Many brigades/stations are experiencing a quiet year (financial) for call outs , not that its a bad thing. Anyone hazard a guess at why ? Maybe better home fire safety and more awareness of rural jobs/hazards with the events in Victoria..Or maybe there is no reason..
I would think it is just luck of the draw. My brigade is up, we have already done what we did last year and have had half as many AFAs.
Work station has been busier.
CFS still getting near on the 300 mark.
At CFS we're about to hit double figures, and work is nudging eleventy billion...
Foxtel Consumption is up 35%
'Soft Porn Fridays' have been apparently cancelled by Fox/HBO :(
Shift is 110% pissed off
Gym usage is stable at 23ppm
Cookup's are suffering due to econmic restraints, we are down to 10kg of meat per cookup for the shift
S/O's are grumpy 0.68% more often
SFF's are old, crusty and angry 110% less often (The planets are aligned this year?)
Truck washing is up 98.6% with the onset of a new appliance in station
FNG/Shitkicker/Probie pranks are down 0.001% Due to "Non bastardisation" rules (haha)
SACFS Staff are retarded - no change
34P's still look like they've had a scrap metal yard blow its load all over their back end
SACFS Pumpers... HAHAHA
SACFS Appliance/Equipment R&D... VERY quiet year/decade
Phew! What a year...
We're significantly down on calls this year as well. I think it's just luck...
