Saved a lot of people, huh ?
FYI
SAFECOM are currently auditing fire stations within CFS.
He did not know if work was going to commence immediately or if this was a report to ascertain how good or how bad things are.
Witness one of the CFS career staff who was a member of the union here.....now is not. I would suggest if it were possible for anyone it would have been him.
i dont know that the lack of money for station/equiptment maintenance is quite as statewide as some think. ive personally witnessed plenty of work going on in a station near by to me and i guess this work isn gettin done for free...
Jaff, I agree that volunteers need to look beyond their own little patch but I do want to know how united/ state wide some things need to be?
I have hears some great plans of standardising a whole heap of stuff in Pt Linclon but strongly disagree with that those ideas for my applications in R1.
Even though we all fight fires, the differences in both risks and attitudes about going about those risks changes all over the state. For example at a recent meeting it was mentioned that in the rural areas along the riverland 20 min for a truck to arrive was acceptable. It is still a response. But in the urban fringe it is viewed as highly unacceptable some brigade like to maintain <4 minute. A state wide plan doesn't work. We still need to recognise that there are differences that must be accommodated.
G'day Jaff
Which "Big Picture" did you have in mind ?
You are correct that the issues are political in origin.
Ah numbers, some dont like to be told how it is but you have summed it up perfectly of course

Choice, ey bro?
Good grammar & English must not be a pre requisite for getting into the Army. As long as they can shoot a gun, there will be no need to know how to spell it.
...what i meant was is the CFS powers to be on side with this??
We are providing a free service,
Comrades, lets DO something to fix this problem!
Fox must work for the CFS, hahahaha
So why can't Mt Barker get theirs replaced, being on a major freight corridor and with a massive rural area to look after....sigh
Air bags aren't standard stowage, and anything thats isn't standard stowage obviously isn't required...
Not standard stowage is the constant rhetoric a former RC use to say to justify why you could'nt have it on the appliance.If CFS did an audit on what is carried on some appliances they would get a rude shock, but why brigades cant have equipment on the appliance to suit their response area and terrain, to fulfill their "Duty of Care" to the community is a joke.
We all know there are other factors that cause new members to drift early...
pack of 50 candles and a roll of double sided tape worked for me.....
cheap as bro....came to $6.80 at go-lo....
