Personally I love everyone but that doesn't mean we can't have a bit of banter between groups. Unfortunately you sometimes have to be careful as there's always some peeps who take it too personally.






I agree 100%, I love giving stick to others, but there are plenty of people who do have a go at other groups and really mean it.



I think that one of the things that will come out of the Royal Commission into Black Saturday will be the inter brigade/unit rivalry. I reckon it will find that most units/organistions worked very well together but due to some petty squabbles in the past others did not and that this may even have cost lives.


I know of one local CFA unit that are so full of themselves that it is almost impossible to work with them.

I'm not sure which SES unit you're with but the only inter organisation grief I've ever come across was a copper from Hastings who was also (I think) a member of Hastings SES.

I am at Hastings, I think I know who you mean though. He isn't with us but he once snatched a chainsaw from one of our blokes hands and reckoned he could do it better himself
