Not unless they phone me - we have a 4 week roster system which as much as possible we stick to, otherwise not everyone gets a turn.

We have (roughly) 6 people on each rotating 4 week roster, if a crew change is needed then they start phoning the people not on that roster, but the roster crew get first crack which is fair.

Not at all! Otherwise I'd have to stay sober every weekend :) Plus this way with alot of active members we can pretty much keep a rotating crew going for days (if neccesary!).

Whiteman Park - apparently the tram is safe :)

They found that tram, its being protected... yeah but u need more than one bush fire brigade, u cant expect frs to put out a massive fire like that, ud need like 80 frs brigades, meaning only 40 lts and 40 pumps sitting on the side of the rd, get more bush fire brigades attending !!!

Now can u's see the point me and chris have been "whinging" about !!!

Someone is goin to sue fesa one of these days when they lose property because fesa didnt send enough appliances to stop a fire such as this one, and its goin to be because they didnt want to use bushfire brigades :?
