Willbe interested to see how that goes. Will it be for comms support like the regional ops brigades or for fire suppression with their own appliances and/or crews??

It is a support brigade, to assist with admin and logistics in HQ during bad days and big jobs. It is open to anyone that is interested, I believe Mick Ayre is the brigade Captain so give them a call if pushing paper and pens in the big house is your thing.

Hey Could that brigade accept normal FF who for a temporary reason be unfit to go out to the fire ground? I am well and fit but for example if i sprained an ankle and could still do support work would they be able to accept temporary help?

Thats a tricky area if you are on workcover. Can get a bit complicated with what you can/cannot do, especially if its workcover from CFS.

But if your treating doctor / physio gives you a certificate, which says the things you are allowed to do, and sitting in a radio room or command type set up, off the fire ground is deemed suitable work, then CFS can hardly refuse to allow you there!!

in that case you should assist at your station or group base.  I believe the idea for this SHQ support brigade is to recruit from the metro area rather than poach existing CFS members.
