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.
