    Who doesn't? I reckon Swanee must have had shares in it with the endless babble about how we shouldn't go there.

    Cfbt is such cool training

    Haha, last time I went down was for honours for our brigade and Ngongotaha..... didn't make it to town that night......

    In other news, passed my ERD course, and doing my consolidation now.
    Got my Class 4L for the tanker and will be able to get my full in May this year.
    SFF is next course...

    Also, I need to fill up my calendar with a few hunts this year. Anyone keen to take me under their wing?

    Not so much the rain as the wind. We lost power 9pm Saturday till 5.45am Sunday. The station was out till 5pm Sunday and all backup batteries were dead

    We just got a new generator for our station. Does the radio, limited lights, doors and the traffic lights i think. Didn't end up using it, but how ever. The ambo's came to stay with us as their station had lost power from what I heard.. Our pump got relegated to behind the tanker.

    Na don't think Jo is hunting. Are you going out this year at all?

    Pushing to get out for the roar this year.
    We got all the electrical work for connecting a Genny 2 weeks ago but no leads supplied FFS. Our 12v backup siren is away for repair. Cellphones were down so relied on old fashion pager

    Active911 didn't work for us for 90% of the calls we got, so out came the map book.
