Of course a Federal Copper is the best person to investigate a Fire Service

Good luck to the ex-CFS boys in FESA, wonder how long the golden fleece will last now that they look headed for the Public Service

Careful throwing mud Teddy our service at a Corporate level is lacking in a number of areas which filters down, can you truly blame them for leaving the CFS if you compare their pay to their counterparts in the MFS.

I would not get out of bed for what CFS paid staff get!

Why do you think they struggle to fill vacancies or to get people with qualifications to go for the spots....you can get a job almost anywhere that pays more and gives you a better work/social balance. Not to mention most other services have qualified firefighters in those roles. In the CFS you could be an ex-dog catcher and end up in charge of a major fire.

My sources tell me it's the same in NSW RFS (who are about 10yrs behind us
organisationally, but 10 years in front of us in training to on-the-ground
needs rather than HQ fears. (on paper if not real-world).
At least RFS drones get well paid compared with CFS staff (who I mostly have
found to be great -people-)

Great people, for sure, but would you be happy handing over a major incident....then again your an idiot if you don't !!
