Yes it has been confirmed and is true, the competitions for 2006 have been cancelled.

That's unfortunate!  :-(

I know alot of the kids were really looking foward to it too.

i agree,the other day i posted a new topic "one fire service"

Regardless of organisation, isnt it ALL of our objective to protecting life, property and the environment from the effects of fire and other dangers?

:-D

like I said... they're working on it ;)

I've been giving Mike a hand with this, and just let me say that these kids have done an outstanding job and have come along way in a very short time span. Most impressed!!

Well done kids!!!!  :-D

Intersting anomaly - with a CFS brigade 3 km away, who would you respond and in what time frame?????
PS - Renmark to Berri approx 20km

Says a lot about their database doesnt it...if they are not available nearest fire service(Paring a CFS should have been responded for sure)
Notice the gap in default....obviously not 4 Minutes for MFS :evil:

Would have hit the fan if it ended up being a going structure eh :-o

Berri is back up to Renmark in this case because Paringa do not have enough BA operators, and is SOP within SAMFS. (Berri are fairly quick to get to Renmark also, they don't stuff around).

It is SOP for Berri to back up Renmark for almost every type of call, as I have already mentioned this is SOP set by powers above. Paringa also have a fair distance to cover to the border, they don't need to be pulled out of their area unless they are really needed, although saying that they were called out Monday last to assist in a scrub fire and Berri change of quaters to Renmark. So it's not as if they don't ever get responded into Renmark, it's all about response coverage, training levels (CFS) and SOP's.

yeah saw one at the pedal prix race at Murray bridge.

No no, down here in the city, we don't pedal our appliances.

owned.

shame they've stopped making that colour territory, they were nice looking rides

Apparently they weren't the best handling vehicle. It seems that the new Nissan's are a much better choice, favoured by most driving them. The only unfortunate thing about it all is that it's an import.

It was the unavailability of red Ford Territory's.

You will find that the replacements are Nissan's, in the same colour as the red Territory's. They look very nice i might add too, watch this space and I will post up a pic soon.
