Since I am a newby, can anyone tell me if there is a website or on-line catalogue etc that shows products available from the "CFS Shop". I am intereseted in things like T-Shirts, turn out gear bags etc. Is there an acutal shop or do I need only to ask at my brigade to order gear?
Have you Heard of Fire and Rescue Australia? They are located in Blackwood, and the owners etc are also CFS members. They sell in apparrell, clothing, etc.
Yes The Fire & Rescue Shop At Blackwood Is Quite Good. You Can Get The Normal Fire & Rescue Tops & Other Stuff Its Worth A Drive. They Do Have A Website (http://www.fireandrescueaustralia.com/), However It Does Not Contain Much In The Range Of Stock. Another Thing I Don't Like Is That Its Not Open On The Weekends. Well It Is Sometimes But Not Normally. I Have Driven Out Of My Way A Couple Of Times As I Was Wanting To Go & Buy A Few Things & Its Closed.
The CFS Shop (http://shop.firedirect.com.au/Firedirect/catalogue/c190/category91) has been going for a while now (although I'm not sure how long they've actually been selling stuff... I notice they only sell merchandise with the new logo too :(
Has anyone bought anything from them?
No, but I believe they are from interstate?
yea i bought a pager holder from them once, but there is not really that much stuff there.
Based in Victoria and also sells CFA stuff...
I was waiting for someone to elude to the fact that CFS Shop is a Victorian operation.
The government sends everything else over the border so why not that as well.
All I can say is BUY LOCAL PEOPLE :mrgreen:
just go to Blackwood, they have good stuff.
