Sorry to poke scheiße, but its not rocket science. How do you wash your car? Apply the same logic to a truck, but remember... its bigger.  :evil:

I heard a rumor that CFS are actually considering building an Aerial appliance and running it as a state resource out of a centrally located brigade. Burnside was mentioned, (possibly instead of their new pumper???). It would respond to incidents around the city as well as to prolonged structure fires a bit further away like mount barker, murray bridge, gawler etc. 
I think its a good idea if its actually going ahead, but i would suggest a brigade with more industrial risks in area such as salisbury or happy valley.

It will only be a matter of time before CFS move in the CFA direction and have retained staff/volunteer and aerial appliances.Skyjets would be the way to go.

The right hand one looks very similar to an Area Manager from UK fire services. Similar to group level officer i guess.

It will come down to MONEY and what a brigade needs if any more type two pumpers are to be built,I for one would like to see a few more of these they are well worth the money and are a great unit...Just have to sell it too some brigade's who want their own home made unit......

Home made unit's like naracoorte rescue and pumper?  :wink:

My understanding of the system, from Euans report on the news is that it would be only during the fire danger season and for large, campain type incidents. The day to day responding would not change, and when a big one hits, the normal vollies would be initial attack, then as relievers, the city folk would come in for a shift or two. Their training would only be bush fire training ie. BFF1, and i imagine they would need to be working with full members when on the fire ground for supervision/safety purposes.
