:-D lol stay safe (thought you guys had already gone!)

bah Chook,.....u know the first rule of interstate Strike Teams....The urgency to get organised is inversely proportional to the likelihood of leaving when ready

chook

 :-D Yeah I know! Sounds like the Beechworth area is getting bad ( heavy country there too - had some personal experiences fighting fires around there) anyway hopefully you will get going soon mate.
cheers

i am watching channel 9 news coverage of the fires.. it brings this whole thing back home and i sit and ask..why are we only sending 50 FF..reporters are saying there is still houses going up in smoke...why are we not helping out? why are CFS holding us back?

Sternzee

Fsck you euan ferguson theres not gonna be any real danger to this state till atleast saturday send some more help

Master of Disaster

Keep your cool Sternzee :lol:

Bagyassfirey

sternzee...u captured everything i wanted to say...Come on EUAN!!!

Sternzee

lol :-D yeah well i stand by my statement that we could afford to send some more i wont be able to help out unless they send people tomorrow as im busy from friday for a week so im not hungry for action but they need some help

Bagyassfirey

yup a large number of people would totally agree!

Seagrave

Real Mature Ladies... The CFA requested and they will soon Recieve. No point sitting on a forum whinging because you didnt get selected to go. Get over it!

Robert-Robert34

I will gladly go once the 1st team arrives home Thursday although it means having to miss work and reschedule an appointment to another day  :wink:

seagrave its about sending a minimal amount and yes if thats all CFA asked for fair enuff but id hardly think so..not with Euan all over the tv saying SA is still in danger of a major blaze...anyway isn a forum a place to express ur point of view????

guy's ease off on the negative comments....we need to abide by Chain of command...

we can only wish further consideration can occur to support our interstate counterparts much more.

sending a small fraction from a few brigades, will not affect our operational capability.

Sending the sky crane, will not affect our operational capability.

Sending 20 trucks, will not affect our operational capability.

god, im sounding like kevin rudd...using punch lines...

CFS is Ready as it is ever. We are willing to throw everything at it on our home turf...  It is capable of supporting Victoria much more.

Does CFS want firefighters to be ready for "THIS" to happen in SA...Let them gain experience in victoria to make them ready.

Otherwise, CFS will overall have less and less experience.

Bagyassfirey

zippy yes exactly my thinkin..if twenty trucks across 5 regions is going to save SA than were stuffed anyway..
