Training Hazmat Operators in non-hazmat brigades
OMGWTF:
Good for your brigade getting them, but sorry, id love to know how this buullshit happens when there is not even a HAZMAT resource in your group or surrounding area for them to respond on, except for MFS, who should be using there own equipment....
And yet there is no money for training for brigades who actually need it...

One of our nearby CFS Hazmat brigades have been struggling of late, so Region put forward a proposal to allow some members from a couple of brigades in the Mawson group to train in Hazmat and dual respond with that brigade when they can't get a crew. I believe the same thing is happening in a number of Groups in Region One, this is just stretching it out a little further as the Group that the particular brigade is in may not be able to provide enough people themselves.
OMGWTF:
Curious as to which brigade?
As the only ones anywhere near you are Eden Hills or Willunga? Which is quite a distance?
[Not having an individual go at MVale [or at least meaning to] i just think its crap is all]
Heavy Rescue:
I heard Willunga were struggling for Hazmat crews to turnout to jobs, the first offer will be given to any Kyeema members but so far there hasn't been a lot of interest, so Morphett Vale and Seaford were offered the chance to train some members. As Matt B said, the idea came from Region.
With the removal of Hazmat from Yankallila there is now more of a reliance on Willunga to get a crew for these jobs, there is nothing else on the Fleureiu apart from MFS at Victor and Strath CFS.

There are already a few HAZMAT trained operators in the Mawson group.. I know of a couple in Happy Valley alone.. (I am one of them).
