Naracoorte is rescue and hazmat and with all the on going training that goes along with it aswell as CABA not much time to do anything else these days. Millicent and penola are the other two hazmat and rescue brigade's in region five.

Out of interest, Glen Osmond actually started in MFS area, not CFS, so technically it was their fire now ours ;) (Well, until it crossed the freeway and burnt out of MFS area...)

it started half way down the hill on the freeway side didn't it. I have a friend that lives on gleneagles road, nearly lost her house. fire reached her tennis court, which sits about 10-15m below her house. it would've been frickin scary.

If all goes to plan at the Wattle Range Group Meeting Kalangadoo might become a chainsaw briage as Kalangadoo SAPOL want Kalangadoo 34 to be equipped with a chainsaw and i'll be one of the first people to nominate for a chainsaw ticket  :-D

P_F i dont think it would be appropriate to do a dance routine after saving someones house from a fire  :lol:

Enough about pornstar probe, I got my first real call out with lights and sirens!  :-D

Fire alarm went off at Sandy Creek primary school, was a false alarm, but I finally got a call out!

Try spending the first 5 hours of christmas day at multiple calls and get no sleep it makes for a very tiring day. But hey sleep is overrated anyone agree?? :-D
