All RFS members have to undergo a police check when joining and undergoing their training. One of the main checks is for any convictions for arson and related crimes.
Personally I find it very embarassing when I hear of fellow members involved in this type of activity.

Hi Ric,
Apologies if any offense was taken at all, I didn't mean to make generalizations about the RFS. I know the vast majority of members are dedicated to preventing fires and saving lives and homes, and I'm sure just as many fires (if not the majority) are started by people who haven't volunteered and have no idea of the damage they can cause.
Thanks again to you and your fellow firies, you guys do a great job
