Hey Norbers the reason it was weather permitting was because we do most of our training in the national park, they had predicted rain etc and if it's too wet we could not get to where we do it. You guys are pathetic!! Get the full story before making assumptions! I don't care what other brigades do, I look after my guys because we are a small brigade!! Grow up and find something productive to sit there and nag on you arm chair warriors

Well why don't you go do the prescribed burn course since your such a expert! Lets not forget some of these IC are CFS PAID STAFF. Who's to blame then? You obviously have no idea what goes into these things! Most of the times the burns are OVER resources! Yeah I'm wingding over how much they get paid from experience of the amount of crap they get from us!you are all key board worries you go do half the stuff they do! Hers another one for you the back burn that got put in at cox by us ( CFS) was bigger then the rest or the fire! So don't sit there and tell me it's all DEWNR s fault and I would like to see the " distruction" in belair! How long ago was it burnt? And do you have a environment degree? Did it reduce fuel? Will it grow back??

Ok I'm so sick of the back stabbing
DEWNR are a CFS brigade! The burn took place Wednesday. Thursday the fire ground was quiet. Friday is when it jumped 2 DAYS AFTER THE BURN. There was people there both days and they saw the spot. Stipituras was a FARMERS BURN OFF WHICH GOT INTO THE PARK. I use to work for DEWNR there is at least 3 years work that go into 1 burn. What would all you haters be saying if they did not do the burns and it was a wild fire? Ohhh DEWNR are not doing enough burns! We are all vollys and if you don't want to attend the call out dont! Those poor seasonal fire crew who cop all the crap only have jobs for 9 months and get $21 bucks a hour and are not aloud to have a life because they don't have the luxury of looking at the pager and saying nah not going to that  need more respect from us! As said previous DAMMED IF THE DO DAMMED IF THEY DON'T! I honestly would like to see half the CFS guys I volly with undertake half the burns DEWNR do then what would be said when we (CFS) loose them.

and i don't know what courses you have done but these will be a good idea
