  1. Heres a strange one........

    We were called to Pollard a euc because of its location to 11k power in winter 2009/2010. Tree responded well all 2010 with good re growth. However got called back today to find that it had died...... The bark around the base had large cracks running vertically and was easy to remove by hand. Over all the tree looked like it had copped a dose of glyphosate but knowing the clients as I do soon ruled that one out. Maybe the severity of the winter??????? any ideas........ I will of try to take some piccys on my return.

  2. have to keep first aid up to date due to fire service commitments, have come across some horrid stuff but as folk have said previous keep calm and remember the basics. Have been given some good stuff ideal for any first aid kit from an ex sbs commando who is a fellow retained fireman. 1. a c.a.t tourniquet, easy to put on can be done one handed, (only to be used for catestrophic bleeds) which lets face it chainsaws dont muck about. 2. an israeli bandage, excellent bit of kit, large wound pad and an elastic wrap keeps even wound pressure. both items are cheap enough and better than most of the rubish found in the average first aid kit. Hope this is helpfull.:thumbup1:

  3. As a retained firefighter as well as a woody, we are taught that yellow wires and plugs are feed and control for air bags and other crash related safety devices, we have to unplug before cutting pillers and popping doors to help stop un deployed bags going off.
