(we mean no disrespect by the way Rob)

[Robert-Robert34]

Thats ok P_F  i am glad that this thread came up as it steers my off subject views away from important topics  :-D

[medevac]

So what do you actually do down in K'doo robert?

[Robert-Robert34]

In terms of what our brigade does medevac we deal with rural,structual,industrial and vehicle fires but quite lately it has been quiet and when i mean quiet there isnt any fires happening

I know that we wont get a huge increase of callouts if issued with a chainsaw but SAPOL just wants us to have one just incase there are load of trees down after a severe storm even though Wattle Range Council deals with that kind of thing

As for me well you could say that i might have gotten a good reputation after programming Meningie CFS brigade's scanner as from what i read on the paging site that they were gonna put up their external antenna tonight before or after their meeting

[rescue5271]

Hey Robert,I came across a sign here in naracoorte is that your for programing the scanner in the plaza???

[pumprescue]

Robert I noticed on the promotions website you only had 4 jobs last year, was the a quiet year or you doing more jobs now?

[Robert-Robert34]

True we only had 4 callouts last year due to the summer being much cooler in the 3 months after the rare 2 calls in one day event during January I'm not sure if we had any fires @ CHH last year but its just merely the case of people being careful

Yes rescue5271 that is my flyer up on the plaza community notice board as I'm hoping to get more customers from other towns wanting to get their scanner or scanners programmed  :-)

long story short pumprescue to my knowledge we've had the same amount of calls this year but i could stand corrected that we have had more

[medevac]

busy busy busy

[Robert-Robert34]

Thanks for clarifying that medevac but to tell you all the truth i miss getting pulled out late at night for a fire call as it doesnt happen... last year while i was working for Green Corps my pager sounded late at night for a reported RCR but nothing was found

Thats the only late night fire call we've had in the last year or so

[Mike]

Dont knock it Robert.... Sleep is good!

[Robert-Robert34]

True Mike and to be honest i dont think of of getting out of bed on a cold & foggy night even though it is my job but were only volunteers

jeez, anyone would think that sleep is your mortal enemy or something. Spare a thought for some of the busier brigades before you lay your head down for a good full nights rest! :-D

4 Calls a year?  Dont go pushing that old 34 too hard it might not last much longer.

Just having fun

[F.B.R.T]

With all those calls a new 34p would be on order wouldn't it!! :-D

[Toast]

In all honesty.... You can have our Pumper. I mean, it works great and all... I promise... honestly... I swear on the Bible... its NEVER broken down.

[Robert-Robert34]

Our 34 has been around since the late 1980's so its done alot of kilometers and plus seen action around the south east and western victoria

[Camo]

With all those calls a new 34p would be on order wouldn't it!! :-D

Nah easily qualify for a type 2...maybe even a scania!
