[rescue5271]

Well its almost that time of the year when the man in the red outfit will be popping into fire brigade Xmas party's,so what do you or your brigade want from the man this year.

Carbon Fibre BA Cylinders, new BA Sets. That should do to start with...

[Robert-Robert34]

A uniden digital trunk tracker scanner and a GME TX3440 UHF Radio  :-D

[Zippy]

a do-it-all person to fix up 34P :)

No-one stupid or drunk driving....everyone safe & well so NO callouts or incidents...that mechanical systems (eg waterpipes & fire alarms) do not give false alarms....all on-call & on-duty staff can relax and sleep.

Any callout or incident means someone is hurt, injured or upset...lets wish for peace & quiet..

[Robert-Robert34]

I would like the pager to sound on xmas eve cause my parents both went to fire calls on christmas eve when they were active members so its my turn  :-)

[Alan (Big Al)]

Robert never wish for that mate!!

I just want my new golf clubs to arrive from the US before christmas :-D

Oh and a nice new urban truck in our station :roll: :lol:

[Alan J]

Enough turn-outs to keep the troops interested, motivated & on-the-ball, but without actually doing any damage to anyone or anything.

Every year.

I would like for communications to & from HQ all the way down to brigades to be watertight & comprehensive - everything we need to know about being communicated fully, frankly, & timely. 

And vice versa.

I would like an immediate trebling of CFS budget so that all the training & equipment & comms & process backlogs can be instantly & meticulously fixed to the satisfaction of all volunteers & staff.

I would like enough beer so I can at least fool myself into thinking any of the above will happen in my lifetime...


(you asked...  :-D )

Well I would like for xmas to wish you all a very merry xmas and for those that answer the call of the pager or siren you are not alone,this time of the year is always a busy time for any emergency service. I dont want much for xmas other than to see the faces of my children when the open their gifts on xmas day then the wife tells me how much its all cost me this year.....

I would like to see the fire service get back to what it is here to do serve the public but at the same time provide better comms and appliances for its volunteers to carry out the duty's of a fire service.....

Better communications between the services
