Latest Shout

[Bravo]

Now that I have picked myself up off the floor.....what a load of shite. The last fire here that was downgraded overnight turned into a 250,000 hectare fire that killed 9 people.......so we do day and night shifts now !!

All the crews would stay out all night if they could! The problem is the chief and his understudy's are afraid that we will fall down into a boghole and injure ourselves. In Holmatroman's case, I think its a very good idea to send them home at night. I wouldn't like to be pulling someone or a fellow FF out of one of those holes!!

That is true you can't go leaving those wild fires unattended overnight . The fire usually lays down at night with cooler temps and less wind but usually picks up again in morning when winds increase and temps rise .

Just got back from an RTA wash down outside the station, pump didnt even leave the bay. That was our 50th of the month,

If it were a long protracted fire overnight we would have crews maintaining a defensive watching brief if it were unsafe, protecting property and such. Then continue on at sunrise.
