What a cracking idea! I can imagine a fire truck turning up with a gaggle of pi**ed up students on it (yes I am implying that students drink - been there, got the t-shirt!) and trying to effectively contain an incident. Or better still first thing in the morning dehydrated and hung over. I would like to see how much spew you can get in a BA mask whilst donned!
On a more serious note the folllowing thoughts came to me:
Lack of experience, training time, high turnover of students, driving ability, attending off station courses. Could they do all this and be a full time student aswell?
Now I know what a wonderful job most of our UK retained colleagues do with only two hours training a week but there aren't many stations with a student majority crew.
I am going now I've dug a big hole and I've got a big can of worms open!!
