So where has the VFBA been offering to help the paid staff?? I have not read or heard any of this and I have been getting emails from the VFBA that support Volunteers not the paid staff.....

The VFBA exec officer was on radio saying that they wanted paid fire fighters. Thats where.

you're still flogging that dead horse I see. You ranted on the sacfs yahoo group about the VFBA and had several VFBA people reply offering to contact you to explain it all but obviously you didn't take them up. The VFBA published the transcripts from the radio interviews so you can read for yourself exactly what was said, if you wanted to know the facts of course.

Crank, tell me, are all SACFS personel rescue, CABA and Hazmat trained... no.


You werent talking about quantity trained.  you were talking about quality.

I was referring to training and in your last comment you were referring to quality of crew.

You Said "In terms of response times, appliance capabilities, training and quality of crew, CFS can simply not compete with SAMFS for Urban response."

It coped fine when it worked, had nothing to do with the type of truck it was.

Bums on seats for CFS doesn't mean they are actually trained to tackle any job they respond to, so MFS have that advantage from the get go. Not 1 CFS member on this forum can tell me that they can garuntee they can get 4 BA to every call, or RCR or Hazmat, just in case no one has realised, we are volly's !!!!!!!
IF I want to go to the movies or out to tea, I am going, if 10 others do the same thing then all of a suden we are in trouble, thats how it is. You add that scenario to a growing urban area, which equals more calls, then all of a sudden the community is at risk. No matter how many B shifts, or whatever you run. There is still no obligation to respond.

But I will still keep responding when the pager goes and I am home.
