As for cars, people here don't lock there cars and they leave the ashtray open and nothing worth nicking in the car. that way if people want to get in and have a look through the car they don't break the window saving you having to get it fixed.

I thought they were all mad at 1st but see the logic now.

In WA all cars have to be sold with an immobilizer (or so I believe)

We have loads of girls - one is really great. The days of strong firies seem to have gone, there's not many weighty gear now - there is less of the going in to burning buildings to lift people out - 3 guys go in and drag out now - they don't teach fireman's lifts etc. you never go in until you have to, and even then you can refuse...

Many brigades have a wildfire role, very little structure. Ours is both. Women are great drivers, communicators. We have a 70yr old comms girl - she gets everyone goggle-eyed when she turns up to jobs.The older people leave the running around to younger blokes like us - as my captain said the other day.
A few times up a hill with a 64mm hose is knackering.

You saw the first one. I have now got a new one with all the bits, it fits- that first one was too small and too old. Was embarassing.

I also have a decent jacket now. Even you know who had a bit of an admiring glance the other day I couldn't help notice.
