SA Firefighter

This is what Mr Crossman said.
I am driving a strategy to attract more applications from suitable people who are from ethnically diverse backgrounds and females.  At no stage have I considered lowering standards of entry.  This is a very specific job that we do and there is a physical and behavioural type that make the best candidates so the best people will be selected.

I actually agree with Ferrret, any retained get into the third squad?

I'm with you Bull. Flyonthewall I'm saying the retains that wanted to go full time in Metro went for the same process as everyone else did. They had to apply for both positions as the retained for regional was only for regional. Both same process. If you get through both then you have to choose what you are going to do.

Most of the retained staff who went for the job that i know were only planning on going for regional full time and the ones who wanted to go to Adelaide applied for both positions. I don't think anyone intended on trying to get in through the back door.

I'm pretty sure the union was trying to lock up Pirie and the Mount for retained from here on in.

Yeah and then let them come to the city after 5 years having gone thru an easier recruitment process (due to sheer numbers).my guess is the delay is due to the guys seconded still have a couple years to go on their original 5yr secondment and things may be getting messy

They always said the retained staff will get scheiße canned for going through the "easy" process like you say. I don't think its much easier when you are competing against 40 firefighters who already have knowledge of the job. Still have to go through the same processes as everyone else and the Union looked carefully at the this.

What is 2011 running as?

I have taken the numbers out as not to share

I also found this interesting. Why would they need CFA radio's? wouldnt they use GRN aswell?

You think it will happen? I think it may work and may be a good idea but what is the realistic approach of changing it all, its a big step.

As the Adelaide metropolitan area expands, things change.
Salisbury and Seaford are CFS stations that have changed.
Personally, I think Dalkeith & Mt Barker will change in a few years as well.
On the other side, MFS retained at Peterborough, Wallaroo, etc could change as well.
my personal opinion only

What changes do you think?
