Thankyou for clearing this up. I understand now. Cheersobserver wrote:So when you refer to a FESA unit, is it a Bush Fire Brigade, SES, FRS or even life savers? All play different roles and have different responsibilityes. So which one would attend a chemical spill, which one would attend a drowning at the beach, which one would attend storm damage?jasonjag wrote:No need to understand anything or define exactly what is what,,,all belong to Fesa, one way or other.realfirie wrote: Not being picky but people need to understand that they are all seperate sevices with there own seperate identities and all perform different roles.
What you do not understand that each identity would like to be refered by it own identity, not the generic FESA. Ask any SES, Bush Fire or FRS (staff and vols) what they are called and NONE of them will answer FESA. By calling any of these entities FESA is provoking the people who put a lot of time and effort into each of these entities.

Country FESA units
There are units out there guys that are just FESA. Usually based in smaller country towns where the same people turn out for bush, structural,SAR or ambo duties. I was a member and my partner the Captain of the first one in WA.
It really is time to let go of the differences and just attend the training of one if you so desire but have cross training available if you enjoy that.
The blurring of job description lines gives better governance and hence better client resposibility.

- bush fire brigades managed by local governments
- career Fire and Rescue Service stations
- volunteer Fire and Rescue Service brigades
- State Emergency Service units
- Volunteer Marine Rescue Service groups
- Volunteer Emergency Service units - use to be called a FESA unit which consisted of a dual registered brigade involving frs,bfb and ses. mainly in country towns where the population was not great enough for the 3 services so members would be involved in all 3 under the one brigades registration - Currently only 15 registered throughout the state eg Halls creek and fitzroy crossing.
They all have there own budget and management
No big deal, but the 3 main Volunteer Sea Rescue Groups in WA (Freo, Cockburn and Whitfords) are not part of FESA. The rest are though.
