    Hi Wayne!

    My name is Lars and I work for the fire service in Sweden.

    I am looking for powerpoints or other training materials from South Africa, do you think that you could help me with that?

    I am collecting training material from lots of countries and stations to gather them on a website. The website will be a great tool later to view how different countries and stations work in different situations.

    So do you think that is possible?

    Best regards / Lars

    Hi Wayne,

    I appreciate your accepting the friendship invitation. I hope all goes well for you and your family there.
    I felt the same about being redeployed on promotion at first. I had been in the station for 9 years at the time and was being deployed to another watch in another station on promotion from firefighter to Sub-Officer. I swapped to stay on my own watch and was sent back to my own station within a week. A situation arose the second night on duty where I gave an order to deal with a minor incident a certain way and went back to the truck to talk to control. When I got back, things had been done differently and one of my best mates was the main guy involved. I corrected the situation but had to have words on a professional basis with him when we got back to the station, which he was not pleased about, and neither was I. It was not easy or pleasant but it had to be done. He acknowledged my position the next day on and we remain the best of friends.
    If I had just gone to the new posting I would not have had that unpleasant experience.
    after a while you slot into the new place anyway and I have moved a couple of times through promotion since without a problem.
