fire hose in our building was checked by fesa 6-7 years ago, the only ppl checking now are the insurers for the building who send an assessor around once in a while to make sure its accessible. fesa actually rolled it and checked it worked and punched the yellow tag. Do you mean ' Layflat ' or ' Ho...

wow, talk about thread revival !

aparently they work on a bell curve with the successful applicants being the best of that years intake.. I think I went alright now, looking back on it - there was lots of mechanical reasoning, the maths was pretty basic stuff.. ( not super basic, but should be able to do in your head stuff ) - I he...

Tom, we only have the 1 scania and 1 light tanker.. but occasionally when the scania goes offline to workshops, we get other's.. I've got quite a few pics - but that's all I had at the time when doing the website.. I really have to get around to revamping it and putting fresh pics up now.. I've been...

I aint a super fit looking guy, that's why I'm training my ass off 3 nights a week with thai kick boxing, and running 30 mins the other nights..

I'll be miffed if I miss out on this entry... I'm working so hard to get in, It'll just break me if I miss out..

i believe that Red trucks are for House fires rescues etc and that the White/Yellow trucks are for bushfires. If the FRS actually had vehicles capable of going into the bush then it would be different, however, they only have the light tanker. U go to these FRS 3rd alarm fires and u hav half a doze...

Not as hard ? how so ? you do the initial application.. 1.) all in black pen. 2.) all hand written. 3.) 200 word assignment about your motivation to join, family history and your background. 4.) Include 8 passport photo's 5.) 1 original and 3 additional copies of the application. 6.) application mus...

caustic and fertilizer..

Nasty stuff, I'm still itching...

Lucky it was bright red when you washed it off ( I was decontaminating fire fighters as they left the hot zone )

I've just got home.. been out there all afternoon.. what a job !

I am a volunteer firefighter and the difference between 6ip and 6ar is that 6ar is for the paid fire brigades(frs) and 6ip is for the volunteer bush fire and volunteer frs this is so that the commcentre can distinguish between wether it is frs or volunteer brigades calling in so they know who they ...

Your previous post was, not your website - however, you might like to check your HTML under the "Roll Call" page :D Considering I've been a member of both the bush and fire and rescue services for a number of years, I've noticed that the comm's side of some of the rural brigades is a litt...

I think you'll find the old BFB comms procedures and guidelines were alot more strict and defined than the FRS ones ever were. The biggest problem in the past (and not completely gone yet) with the radio networks when linked and busy, were not people giving long sitreps but the stupid data transmis...

P.s Millsy, me and chris already have a print out given to us by the brigade, chris should scan it and put it up. JG, A73 eh ? :wink: That's my old stomping ground.. " Mad dog's " :wink: Don't you guys have the code list as a laminate on your passenger sunvisor ? :) - Chris ' The Townies '

as it's been said in previous posts, 6AR is FRS and 6IP is for the use of the bush fire brigades. You'll never hear chatter on 6ar as you'd get a right bollocking for anything other than 'proper' radio communications.. it gets quite busy and you've got to be snap sharp otherwise you're hogging the s...

I don't remember anyone on the forklifts or the radio saying bottles..

It certainly wasnt one of my boys, do you know what kind of a bollocking they'd get if they said 'bottle'

If you're keen to really know what happened, I can copy the incident report overview
