being a volunteer firefighter myself, at 17 years of age, some of the
things that go through your mind when comms tells you to repond towards
such an such for an MVA. its fucking wrong, people who see this please slow
the hell down :/ not just for me, but for you, your mum ur dad ur brother
ur sister, whoever it might be ur going to see. i dunno about you, but id
prefer you to be a few minutes late, then never show up..
hmmm.. not just rural volunteers, but CFA staff members, urban brigades,
police, ambos and often other members of the public already on scene are
affected by these sorts of things. whether you get paid or not makes no
different, we're all in it together. but good on those men and women, you
do your respective organisations proud, your communities proud and the
country proud.
No it is not just volunteers. All police, firefighters, ambos and SES
volunteers have to deal with the results of the accidents. It is just more
poignant for the volunteers are doing it on their own time (they don't get
paid) and are more likely to be dealing with people they know. Good article
by the project. Please slow down and be careful over your hoilday.
That was a great story and I wish that more people would listen to the
messages in it. The only thing that I would point out is that they focus on
small rural towns, but CFA and SES volunteers are not only from these small
rural communities. We also serve in urban communities and have to deal with
the exact same sort of incidents.
