Summer Crew Jobs 2008/2009 Fire Season

[KDOO_BTO]

UPDATE: I have got a nomination form off of my brigade captain and filled out the personal details/course name and will be handing it to the Group Training Officer so he can look for a plantation fire fighting course for me to undertake

Robert How come I'm getting phone calls from stan because he is severely pissed that certain brigade members are not following the correct procedure and going thru their Brigade Training Officers. Stan is a busy man and does not appreciate having you calling him annoying him when you are supposed to go to your BTO. I am at training every wednesday night and if you actually turned up you would find it easy to get a nomination form from me.  Also your Chainsaw certificate fax was unreadable and stan would like you to give me a decent readable copy of it so i can pass it on to him next time I see him at a course.

Perhaps a personal message would be a little more appropriate for that kind of post

I hate to say it Robert but you walked right into that one...

[Zippy]

Can we have this thread possibly Truncated, back to "good discussion", but ey, not much to talk about regarding seasonal work lol

True, though it does make it clear that the saga is not as simple as Robert portrays. I have a sneaking suspicion too, that a personal message would be like water off a duck's back.



How bored we must all be for this topic to get to its third page!!!

In any case.....

Getting close to the time to lock the thread and move on with our lives i reckon, unless anyone has anything useful to add....

Kdoo may only be a small brigade but we have three members who are with Auspine tree farms. Glencoe has had at least 2 members with Auspine and another 2 members where up fire towers last year.

Now come on Katrina...Dont all CFS firefighters have a summer job?

Maybe Katrina can join robert and start applying for some summer jobs, I'm sure robert would enjoy the company. They could spot Fire towers together maybe. oops there goes another fire tower..................................and another.

Not all of them, and nor do they all have a paid, seasonal, firefighting related job as she asked...

[Katrina]

Thanks Numbers!
Thanks Ringer the idea of me and Robert spending the summer together spotting fire towers ?? (I don't think there is an image showing someone rolling around with laughter is there?)

Disregard that Firetower 1, it's just exhaust smoke from K'Doo 34 going up a hill with a crew of 2 and half!

You mean:  Hmmm, was it a fire tower, or a phone tower?
