Hey all,
Sorry if this is the wrong place for this post.
I'm A firefighter of 6 years in Winnipeg,Canada, and I really want to do an Exchange for a year, as does a buddy of mine who's also been on 6 years. If this is possible and you are interested, let me know. I really hope this is possible!
Thanks and stay safe!

Tell us more - what kind of stuff do you want to get into over here? Structure or bush fire? Road crash rescue? Hazmat? I'd head to a brigade with a huge number of calls in what you want to do and just sign up as a vollie! Or do you want a paid transfer? Not sure MFS could organise it, but someone might be keen if skills/training can be transferred - try HQ.
If you want to do an exchange, I'd suggest you get in contact with one of the paid/full time fire services in Australia.
Adelaide - http://www.samfs.sa.gov.au
Melbourne - http://www.mfb.org.au/
Sydney - http://www.fire.nsw.gov.au
Brisbane - http://www.fire.qld.gov.au/
These would be your best bet.
Goodluck!
Tassie fire service have a on going exchange with the canadian fire service.
