ANyone here know how to get involved in air operations with CFS? Gonna do working with aircraft course in a few weeks and was wondering if anyone knew where or how I could get into air craft ops.
cheers. :-)
Its good to hear that you are wanting to go up in a aircraft and work from the air during a fire PF... maybe contact your regional office and see when the next air attack supervisor course is being held
Or even better why not get your pilot's licence and become a fire bomber pilot that way you can work from the air and still be involved with fire supression :wink:
:lol: nah I need to get my truck licence first.
Yeah might contact region when I finish the accreditation, I assume you can still be operational and be involved with air support.
Ive seen your type before, youre just scared of fire. You namby pamby sissy arse.
Toast maybe PF wants a new challenge like surveying a fire from the air and deciding what resources need to be placed where
:lol: toast. Mate Ive havent even been to a fire yet, and believe me I do want to. Jeez, I want to be MFS one day so cant exaclt ybe scared of fire :-P
I like flying and stuff like that and wanted to try out different area's of CFS, still want to stay operational so I can go to fires and call outs but also want to see different area's.

Daaaaads stop crushing my liberties!
But to be serious, P F I think you may have to look at moving into IMT and higher level incident dealings to be able to go into air recon and the like.
wow toast serious :-o
how do you get into IMT and stuff like that?
Even if I dont get into actual air surveyor wouldnt mind having something to do with it.

I believe IMT and the like its just time served, a bit of rank and getting your name put forward onto courses.
Give Uncle Wayne a ring at Athlestone Station and he will set you straight PF :wink:
wow, its easy to tell you three were bored. well uncle probies here now.
PF, do what your father says.
Go do a AIIMS course and that way you will be on the books for when there is a spot going. most regions are always looking for members who have AIIMS,region 5 is trying to get two ICS teams up and running which will be great for our region...
Or do something hat no one thought of.....contact SES Central Region training officer and ask if you can join the 'Air Observers' course which nominations are closing this month.
You would need to have the 'air crew medical' form filled out & commit to flying along the coast with the UniSA Shark Spotter plane.
The air observers were also used to track Pt Pirie flood water threat, amongst other taskings.
cool thanks, might head down to region HQ tomorrow and chase that up.
