FirePlugs

The CFA volunteers inspect fire plugs in there brigade area. A database of fire plugs are created, a worksheet of a group plugs are printed, faults are recorded on the sheet. The faults are recorded and a summary of faults are printed to be forwarded to the council to fix the fault. The next time this group of plugs are inspected the existing faults are printed with the street names. All plugs are recorded so that plugs do not get lost. All volunteers can view the details, but only selected users can change the data.
