Not a pager message but the weather conditions @ 13:30 hrs at parafield airport. Also going scrub fire at Glencoe in the SE. Kalangadoo is in action, awaiting report for robert on this one!!

That would have to have been at least 12-13 years ago now.

yeah up there once a week also......dont think it has actually gotten green this year

Went to the Mount the other week and the grass did seem a little bit brownish around Keith way.

Anyway, do people think the CFS should re-stripe the entire fleet to the red/yellow checker so we dont look like a half-assed fire service?

i live practically next door to the fire station, so i usually just leg it there during the day, and not really read my pager and if it is a test i just socialize with the people at the station testing stuff.  :-D.

What happens at night? Do you drive there?

Why is it a joke? CFS 24P appliances back up MFS a lot and while they struggle to supply enough water to the Scanias they still do an okay job. Better than having no trucks at all protecting the area, dont you think?

But they are the poor, retarded cousin of a proper pumper.

Maybe if the CFS stopped using the excuse that the MFS are there you dont need a pumper there would be more of them :?

i dont think your brigade ever does COQ does it PF?

SAlisbury CFS did the change to Pt Adelaide.... presumably 32's appliances were either staying in area or covering somewhere else...

Both Salisbury MFS appliances were at the Port Adelaide fire.
I think also Salisbury CFS cover Salisbury, Pt Adelaide and Largs for COQ.

looks good,do all new 34p come with the monitor?

ATTENTION LUKE AFTER YOUR COURSE CAN YOU PLS CONTACT THE GAY CAPTAIN
What the?

Don think you get a choice whether you get flash hoods or not. Might pay to check with your regional office.

why would you take your pager with you on a school camp :?

CRANK

would be good for car fires. Pull up and blast away.

From the SAFECOM act

18-Group Elections

(14) For the purposes of subregulations (12) and (13), if 2 candidates have an equal number of votes and 1 of them must be excluded, the person presiding at the election will determine the question by lot.

Have been at an AGM where the vote was tied, they decided who got the position by lot, as above. The only strange part was the person who's name was removed from the hat was excluded and the name in the hat won.
Stange way of doing it. Cant work out if every thing was above board in the mentioned election why they would have to vote again  :?

You think the fire service would be called to this  :?

Have to disagree Bill that truck is too godd to sit around as a spare.

It can sit around in our station as a spare  :-D

Wouldnt mind seeing their argument for needing one though.

We had the BA cylander put in under the back seat the other day and we have found that when we get in we kick it and turn it on by mistake. Does this happen to any other new 34 around?   :?

Why did you have a BA cylinder put under the seat?

nobody

mmm been waiting just under three months now, hopefully it should be here soon, they told us at the time it would be delivered around the end of jubne... so fingers crossed.

Last time we asked we were told early july. Not sure if thats this year or next. :-D

Are'nt these appliances supposed to be fitted out with the best of the gear that come in off the retired trucks? I know when we got our truck changed over some of the hoses etc were still very good usable hoses.

When will CFS crack the 500 mark for a brigade i wonder.... :roll:

Dalkieth got reasonabaly close last year about 459?

Ended up with 367

Might be just info nights? Someone else might have some more info. Either way they will probably never get the data base right.
