    Fire up the coast the other night, GC neighbour phoned police about it as it was neighbouring a pine forest that has burnt down years ago before.

    NZFS didn't want a bar of it, couldn't get the truck up the road.

    The cop that was dispatched was sounding rather puffed on the radio, must have been an uphill road not "dangerously over grown" as he described hehe

    Rural vollies walked in and put it out with two Scotty packs I would hate to be so unfit to turn down a job where I could protect someone's property and if I owned those pines I'd be making a generous donation to the local vollies crews!!!!!

    That's a pretty big role. Rural areas is hard to find volunteers let alone good volunteers.
    Cubs need people like yourself as leaders and to guide them and give the opportunities to do all the fun things they go there for. Gives them the confidence as they grow older and the good times you are have is a great reward

    It is good work that they do Pengy.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Although there seems to be different rules for different parts of the country, as far as I know you have never been able to take an appliance off hard standing.
    Learned that on my ERD back in the 90's.
    If you have a serious accident off road you will most likely be hung out to dry. Check where you stand legally

    We got balled out at a rural fire debrief after all the 6/1 and a couple of 6/3 went over an small non certified private wood bridge onto a grass area for assembly point. Quite right as a bridge collapse would have stranded the truck for a few weeks. All to save a 30sec walk from the main carpark.

    At a house fire a couple of years ago, I parked to the side of the driveway with both front wheel on the grass. Got a bit boggy with all the water etc. A couple of days later the burst water mains to the house were repaired right where I had parked.

    Hey in not complaining about the urbans, I was mainly cracking up at the cop who had too many donuts to tackle the hill.

    Should have said in passing "I thought you had to pass some sort of fitness test to be a cop ?"
