Kalangadoo CFS

airstrip for the bombers

[Robert-Robert34]

Where would you place an airstrip for bombers in Kalangadoo camo  :-P

[rescue5271]

main drag

[Camo]

kalangadoo to glencoe rd would be sufficient i think

[fire03rescue]

You forgot the fire pole
Sorry Robert34 just having fun

[probie_boy]

ugh, I could smell the stench of sarcasm on this thread when I turned on the computer.

Nah, Robert, seriously....you're getting a skyjet. SAMFS heard your case and have decided to donate 205 to your brigade.




noob.

[Toast]

But but but.... 205 ISNT A SKYJET oh no! What ever will they do?!

[CFS_Firey]

Get 205 AND the skyjet!

[probie_boy]

yeah, thats exactly it. They figure you'd need 205 and a skyjet. hell, they're even throwing in 201!

[CFS_Firey]

I heard that MFS were considering buying Kalangadoo 34 as a replacement for 201... :?

[probie_boy]

yeah its a tradeoff. MFS' gain i think. Seriously, how funny would it be driving past wakefield street and seeing kalangadoo's 34 next all the other toys! 8-)

[PF_]

I heard on the grapevine MFS ahve land down there and are considering moving in.


IM gonna be a spanner in the fun and ask a serious question to RIb regarding Kalangadoo, feel free to keep with the fun.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What exaclty are the problems that are happening within Kalangadoo and Kalangadoo CFS?  Have anyone spoken to each other about the problems?

Robert, did you realise that beeping sound was actually the pager going off.  :wink:

Hope ya got on the truck & the town realised the service provided by the local brigade. Maybe an opportunity to point out that if local brigade was not there, how long before a truck could attend ?

[strikeathird]

Mingers.

[rescue5271]

Well I have been down and looked at the new helipad site and it looks good,the road airstrip is going in and the glassfront doors are on.. Only thing missing are members to man the appliances......

[Robert-Robert34]

Well P_F i cant exactly say what caused the rift between Kalangadoo CFS & Kalangadoo but it was alot different back in the 1980's cause the brigade back then was manned & run by the Kalangadoo Lions because nearly every meber of Kalangadoo Lions Club was a CFS volunteer

Our brigade have explained to the Kalangadoo township that we need new blood urgently but the town is interested full stop

But our problem is that most of the residents in our town are in their 40's-90's so if a miracle is to happen its gotta happen soon

[Robert-Robert34]

I like the sarcasm probie i think its funny  :-D but P_F asked me a  serious question so i was more than happy to answer it for him

[probie_boy]

yeah i know bro, just messin

[Camo]

But our problem is that most of the residents in our town are in their 40's-90's so if a miracle is to happen its gotta happen soon

Would that be because all the young people have brains and go somewhere decent  :-P

[Scania_1]

A lot of brigades face the same problem, people have to follow the work and many work away from where they live. Or young people move away to study etc.

[Robert-Robert34]

thats true ath but most of the young ones who i either went to school or high school with before they headed to uni are now back in Kalangadoo but are either working in Mount Gambier or on their parents farms

But its a problem us as a CFS brigade have to deal with

[PF_]

Im planning on doing the opposite and heading into the country (Keith or Brodertown), at least for a few years to complete my diesel mechanics apprenticeship then maybe head back to the city and try out for the MFS and or Go out to Roxby and work out there. 

Why cant 40-50 year olds be in the CFS brigade?  In the MFS the average is about 38-40 I think and Kalangadoo does not have that many call outs so can hardly be strenuous.
