Country Fire Service / Paid CFS staff as Officers in Brigades
« on: January 20, 2008, 06:28:56 AM »
I've heard a bit of banter around the place in regards to CFS paid staff being Lieutenants and Seniors in Brigades and some Regional Commanders not being keen on the idea, to the point they wish to stop it!
The negatives I’ve heard are some people are not keen on the idea as they believe that they hinder the progress of the brigade as they are tied up with the political red tape of being paid staff.
The positives are most of them use to be a volunteer and still are, the operational experience and knowledge plus the management skills they have gained from being paid staff.
What’s everybody else’s thoughts?
