A Moment In Time

Natalie is a motorcycle rider who does not care about the stopped traffic, speed limits or red traffic lights. If you are in severe pain after an injury or an accident, you could do a lot worse than to have paramedic Natalie and her fast motorcycle speeding to come to you. It is a nice day in Sydney for a motorcycle ride and Natalie is certainly getting into some Thursday afternoon action!

Katrina is waiting at the fire station and hears the noise that she has been waiting hours for - an alarm for her. She finally has a job. This is no ordinary job that she will not remember next week. She will remember this dirty, dark, smelly and confined spaces job for the rest of her career. The eyes of Sydney's travelling public will be watching her every move as they want to go home. Will Katrina be able to cope with the pressure? Will Station Officer Renee be able to guide rookie Rescue Operator Katrina through the incident so Katrina is not added to the list of people who go in as a rescuer & need rescuing themselves?

Katrina is starting to suffer with cabin fever. New to the Platoon, she wants to get out there & get her hands dirty. She sees the other trucks getting to leave on jobs but she has to stay behind and wait. It is starting to do her head in. Renee sees this and decides that it is time that Katrina goes out for a city drive instead of sitting around doing nothing.

Judy's routine was relatively simple on this particular schedule. See a platform, stop. Go. See another platform, stop. That might be making it sound very simple. Judy made it look easy. However, controlling this big passenger carrying machine with only her left hand took a lot of training, skill & experience.

It's a nice day for Judy to be able to drive around and around and around. But first, she has to find her vehicle and then make sure that it is ready to go, that everything is how it should be. You just can't turn up to work and drive straight away, can you?

It is an impressive April day in Sydney as Caroline drives her car across the Sydney Harbour Bridge. She meets her management team as well as her partners. After a tour of the station, some paperwork and filling her hell-belt with supplies, Caroline is ready to be let loose on the unsuspecting citizens of Sydney on her first day of her new job.

Dateline: Thursday 01 April 2010. Caroline is very excited about her first day at her new job. She has been looking forward to this day since she has been a small child. It would be very bad for her to be late on her first day of work - after all, you only get one chance to make a good first impression!
