this just one more part of the job, that we risk manage?

Me I am going with the second option, for my money that is why we brief crews beforehand on the importance of keeping a lookout!

Thoughts?

Remember kids this year you don't have to upsize your aerial response,.... no more ...."would you like a air attack supervisor, with your bombers?" Yessiree its all done for you......aaaaahhhh progress!
_{Pssst.....apparentley the Salvos are getting in on the act, now your spam meal comes already in a spew bag,... don't tell anyone!}

Pasky Hay Storage fires quickly becoming Region 2's version of KI, happens every year

Unfortunately their firebreak around the outside is not as well established as KI's.

FDI's barely reaching 20-30's.....its just Hot, not really dangerous...

But.....But......But, the SES have issued a warning and........your'e right who listens to them anyway

Not sure of the official status .....but I do know, that runny brown is bad!

Out and proud......

The things you learn on this site....shakeshead.....baaaahhhaaaaaaahha .haa.. ha.h.......sorry

or maybe some places have a really good SES and have no need for chainsaw!
