Country Fire Service / Re: SPAM on GRN pagers

Mate... i'd be noifying GRN Helpdesk and keeping a note of what each spam message says, each time you get a spam message ring GRN Helpdesk... because that's the last thing we need is telemarketers attacking us on our pagers at 3am.

your spot on.. cfs will pay for some of you licence fee or if you live in a remote location ie far north they might even consider paying the whole fee ($110 for test in the far north) thats how I go my truck licence. it's worth the effort. and you'll be suprised at how much the brigade really does benifit from having another driver.

I wear one on a day to day basis with Mets. they are as good as turnout gear, depending on wether you get the long or short sleeve's they are 100% cotton and proban treated ours are blue button up fronts with yellow and silver stripping on the pants and waist/sleeves of the shirts only thing is wearing them in the office like now for example. they get pretty warm not hot but warm... try the below website link that might help you out a bit. as for the do's and dont's well same as your normal proban turnout gear.... it's either 25 or 40 washes then you may as well throw them away and get a new set as the proban will have washed away. primarily we deal with RCR and it's very suitable for this application provided your wearing the long sleeved version same with wildfire it would be ideal for this purpose, thats about it. when it comes to Urban Firefighting then the PBI Gold level 3 gear is the way to go.

well the Country Fires Act does give an CFS officer the power to remove person or persons from a fireground/incident/dwelling if they are hindering rescue/containment efforts and if life is threatend... SAPOL should and majority of the time will be more than happy to assist with this. but it's a touchy thing to do.
