apparently the country has had 2 distinct types of fire services - the NZFS and the Rural fire forces - their stations look the same (mostly 2 bays) - and the rigs are mostly the same size - but I suspect the difference is that the NZFS have SCBA and turnout gear etc - while the Rural Fire Forces just have jump suits and trucks set up for wildfire fighting (no SCBA, no ladders, no force entry gear, etc)
NZFS have pagers - Rural just has cellphones or phone callouts (maybe) - both have VHF and maybe UHF radios of course the Rural stations are in some tiny communities - some with maybe just 20 homes Ambulance is an entirely different kettle of fish On Wed, Oct 26, 2016 at 6:05 PM, Peter Szerlagi <[email protected]> wrote: > http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/PA1610/S00411/consultation-opens-on-new-fire-levy-rate.htm > > they are merging all the FDs and the costs are going UP -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "massfire" group.
