Blast From The Past 34 – Fire

Posted by Erk on October 3, 2009 in Blast From The Past with 2 Comments


Welcome to episode 34 of Blast From The Past. On this episode, we have a look at Erk & Judy’s involvement with fire.

One of Judy’s jobs with the Army (listen back to episode 33 if you haven’t heard why Judy worked for the Army) was to work the fire siren on the base and to notify the on-site fire brigade and the local fire brigade about fire drills and actual fires.

Later she joined what was then the  Bush Fire service (and what is now the NSW Rural Fire Service) as a trainee volunteer in communications. A few years later, Erk also joined the NSW RFS, firstly as a firefighter and then also in communications.

On this episode, you will also hear Erk and Squeak talk about their roles in the NSW Rural Fire Service. This interview was conducted by Squeak as a part of National Podcasting Post Month (aka Nannapoopoo) last November.

And finally there is a song and the poems are back!

    Judy, you described your doctor as “He’s a top guy that you’d like to take home and put his shoes under your bed.” I’ve never heard that phrase before. Should I assume this means he is hot?

    I’ve also never heard the phrase “Bob’s my Uncle.” What on earth does that mean?

    It was interesting to hear about what it can be like to work as a Fire Fighter. Clearly, it’s not the job for me, but it was fun to hear about.

    The interview with Squeak was a nice addition to this episode, and I really enjoyed the poem called “Firey”. :D
