THEY were known as the Rat Pack: five renegade firefighters who threatened to burn houses down instead of save them, ran naked through the streets, drove fire trucks while drunk and trashed a whistleblower’s car.
An official investigation found them responsible for a campaign of harassment and intimidation in a NSW country town and recommended disciplinary action.
Instead, the NSW Fire Brigades – already under fire for fostering a culture of ritual abuse exposed by The Sunday Telegraph – has promoted two of them to leadership roles.
sounds like some Fahrenheit 451 action right there. We dont’ fight the fires, we make them!

What is wrong w/ people? WTF kind of fireman (or human) ethics is that? One person, an asshole, yes. A whole group like that, cult-like. People get a little authority and become certifiable.
testosterone and alcohol make for a lovely combination.
thats not the full story. They went on to rape the female firefighter three times, and they raped her two boys aged 5 and 9 at teh time, as well… yes i am that female firefighter – still trying to bring them to justice….
I wish you luck and success. What they’ve done to you and yours is despicable.
I am a former (ashamed) employee of NSWFB/FRNSW.

I am speaking with current and retired NSWFB/FRNSW firefighters re behaviour of NSWFB/FRNSW senior management in dealing with issues of reported corruption and misconduct.
