I agree when i see this new logo i dont get the same feeling of respect and power i got from the old logo and this new one looks like an 8 year old drew it up in their spare time

Fire Fighting History / protective clothing changes
« on: November 23, 2005, 05:58:19 PM »
hi my name is james willcourt and i am doing a school project on the cfs and how it has changed.
My focus question is how has the protective clothing changed?

I have found it very difficult finding information on the subject on the internet and through reading the book Tried by fire i have gathered small amounts of info but not as much as is required.

Any information on the subject would be much appreciated 8-)

CFS Cadet Corner / Re: what is going on with cadets?

As a cadet i feel that yes some cadets may not be mature enough at 16 to become fully fledged firefighters but i have seen many a 20+ year old people gain entry into brigades, whom i beleive to be no more mature than a 12 year old with the mental capacity to match.
I have been a cadet for 3 years now and have developed the opinion that the best training sesions that i have been to have all involved fire.
But i beleive that raising the joining age to 18 will only lower the number of younger members joining

Country Fire Service / Re: Deployment Uniforms

I am just a cadet but from my short experience wearing a full uniform for long periods of time especially sitting down is not the most cumfortable thing in the world.
and wearing them on the way back is a little bit gross. :mrgreen:
