Some include

Auspine
Green Triangle Forest Products
Timbercorp
ITC ( i think)

ITC = yes, part of Wattle Range group.

Timbercorp = no. They put slip-ons on their utes. Some have been CFS/CFA trained, but are not a brigade & don't seem to have really regisitered their existence with the CFS. They are also instructed by their hierarchy not to fight a fire unless it's on Timbercorp land (for insurance purposes).

Have seen some larger Timbercorp appliances. Looked like ex VIC NRE Isuzu`s.

Yes, you're right uniden. I remembered that half way through the avo.

*Olympic Dam Emergency Service
*National Parks and Wildlife
*Forestry SA

OD emergency services isn't affiliated with SACFS at all, we have Mutual aid agreements with them thats about it, but on say that word on that grapevine is that may change to a Leigh creek setup.

Moomba I believe now has a brigade,
Pip

I am lead to believe, by a relative who works at Moomba, that all their emergancy responses, training, etc, is done by Santos Fire and Emergancy Services employees. I may be wrong, and if so I will stand corrected, however that is what my cousin told me.

Thats correct, the ESO's at Moomba are their own "service" so to speak, and have nothing to do with the CFS.

Affirmative about Moomba, they are hired through Chubb.

RescueHazmat · « **Reply #231 on:** July 27, 2007, 10:07:38 PM »

Are you sure? .. - I know that is the case at Whyalla at the Port Bonython(sp) SANTOS site, but thought the ESO's at MOOMBA were santos employees.. ??

You could be quite correct though...

Alan (Big Al) · « **Reply #232 on:** July 28, 2007, 10:16:31 AM »

One of my mates is going for an eso job up there he put me down as a referree and a lady from chubb rang me up.

Oh ok.. Learn something new everyday..

RescueHazmat · « **Reply #234 on:** July 28, 2007, 03:10:14 PM »

Just speaking to a mate from Moomba.. - He is under the impression that the Fulltime Firies are SANTOS employees, but Temps or extras are sourced through Chubb.. some then offered permanent positions with SANTOS after a duration of service..

lol.. This is a good trivia question anyway ! hehe

Alan (Big Al) · « **Reply #235 on:** July 28, 2007, 04:34:53 PM »

Yeah that sounds right as he is applying for a 3 month temp job with hopefully fulltime work to follow

Robert-Robert34 · « **Reply #236 on:** July 28, 2007, 04:49:43 PM »

Where do i go and sign up as i've been after a job like that for ages

RescueHazmat · « **Reply #237 on:** July 28, 2007, 05:52:07 PM »

Unable to just "signup" rob. - You would have to apply when the positions are advertised. - Keep your eye on the paper or sites like careerone and seek.

- Goodluck.

Alan (Big Al) · « **Reply #238 on:** July 28, 2007, 09:50:18 PM »

Or have firefighters from your station in the job

You mean what station has a pokies licence, or which station has room for pokies? If the latter is the case, I agree with 6793264, Multiple!

rescue5271 · « **Reply #242 on:** October 25, 2007, 08:19:54 AM »

No I mean which brigade HAS attached to its station a pokies venue...

Crankster 34 · « **Reply #243 on:** October 25, 2007, 01:52:44 PM »

I'm going with Morphett Vale, they have a bar, function centre and pokies connected to their station. I think it's all part of the same community club facility.

bittenyakka · « **Reply #244 on:** October 25, 2007, 05:34:12 PM »
