Attended first CFA call out tonight .. at the station, training in progress and get called to a camp fire that didn't meet the rules.
15 mins later, fire was out and campers awaiting police. In short: they're screwed. Just looked up maximum fine and it's over $16k 😳

It's just so easy .. they have policies around "buying favours", and so it wasn't an option. How is that so difficult for other companies?
