SA Firefighter

Im a cadet at barmera station and we have recently been given a new 24p which has had a few minor problems with the pump but apart from that it looks great and runs hard

As far as im concerend it shows a distinct lack of state pride and it just doesnt sit well with me

After all This is The SAcfs it is hard to deny that sa is the best stae in this country!!!!

I agree when i see this new logo i dont get the same feeling of respect and power i got from the old logo and this new one looks like an 8 year old drew it up in their spare time

hi my name is james willcourt and i am doing a school project on the cfs and how it has changed.
My focus question is how has the protective clothing changed?

I have found it very difficult finding information on the subject on the internet and through reading the book Tried by fire i have gathered small amounts of info but not as much as is required.

Any information on the subject would be much appreciated 8-)

As a cadet i feel that yes some cadets may not be mature enough at 16 to become fully fledged firefighters but i have seen many a 20+ year old people gain entry into brigades, whom i beleive to be no more mature than a 12 year old with the mental capacity to match.
I have been a cadet for 3 years now and have developed the opinion that the best training sesions that i have been to have all involved fire.
But i beleive that raising the joining age to 18 will only lower the number of younger members joining

I am just a cadet but from my short experience wearing a full uniform for long periods of time especially sitting down is not the most cumfortable thing in the world.
and wearing them on the way back is a little bit gross. :mrgreen:

Gday my name is James willcourt and i am 15 years old and a cadet at the Barmera cfs station. I am currently doing a school project on the changes that have occured in the way that the cfs approaches and fights fires.

Any information would be much apreciated.
I can be contacted on my email Oldmanwillie@hotmail.com

Thanx :wink:
