It'll be good to see such a professional bunch of blokes, doing what they do best...     :wink:

As long as they don't air any car fires in Punchbowl, I'm a safe man!  :-P

DAM,DAM..... We dont get nine down here will have to ask someone to tape it for me each week......Or I better come and work back in Adelaide for a little longer :roll:

[CFS_Firey]

Golly, whoever wrote the blurb doesn't know much about how the fire service works, or even much about the fire service it seems (They even left the "s" off the end of NSWFB!).  Lets hope the TV show is a little better...

[Red Message]

Speaking of the blurb, it does make for some great reading:

A fire officer gets a 000 alert and our crews are right there every step of the way.

Fire officer? Welcome to politically correct land I guess...

This series will deliver real-time stories of hope, drama and jeopardy, mixed with heart-felt emotion and fascinating NSW Fire Brigade procedure.

Yes ladies and gents, our procedure is fascinating you had better believe it.

"Watch this week as the Men and Women Fire Officers at City of Sydney Fire Station reset a fire alarm in a Hotel, mere minutes after resetting one in a Brothel, mere minutes after having their dinner interrupted"

Were you having chicken or beef for dinner? Im told it makes all the difference!! :-D

Speaking of the blurb, it does make for some great reading:

You missed:

.... fascinating NSW Fire Brigade procedure. struggles with emotion, and who puts on a tough facade?

Good sir, (or perhaps blurb-writing officer?), sentences are supposed to make sense and that last sentence does not.

[rescue5271]

may be it was the same person that wrote FIREFLYS?? Must be a NSW thing :roll:

[Bagyassfirey]

be awsum if they did somethin similar in S.A.......

[boredmatrix]

there's only so many alarm calls that you could fit into one episode tho.......


:evil: :evil: :evil: :-D

[RescueHazmat]

:lol:

[Red Message]

Ah, but atleast you would get to see the entire SAMFS fleet at every alarm call!

[Bagyassfirey]

Episode 1.. " The various members of the crew sat at home and at work today, it was a typically quiet day, the Pager never sounded, the station doors never opened, and life went on.."

-Compared to the NSWFB, I know what I'd rather watch..

[bittenyakka]

Not a hard choice is it  :-D

[bittenyakka]

no hang on we just need the camera crews to be filming when DEH deiced to light a prescribed burn :-D :-D

And it would be called "Out of Control Burnoff in Progress" :-P

[Red Message]

So what did we learn from last weeks episode?

A) If you have a red helmet, you don't need to wear correct PPE.

B) If you have a camera crew up your clacker, wear your uniform 'correctly' to a stupid extent.

I wonder what we'll see this week  :wink:

[RescueHazmat]

- That Australs/Varleys should *all* be replaced with Scanias!

[SA Firey]

Ah bugger missed this weeks eposode hope they release it on DVD :?

[Zippy]

"..there is petrol EVERYWHERE and they are surrounded by car wires and pieces of smashed battery..."

Lol...omg we're gonna die!

[Darius]

Ah bugger missed this weeks eposode hope they release it on DVD :?

I missed it too but I wouldn't worry, having watched the first episode I don't think it's too hard to predict (surprise surprise it's a fire service responding to calls and the cameras/producers playing it up!).  It certainly reminded me why I don't watch commercial (or hardly any) tv - beats me how anyone can put up with all those adverts.

[CFS_Firey]

This week, we learnt that Vehicle accidents are explosive situations, it's ok to spray power lines and transformers with water if you do it in pulses, and cars parked on the street could engulf the neighbourhood if not extinguished quickly.
Exciting stuff.

[boredmatrix]

and cars parked on the street could engulf the neighbourhood if not extinguished quickly.

especially when they're parked next to a metal fence.....and just a lawn for the 30 metres the other side of it before the house...



...oh bugger...I just admitted I watched an episode of this shi te.........

[CFS_Firey]

I thought introducting oxygen to an oxygen starved fire was called a backdraft, not a flashover...?
