CFS Courses
loopylou:
I believe that you will see these courses being available or having RPL availability in the not too distant future. That's the word from inside the STC offices.
PUAFIR309A - Operate pumps
PUAFIR206A - Check installed fire safety systems
PUAFIR302A - Suppress urban fire
6739264:
PUAFIR206A - Check installed fire safety systems
So are CFS then going to issue Sprinkler Kits to all relevant brigades?
Good god, we wont know ourselves!

it's been shelved due to water restrictions
chook:
PUASAR003A - Undertake technical rescue
PUASAR004A - Undertake vertical rescue
PUASAR005A - Undertake confined space rescue
PUASAR006A - Undertake trench rescue
PUASAR007A - Undertake structural collapse rescue
Sorry Numbers, I think you missed one - PUASAR 002A Undertake Road Accident rescue
However don't you think these competencies are better served by the SES Rescue branch of SAFECOM? - Sorry mate have to stir the pot :-D
What you suggest is again more duplication, I know you want to be the "person of the minute" but really when you said in another post " a bowline is ok to lower someone short distances" really makes me wonder whether you guys are best placed to undertake high risk RESCUE activities. The Portuguese Bowline is the only suitable knot for the lowering of people - check your manuals!
Also it was your service who didn't want USAR, to participate in USAR level Two, Technical Rescue, Confined Space Rescue, Vertical rescue skills are required.
The skills gained then mean you can do trench & structural collapse.
Then you would want more gear, then what?
Instead why not focus on what you guys are good at - fighting filtered fires?
You want heavy pumpers, aerial platforms etc
When is it going to end? As I said in the post on BBF1 check the RFS training web site, its certainly does not cover everything you do however at least they are getting there & they DON'T do rescue! If you want to be a rescuer do yourself a favour and join SES :wink:
Cheers

Some MFS appliances now carry confined space BA sets and harneses. Some of the hatches you see that are marked confined space only, you would need to be a string bean to fit in there..lol.
