Hi All

I draw your attention to the user agreement and ask that everyone please read the guidelines and the agreement.

Please only post in threads if you can add value to the discussion. This is not your personal play ground to incite or inflame.

Please use this site as it was intended to create honest fair and fun discussion based around emergency response.
Do not hide behind anonymity to say things you could not say around your organisation freely.

This is not gossip central and must change now or the site will be closed.

Continue to have fun and let's all change our attitude to this site.

Thanks
