SES have always been a USAR response, but your right, recently they have ahd a lot of money poured into upgrading both training and equipment...

Hi there all

Our core business (responses) within the CFS has been rapidly changing over time, I think most could relate to, vehicle accidents etc are now almost outnumbering our fire calls.

We now have a new enemy - Terrorism.

With terrorism we as Emergency Services workers are now are working on the front line.  We are not responding to grass fires with mother nature having the controlling hand - but now we are responding to idiots whom think they are doing right picking random targets, causing carnage and killing.

as a request please CFS we need additional training to educate our volunteers - This is a unseen enemy and we need as much information as possible.

Great call Wayne - yes we need additional information on the threats that confrunt us everyday!

Obviously your brigade is one of the 40 across the state that have met their competency standards (SFEC), for the rest of us it would be nice to have access to the training to just meet these first or even to have the people who want and desire additional training!

Nice to know about the other threats, but nicer still to deal with those that we face every single day!!!
