[Robert-Robert34]

I know it sounds concerning Toast but in my time since becoming a senior fire fighter in 2000 i have been to countless fire calls so i've decided to sit out this time around

[PF_]

Youse only get two or three calls a year  :lol:

[F.B.R.T]

"Countless Firecalls" :-D
Depends on what you can count to!!!!! :-)

[Scania_1]

If I was in a brigade that had 3-4 calls a year I would make sure not to miss out if I could LOL :mrgreen:

you are a strange man Robert, i just cant understand you decided to just sit through a callout, even though you were able to attend. whatsmore you got 9 callouts last year, and seeming though you are a senior you should set a good example. :?

[Alan (Big Al)]

Jesus Robert some of us do 5 or6 jobs (Maybe more) in a day and if were available we still go????? Dunno buddy you got me stumped as well.

[fire03rescue]

What were you doing on the internet Robert :?
Did you find out how many others went to the call ??
They might have thought the same as you, stay home

[Robert-Robert34]

Well fire03rescue the others who didnt respond wednesday to that scrub fire  would have responded last night

[oz fire]

Robert - wake up, the pager has gone, that means the community needs assistance!

Your are not a credit to the service with that attitude! Nor are you a credit to the men and women of your brigade and your an insult to the thousands of CFS Fire Fighters who give up work, social time, rest and play to attend in their communities time of need.

maybe it's time you reassess yourself and your commitment to CFS!

Are you REALLY SERIOUS????????????

[fire03rescue]

Robert how can you tell that the other were going to respond ??

[Darius]

perhaps there's more to it than he's letting on.

PS. I guess you found those missing hoses on your new truck then Rob...

[F.B.R.T]

Dingadalingadalindadaling.....I can hear those Banjo's playing now!!! :-D YeeeHaaaa

[Camo]

what was the call out anyway?

[Robert-Robert34]

Yesterdays callout Camo was to a tree fire about 6km's out of Kalangadoo and plus our brigade did get a crew the ones who werent able to respond on Wednesday night 

[Manuel]

well what if only two turned up again,  :? seriously Robert, if you can respond, RESPOND! as they say don't just stand there, do something, I cannot believe what you are saying.

[rescue5271]

Welcome to wadin valley,a town where bob,cookie and the sarg run the place like a mad house.....this weeks episode will they roll?????

[medevac]

hang on... your telling me that even though only yourself and a looie rocked out for the first call... you 'chose' not to go on the second one...


your pretty special rob... especially considering all the complaining you do about how short crewed Kalangadoo are....  :roll:

and we wonder whats wrong with this fire service....

[firetruck]

well, purely for reasons unknown to both myself and everyone else here......i'm gonna come in to bat for robert here. maybe it was because last night i travelled the SE on a bus, even through the almighty kalangadoo, in a sleepy delirium. either way, i feel some sticking up is in order.

this is a brigade where a maximum number of around 10-15 calls occur, in a GOOD year. So 2 calls in a week is a pretty big F'n deal. All I have to say is that if rob didn't want to go, who cares? Just because there are members on here that would crawl out of a bed when riddled with cancer to go to a fixed alarm call, doesn't mean every other person should follow suit. I agree, sure, don't be one of those people that sits there and goes "oh, i don't think i'll go because i'm microwaving my dinner", but sometimes, you just flat out don't feel like going to a call. We're volunteers for a reason, sure, but not all of us want to completely devote every waking minute of our lives to the CFS.

Then again the man i'm sticking up for was the one who was trying to build his own appliance, so who knows.

overall, cut our mate rob a little slack, we're here to discuss goings on in the CFS and elsewhere, not play schoolyard bully and pay the heck out of him. We've all said some rather stupid stuff on here, its a fact of life, maybe we should all just sit back and laugh a little on here.

[CFS_Firey]

Good call firetruck!
Its probably also worth noting that rural brigades that aren't that busy don't operate the same as busy urban brigades, and shouldn't.  You can't apply your busy brigade principles to a quiet brigade and then get abusive when they don't follow them...

:)

[Toast]

Good god its all happening down in the 'doo! filtered hell Robert, brush the cobwebs off the BA sets and get cracking!

But oh no! So close, yet so far!
