    Got called out to this in the early hours of the morning. Surround and drown pretty much.
    Lots of 100 gallon drums around the place with 'flammable' liquids on them. Turned out to be Asylum Paintball.

    Also, very interesting to see what the 3rd alarm response is like compared to a 5th alarm further down the line... We have a whole heap more resources at our expenditure up here.
    Saw 387, 381 and 3811 turned out and wondered if you were on then thought about what I was doing at 4.09am - deep sleep

    Waiuku Brigade had 2 alarm callouts overnight. Poor buggerr must've had a hectic night. I hear the siren, but just go back to sleep these days, don't leap out of bed wondering how bad this one will be any more.

    You can fuck right off.
    Some us just do it for the joy of helping people, nothing more.
    We ask no thanks.
    Its often when your busy or have something on.

    There's a few getting done for lighting fires. These are just a few from NZ:

    Volunteer Aramoana firefighter Bradley Hansen sentenced for Hawke's Bay arsons

    Firefighter on trial for arson
    Firefighter on trial for arson - crime - national | Stuff.co.nz

    Firefighter on arson charge
    Firefighter on arson charge | Stuff.co.nz

    Fireman pictured fighting blaze had arson conviction
    Fireman pictured fighting blaze had arson conviction - National - NZ Herald News

    Firefighter on 8 arson charges
    Firefighter on 8 arson charges

    Do the paid firemen in NZ do the same? Or is just volunteers?

    Probably a good thing we don't have volunteer police officers. They might go around stabbing people to get more work.

    The vollies have my respect as well. They're the ones who'll save my arse when I've done something wrong, be it a match or vehicle. Or even medical event as I found out the other day from a work mate. Big ups to you all

    i hadn't seen it so just googled it. Looks alrite, serves a purpose.

    Is it just me or does there seem to be soo much conspiracy theory type talk out there these days? Seems to be a bunch of people that can only see negative far fetched bollocks in everything.
    If i could have a full time job shooting pests i'm up for over time.
