Several people asked me to put together a page outlining the recent action towards increasing morale in the Dept of Environment and Heritages ARFMU (Adelaide Region Fire Management Unit) fire fighters. The information is at http://arfmu.com, comments and other content is more than welcome. Please take a look and add to the discussion if you can. There are 100’s of very skilled fire fighters beeing treated very poorly by a few. Only a combined effort will make a change- shaun

Moving house, so I have to sell some rarely used bits and pieces or face more trips with the trailer. Selling woodworking gear (in particular Triton) and some other random stuff. I opened an ebay store for a month to see if it is worth doing long term to make a few extra dollars. Hopefully I can earn enough so that Andrea can stay at home with Connor.

Welcome to the FireSeason.net.
Fire Season is a new website designed to help seasonal fire fighters keep informed during the off-season. It also has online tools to help with going fires, for example scanners and pager decoders. It will evolve into a very handy tool for both the quiet and busy times
