    Was interesting. I've only had good experience in my brigade but it's pretty clear the other brigades near us are run very differently. Eventually they will run out of vollies if that is the real culture and it continues, be interesting to see how things pan out after a bullshit outfit like 3d have done their best to get some ratings

    We have largely gone to txt turnout, pagers have too many black areas around our patch. Took me about a month to click at the old place, that if I put my pager on the centre of my bedside cabinet no go. Either side, no issues... (about 120mm each way).

    No if only comms would stop changing the txt notification numbers, we could then assign a specific tone to the turnout pages and know without having to read the text!

    Vollies doing what vollies do well - making things happen.
    A big 3 days at Pukekohe under the sun and no shade.
    The track temp in the pits on Sunday was 48deg. The day before was hotter.
    The only payment was an unlimited supply of drinking water and getting up close to the action

    Mt Manaia is a good wee jaunt on a hot day at the best of times let alone loaded up with gear. I presume you then retired to the Mt Manaia Club to recover.

    I did a pager test last week for the crew and found a couple of weak spots (flat Batteries). I use a pager every day for my work, it's the same pager I use for police , medical, fire and security both alarms and phone lines . Couldn't work with out it.

    That wind is playing havoc and making the RFO's nervous and twitchy. The other day at a rural fire, embers were carried 400m and started a spot fire.

    1 from the other night. Started as a car fire and the wind carried it. Unlike @BRADS we have ours at a more gentlemanly hour so we are home at 2.30am and sleep before work

    Norsewood and Dannevirke are at a flare up. Brads must be at home tucking his sheep in for the night
