SA Firefighter

Got mine tuesday

Received an email today for payment

Is personality profiling the first step now?

Got mine at 330 today.. Hope you have better luck! Back to studying for me I guess  :wink:

Well looks like I'm out.. How did everyone else go?

Would have thought that the unsuccessful emails would have been sent if that was the case? Especially if some have already received them.

Nothing yet..

Feb 5th for mine

5 didn't rock up, 2 didn't have paperwork and 2 failed in our test today and there was still 2 groups to run when I left..

Didn't make it past aptitude tests last time.. I didn't really expect to make it that far last time either though haha. Far better prepared this time so see how we go  :-)

Ill give it a go.. Will be my second attempt

Which groups have been asked so far?

I've been told they will be doing another the start of next year

Strath Cfs isn't actually a listed rescue brigade and don't have an area at all.. Why they have rescue gear I couldn't tell you!

The CFS does a compartment course muscleandpluck.... Which I'm sure quite a few of the Cfs members on here have attended.. And have you ever tried to stay out of the smoke at a bushfire? It tends to blow in the same direction as the wind which funnily enough is usually the same direction as the fires heading!  :-o hard to believe I know...

Haha thanks for making that clear pip!  :lol:

20-06-13 12:14:17   1 of 2 Compton 24 appliance is offline and being decommissioned due to the problem it has. Can any available member please be at station just after 16:00 - CFS Compton Info

Anyone know what's wrong with it?

Probably end up like the mfs with a 5 year appointment? But yes I would love to see it keep going as well.. Wouldn't mind giving it a crack myself  :wink:

I was told it costs so much in study for saas and theres that many paramedics coming out of uni compared to positions available that they can just tell them if they want a job they have to go regional.

Minnium 2 years as a cert4... It sounds like it won't be around for much longer though..

QuoteHah.
What a joke.

An incident reported direct to a manned fire station is no different to a 000 call.
Of course they should have acted.

If someone reported it to a fire station asking for help then yes, notify Adelaide fire and get appropriate resources responded but if someone tells you about an already reported incident that other emergency services are attending it's not really up to us to tell them if they need us.. 99% of the time if the operator thinks we are required well then we get paged and most times its in a fairly reasonable timeframe

You had a car accident reported to you, and you failed to take any action?
Interesting in itself.

Really?? If it had already been reported and the ambos called why would they need to
Take any action? If they wernt called probably a fair chance it's because they were not required!

Yep they work in country areas but there is the odd place they drop out of signal
