SDI is not the only factor that determines if it is going to be a bad year or not.

jonesy what courses are they? Are they been run by career staff at the training centre or are they internal courses at station? The one i did not last weekend but the one before, Co-ordinator was acting DM South Coastal, Trainers were CFM Swan and Area Manager Pilbra. The one I am doing at end of t...

Good luck in actually attending any course at the moment with only 1 month left in the training calender cos of this stupid ban that the careers have at the moment! Thats why I attended a course last weekend, a guy from my brigade has one this weekend and I have another at the end of the month. Can...

I know that some brigades/ shires make it a compusary course for crew leaders. I agree with you, was definately worth doing and very informative. I did it this year aswell and coming off the back of a couple of significant fires last year it re-inforced some of the concepts details, and highlighted ...

The thing that scares me the most is being tasked onto a job and not knowing if the other crew in teh sector know what the hell they are doing. Been in the situation where people have frozen when the got think, and later addmitted they had now idea what they were doing. I am not saying that I am fan...

I agree totally, but we can only do the best we can with what we have. I spent 5 years in Tassie an where the WA service is now is where they were 5 years ago. However, equipment has got better, training is slowly improving.

I can only speak for my area so..... Equipment, Yes. How do i know this, i pushed it pretty hard this year to get fixed. Our First responding appliances are up to scratch for sure and ready to roll. Training, well. The training is up to standard, its just the fact that the memebrs have to attend for...

Pity we are way off on both accounts

Its the old case of training??? What is training??

Hi All I know that at the end of each course, members are asked to fill out an evaluation sheet that is supposed to help improve the course..... but there seems to be limited amounts of feedback getting back to brigades re courses. So, i thought it may be an idea if members on this site who have com...

And there is a number of areas that should have went up last year that didnt, and are now going to be even bigger this year. I hope all you guys and girls out there have you gear ready.....

and the adds get longer and more frequent at peak times of the day. Just waiting for them to start putting adds on the movies channel during the movies.

The only reason I watch it is the fact that my flat mate had it put on, otherwise there would be no way in hell i would pay for it...

There are a few versions kicking around on the internet. However, i did see a new version at a training course in July, I think i wrote down the address so I will have a look for you when I get home. This one is a good guide, but there are plenty of others about - same principle, just different inte...

I understand what you are saying chris in regards to the rockingham area and those scenarios but I am still not convinced. Where do we have to draw the line in the sand??? How much is enough??? Do we have too much already?? Yes, as you stated, if we get something big anywhere, alot of resources will...

Interesting..... Port Kennedy hey.... Can think of many other surrounding areas that doesn't have they coverage that PK does. Yes, addmitted that it would be 10 minutes or so for CFRS to get there from Rocko, but VFRS station 2km away. So, have we got to the stage now where we have to but career sta...
