Interesting subject.... Goodstuff CFS Firey
I believe other avenue for reimbursment should be made for 'volunteers' before you look a paying a wage. Firstly taxation on second incomes for a lot of vollies would make it financial productive.
Other options I like are, as said before by MCFSFF, Waving the emergency service levy, fire levy on rego, or other tax incentives.
I like your thinking. I believe this would be a better approach rather than paying members.
Or even if the government alloacates funds to a brigade so that you could go out together like a dinner movie night or something similar. This also causes issues because then your crew is out of area.
