Well at long last CFS have now said that it is up to each GROUP not the regional office to make up their mind if Kid's and NON members are allowed on fire trucks and if a group allows them onto a fire truck there is no come back on CFS if something happens. So what does that mean,well for me and other members in my brigade and group we can now take our children on our weekly 30km run as long as they have seatbelts on,it will mean that we can now take part in local community parade's but can do so with our family's on the appliance. In the past CFS at regional level has not been fully supporting this but at long last and after what took place down here last year it is great to see that someone has had a change of heart.
I know some of you wont be happy about this but look at it this way in country SA family's and our kids are the future Volunteers and if we can get them to do things as simple as going with mum and dad for the weekly 30km run then that is a start...We dont have new members lining up at our doors wanting to join and so this is a great win for all....
