The trend is looking "downhill"...so we have to expect this sorta stuff to happen more regularly and to more brigades.

can you explain what you mean?

(and what "sorta stuff" are you referring to?  lack of people management skills?)

Nah mate,  but your spot on, its all about personailities..

Guys,

CFS have looked at this prototype.

Not sure how much further it has progressed. 

Just remember I think that this vehicle would not be cheap to build due to the technology in this appliance.  The next question would be how its reliability would be with all this extra electronics. 

Overall nice truck, but would like to see it on the fireground for 12 months before making a real opinion.

I wonder if theyve ever considered trying to loan neighbouring state's appliances....we could share ours in the same manner.....makes each state aware of the options!

Uh oh, looks like someone doesnt understand the Aust. Standard.

Tell me how L3 pants and an L1 Coat thus makes the ensemble compromised below the level of L1? Its all about the lowest level of protection you're wearing.


Simple.
L3 garments do not have the metabolic heat dissipation function of L1 garments. Therefore, your L1 protection is compromised. 

Same is true of using structural helmets at bush fires.

Remember your basic fire safety - not all hazards are external.

And yes I'm in a Group which only issues structural helmets.  :-(

I'm with the PBI gold side of your post, but structural helmets....or "higher level" protection helmets are the Go.
