i hope i come across as calm and civil, that's how i am.

just want to understand peoples perspective, reasoning behind their decisions so i need to ask so i don't assume things

is someone not calm or civil?

the fire service is a chain of command, they can do what they like. they can either create a policy or just change it, it's their call.

To say the vollies are doing a disservice to their community...

what do you mean by this is what i'm trying to understand?

what are the risks in those areas that warrant a career station over a volly station? just population?

matamata is one isn't it, one career and rest vollies??

what are the risks that warrant career staff over vollies?

can you please clarify what you mean "disservice to their community"

Hate those type of calls, sad for all concerned

How many? We usually only have the chance of six during the day as most of our team head into town for work.
It'll be interesting once drugs are on the truck, looking forward to it........ Nervously...

generally we are on board but yeah there are a few that aren't keen.
We have always had high numbers of medicals, we have been turned out to purple calls for years so used to get plenty of resuss...

so true these days and especially accurate for my station, we have been classed as a NZFS first response unit.

haha that is common for a couple of our blokes to, they have had a few lonely moments at the station.
