    Off to Waiuru on Tuesday to do a 3 day Air Support Supervisor course. The last requirement I need to get my Unit 4 in fire fighting. I figure after 28yrs in the service I should be able to get something out of it.

    Dry weathers not helping. Our calls have sky rocketed. We have a new toy from Draeger to help with that though ...

    IR Camera? Cool.
    Get my Drager BA's coming up soon with carbon wrapped tanks. They make nice gear.

    Hey guys, just joined up on the forums and this was (almost) the first post I saw.
    Been a volly at Papakura Station for just over 18 months now. Usually float round 200 calls a year.
    The majority of calls are PFA's and being the second appliance on station, usually K28'd

    Hi Stephen, fancy seeing you here haha...

    I haven't signed up yet. Bit low on money at the moment to pay the subscription, but will have a look closer to the time when I am back at work.

    Yup we did thank you. She ended up scraping the tables we were going to take though

    No subscription for the V8s as it is as part of a fire crew on the track.
    Any other fire vollies want a trackside view of the V8s in November?

    Pagers are a nightmare here. At one point I had four to test which were most consistent. One call saw one of two flex pagers activate and they were about an inch apart
