07-07-14 23:16:21   REMINDER TRAINING AT STATION TONIGHT 1845 HOURS. TC MATT. - CFS Weetulta / Nalyappa Info

Note time of page...

It comes down to core business. As I'm sure we all know, majority of callous in these areas are urban in nature. Plenty of brigades in surrounding townships to handle the 4x4 work, leave the red trucks for asset protection. The CFS don't seem to be too interested in urban firefighting despite the best efforts of some. Let them "take the lead" in the rural firefighting.

And nothing stopping the Mets painting a 34 Red. There are already a few red 4x4 rural's around. Crews can also be bolstered by retained ff's, depending on the make up of the station crewing.

A year on from your posts gents and we keep seeing the same nonsensical fleet management decisions.
New 34P for Hynam (1-May-2014)
New 34 for Yacka (17-April-2014)
New 34 for Alma (13-March-2014)
New 34 for Bangham (Febuary 2014)

The list goes on... :|

Having MFS there won't really help the problem.
Just some more spending of money that the government doesn't have. If CFS can't get the funding for a new heavy pumper, what hope is there for MFS to get two pumps there + the extravagant station and the salary for the full-time crew of 6. Much cheaper to buy Mt Barker a pumper crewed by vollies who are quite capable of offering the same service. The incident rate is too low anyway to have a full-time bunch of MFS guys crewing the station doing practically nothing all day. What a waste of money.

Mt Barker should at least get an Iveco like Morphett Vale and Naracoorte. Isn't Fraser building any more?

Speaking of money wasting, a little off topic but, Hynam received a new 34P... No offence intended for the good folk of that brigade but... A new 34P with 4 BA sets in a brigade that averages about 8 calls a year, really CFS...? If the state government want to look at cost savings in the emergency services sector, perhaps they can start with the fleet management of the CFS. How about new trucks to busy brigades then, run in, well looked after trucks rotated out of the busy brigades and sent to the 10 call a year stations. Sorry, beating the dead horse.

As for the MFS perhaps wanting to create a continuitus red truck corridor in the increasingly populated communities along the SE Freeway between Adelaide and Murray Bridge, what a revolutionary, forward thinking idea, how refreshing it is. Are we surprised brigades might want out of the CFS system if there is a chance.

Any ideas??

The rally against the government not including Volunteers in cancer compo thing.

A rally to highlight how we attend the same type of incidents as the MFS and are exposed to the same hazards, yet the CFSVA want us to wear YELLOWS! Surely wearing PBI (for those that have it) would be a more appropriate dress code to demonstrate our similarities to MFS and why we deserve the same legislated compensation should the unfortunate happen.

The general public recognises our yellow PPE, joe public wouldn't have any idea we have PBI gold...

That's kind of my point B donkey. We are not just a bush wacker service and this public perception (and that of some within the service) needs to be changed. More and more CFS is called upon to attend 'urban' type incidents, and not just in the urban areas.

Flametree  if we were to have such an event the paging system would be up the creek as well.

If such an event were to happen many of us would be heading to the station, page or no page. (ensuring the family is safe first of course)
