Luckily the operator is a mechanic and could fix on the spot. Guess that's why we practice. A good nite and a good turnout.

You must have some flash Harry gear our Comms don't even work in the shed.
In Fact it doesn't work most of the time
The box is just to catch the start up blow out, first there opens doors and gets the old lady going

No time to wait for the stragglers. As soon as a crew is ready she rolls out the door. The rest can following in our smoke

QFF from Waitati Brigade near Dunedin here.

I'm a St John volley on the island but we don't end up doing much as the district nurses do 90% of the emergency work. But big ups for those that do end up at accidents at the middle of the night!

greetings from austria to my colleagues in nz
