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 · « **Reply #201 on:** February 08, 2009, 02:44:48 PM »

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?

Bagyassfirey · « **Reply #219 on:** February 08, 2009, 05:20:18 PM »

yup a large number of people would totally agree!

Seagrave · « **Reply #220 on:** February 08, 2009, 05:30:15 PM »

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 · « **Reply #221 on:** February 08, 2009, 05:32:16 PM »

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

Bagyassfirey · « **Reply #222 on:** February 08, 2009, 05:35:11 PM »

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?

Zippy · « **Reply #223 on:** February 08, 2009, 05:41:36 PM »

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 · « **Reply #224 on:** February 08, 2009, 05:45:50 PM »

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