PF, i have one. It is great, very warm!! The brand Is Johnny Bobbin which is a good brand. We have the exact same jumper as part of our work uniform (not with the CFS logo of course). Along with a CFS beanie you are all set for those chilly nights at Brukunga

As I write this I am wearing mine. Green with Star emblem. Very warm and comfortable. Our brigade did an order for members last year, I think it cost about $60, or could have been $69.

Yep, very warm have the one from
Fire and Rescue Australia
- nice and toasty! Great also to keep in the kit bag for those nights when you are standing around, thumb in bum, mind in neutral, waiting to be tasked!

yeah, i only dropped the resume off there 2-3 weeks ago. oh well, i'll cry myself to sleep.
They're normally pretty quick with our orders. A few weeks ago at an RCR a tow truck ran over our eflare. We had a new one within 3 weeks.

na, a 5 minute drive to fire and rescue, not blackwood CFS. Besides, my station is about a 30 second drive. I timed it once.

hah you have to be a bit closer than 5 minutes to make the trucks at blackwood...
im only about one minute from my station but it doesnt really help if ya have to wait 3-4 minutes for the rest of the crew... mind you ive never missed the first truck
