Welcome Michael!

One quick question right off. How do you guys fight fires while you're upside down?

Ok, I used to live in Montrose and knew some guys at the Bayswater station.

Hey, check it out...I've started a group for Australian fire fighters. I did a quick whip around and didn't see any others, if this group duplicates another, please let me know and I'll close it.

I was SES. Became a vollie ff when I moved to the US. Will be returning to Melb in a few years and will make the switch to CFA probably. Cutting up trees was fun, but fighting fire is more!
