Re: The future of selection and training...
Following on from my original post regarding the future of selection and training, I've noticed that NSW Police Recruits self-fund there initial training. (for the benefit of others - NSW Police is not related to DFES. To my knowledge DFES is not adopting this approach) Quotes from the NSW Police Re...

Please correct me if I am wrong but NSW Fire and Rescue will turn out 2 pumps to a structure fire and if it's confirmed as a 2nd alarm will mobilise another 2 pumps plus an aerial! A 3rd Alarm property is classified as 6 pumps, 2 aerials, SET with the local inspector. But before you get too excited ...
