should CFS volunteers get cheeper registration on cars

[YELLOWS_2]

Should CFS volunteers get half price regestration off their private cars, cheaper council rates or pay cheaper emergency services levy as an incentive to stay in the service so we have not as much burdon on our backs as volunteers?

[probie_boy]

it would be nice.

but...

a) people will then fraught the system by joining and then doing the absolute bare minimum.

b) it will never happen. ever.

[fire fighter kiki]

Good point there YELLOWS we Volunteer our time cars fuel.... money for rego we should get some sort of deduction off of some thin you mentioned. But then would we have a problem with members of the public abusing the system? I believe we should get things like that a bit cheaper but you must bee in the service for a certain amount of time before it comes in to affect.

idea 10/10 :-D
going ahead 1/10 :-D

[backburn]

You could monitor the callout or other things they do so no one will rip the goverment off say a swip card to show who turns up all the time.

[Camo]

Dont like your chances but i believe the CFA discount scheme works well.

P.S should this really be in the samfs section?

[corecutters]

Would be a nice incentive(sp)..



Off topic... FFK and Y2 wouldn't be the same person would it?


Just a pattern in posting i've noticed.

corecutters is strikeathird. what a funny coincidence that the day i question corecutters persona, strikeathird returns!

however did that happen? :roll: :evil:

[Alan (Big Al)]

Aparantly striker registered in 1969 :lol: :lol:

[corecutters]

Your right, I am strikeathird.. However, I have no idea who re-registered as the strikeathird user, and am attempting to find out with the moderators.. So if that account does post.. It's not me.

(and I don't have multiple accounts active at the same time, just incase you were wondering... :-))

Bit like firetruck probie ;).. Got tired of the last account..

But as fun as it has been, I move house at the end of this week and will no longer have the internet, and can't access at work, so everyone have fun, take care, and stay safe !


*smiles*

[probie_boy]

YES! i was right!

woo, me and PF and CFS_firey were right.

go striker!

[corecutters]

3 lofty lads... :lol:

Look out !  lol




:mrgreen:

[Alan (Big Al)]

I reckon CFS Firey has a bit of inside knowledge though :wink:

[corecutters]

Considering we talk, thats pretty inside if you ask me...


Any way, like I said, I'm moving thursday, and won't have the internet , so I hope the forum continues with the idea's and discussions I have seen it develop since it started, and hope you all take care and stay safe..


See ya'll at the big one !

It will probably be a while mate, don't have a connection at the new place, and it's not my house, so will see how we go.

[Mike]

Take it to 'off topic' boys and girls.... keep things on track ;)

[William]

of course when it gets used for a purpose

[CFS_Firey]

Back on track....

I agree with cheaper registration...  It could easily work, especially if its not widely publicised...  After all CFS volunteers get to be heroes too, but I don't see many members joining, but only doing a minimum just for that benefit... :P

[SA Firey]

The VFBA originally put forward an idea when the ESL came out for us to be exempt from ESL...but the answer was that it would be too hard to police :|

And look how much money the government is saving by us free firefighters,yet we have to beg,to get equipment to save lives.
If it wasnt for the community we wouldnt do it :-D

[Pipster]

So, if CFS Volunteers were given cheaper registration (or a discount on your ESL) what sort of criteria would be applied?

Would people simply have to be a registered member of the CFS to gain a discount, or would some other criteria apply?  If so, what?

Pip

[fire fighter kiki]

I would think they would have some sort of system set out where you would have to turn out to so many call outs training nights and meetings to qualify and set it up some way or how so that people just don't join to gain the benefits if ya know what I mean!! :-D
