To all CFS Brigade members,
I am intending to produce a professional video commercial for the CFS to help recruit new volunteers for the fire season and am wondering whether anyone across the state can provide any amateur videos (we can use them :-D) or recordings of:
Pagers (new/old)
Sirens/Lights from any new or old appliances
Trucks leaving stations
Scene Footage - shot with iPhones or small cams of small incidents like grass fires and 'mopping up' etc (No MVA's etc)
Truck footage - Appliances: Pumper, 14, 24, 24P, 34 and 34P etc ***Preferably new appliances***
Thank you to everyone who can contribute.
Anyone? Even if its just from a callout like a fire alarm....
Remember this is dedicated to the CFS!
Some of my videos.
Tone 7 on the Samsung pager - SA CFS pager - Tone 7 alert tone. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZWPEJ_fEDg#ws)
Apollo pager - SA CFS Apollo gold pager. Firecall alert tone. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3Q8CufkO1Y#ws)
I this an official video commissioned by the CFS?
No not commissioned by them. Just something I intend to put together.
Considering the changes to social media policy, those of us who may or may not have cameras and may or may not have footage, photos etc, might be a little hesitant to supply it. Especially for something that is not official.

Sure- I reckon I'll have to be a bystander and film it if I'm serious about getting footage etc :-)
I kind of thought you guys could bring something like an iPhone with you (by the way i'm not a CFS volunteer as much as I would like to be - hopefully in a couple of fire seasons time :D)

There is one already

Wonder what music was used on that? Excellent video by the way.
outdated 24 appliance though (with old stripes instead of checkering)
Also that pager on the video has the older tone, mine has the one in the video HeavyRescue posted
SA CFS Apollo gold pager. Firecall alert tone.
Mmmmm promo video for the cfs and its an outdated appliance rather than the latest and greatest, and a crew responding in super slo mo to extinguish someones bon fire..... certainly doesnt inspire me.
I agree Alex, it's a very one dimensional approach, and hardly all that inspiring. I'm assuming it's the product of the paid media/pr staff. Its a great example of how far we have to go to stop going backwards, let alone move ahead
WE are the god damn bushfire service, now don't you forget it !
Spoken like a true RC there pump haha
