SA Firefighter

An aux pump on the pumpers is a handy thing,
when a group is called to a grassfire what do you think gets left behind?
its the pumepers! and i have heard of a pumper then having to respond to a grassfire. and even if they are going into a grassfire for asset protection they should have a pump that can cover their donkey while they move.

And why not,there is a purpose built space for them on the trucks.

Thanks 4 the concern guys.

I hav no plan to become a lieutenant anywhere in the near future.
I still have along way to go and like being at the end of the hose.
All i was suggesting is dont rule out the young guys on the fire ground. Because this is where they learn skills and techniques that someday in the future may prepare them to be a lieutenant.

Like i said before, ive learnt ten times as much on the fireground from other people than any course.

oh well not much u can do..........

I dont no why u guys dont like the youngens, there the future captains and leuitenants of brigades. im 18 have been a cadet since i was in year 7 and active fire fighter for 2 years. in that time ive been to over 250 callouts, and been incharge of appliances.

Being out there on the fire ground is where they are going to learn the most especially from guys that have been there for 14 years. I can tell you... ive leart ten times as much from other FF at jobs than any course can teach.
