Hazmzat 206, I'am sure that some of your posts were reactionary, to what you feel may have been digs at the MFS by "seemingly" just volunteers and by the looks of your edit, captured by numbers 7:31pm post, you perhaps had cause for a rethink. Hopefully you get the chance to work in with the CFS and you will come to realise that, they may not be paid, but they are for the most part professional in their attitude and action, granted some are oxygen thiefs, but you get that in ANY organisation.
As for your comment on "fighting a grass fire in the sticks", sign youself up for a campaign deployment, as many of your MFS coleagues have, you may change your mind on the simple grass fire notion, if not bring marshmellows, their part of the standard stowage on CFS appliances
.
Lastly remember that when you post you have NO idea who you are having a go at, taking the piiss, no problem, personal attacks, problem, so play nice
