G'day peeps now i know that were still another month or two away from when summer crew work positions open but i figured now is the best time to find out whos going to apply for summer crew work this fire season and which agency they are gonna try and get into

As for me well i have applied for 2 jobs one with Green Triangle Forest Products as a forest worker and the other as a Project Fire Fighter with DSE Victoria with abit of luck hopefully i'll get one or the other

DEH here i come! job hunting using SA-Firefighter works better than Career one

Ditto Dezza if i do get on the ITC crew i'd like to thank Blinky for telling me that ITC were after fire crew and everyone else on here who believed that i would one day be apart of a season fire crew

I rung up the Penola Office while i was in Mount Gambier today during shopping and the lady who answered was more than happy for me to come into the ITC office tomorrow at 15:00 to hand in my resume and maybe have a quick interview

To be honest i might have increased my chances by ringing today and asking about summer crew work plus Kalangadoo isnt far from Penola so that might be the deal sealer on top of my willingness to do extra training

I never thought of that bajdas

i think that my CAMS Fire & Rescue officiating with South East Automobile Club would cause im the only sole person doing this dangerous officiating so yeah it might help

I'll have to show them my CAMS licence today as well

Screw that bet mate, merely a bet of a single stage, multi-pressure pump will do!

How about betting that it'll get fixed at all!

I understand that Stirling Pumper will be, finally, getting a brand new pump soon...hopefully it will solve the problems with it......!
