Thread: Vol Fire crew, who is one?

yup sorry, all good. In this area where I'm RFO sometimes I've got to play with the cards that are handed to me. Obvious 3285 is paramount, but if others turn up, there are other safe roles for them apart from the fire ground, logistics, comms, etc

Do you get many calls up there Gapped axe?
Genuine question not a dig.
I only ask as we have a massive resource of rural fire gear in Waipuk, 5 engines!
I've only seen them at 2 calls this year.
Seems like a massive waste/overkill

not so much fires, more MVA and medicals, Maritime, I do a lot of these with out going thru comms as my clients have DDI to my pager and phone. We live in a community of 380 properties and most of my crew will only respond to calls in our immediate area. Me I will respond wherever I'm tasked too. The son, who's in the Police, is being prep for off shore fire deployment in Aus and Canada. He holds crew Boss position in our Unit

Our units. My Son and Daughter and Newbie, Newbie is a year older than the daughter, with Mayor and myself. Just for reference I'm just over 6'2''

jesus , your boy is a monster ... in a good way of course

So your on the right. And are 6'2"?
How tall is your son?

handy for carrying Deer out, and when things go bump in the middle of the night. Perfect for his job. 6'5'' and solid, daughter is 6', and following him into Police. Funny photo angle makes me look tiny, I'm 110kgs

Old fart

yup

How long does it take to get a gold star and bars etc?

you get a 3 year certificate .
then a 5 year medal .... every 2 years after that 5 you get a silver bar ...
at 14 years you get your long service and good conduct medal , every 7 years after that you get a rosette on the ribbon
at 25 years you get your gold star ... and then every 2 years after that you get a gold bar ... the gold star trumps your 5 year medal , so you dont get silver bars anymore .
and if you stay in long enough you get another gold star at 50 years service

we had our honours evening last night, was a very enjoyable evening
