I think pip has hit it on the head these appliances where found to have a few safety problems and this may be why they are being replaced and they will be fixed and sent out to a area that I guess does not get alot of call outs. Mind you our 34 has not been too bad but we have had problems like the rest with the pump and rust in the body there only 5 years old......

Has anyone got a link to photos of the tassie tankers?
I personally like the look of the NSWFB equivalent 34Ps:

It's a pity that cfs didn't go for the full height drivers side locker that houses the generator, would have added a bit more locker space!!

I would assume a 'P' appliances would be designed with urban work in mind, so the extra locker space would outweigh the lack of running grass fire support...

Just interested about this, if they are'nt good enough for the brigades once fixed, why should someone else have to have it? Why cant they go back to the original brigades?

I would say that because the time it will take to fix the problem's that in the long tearm its better to give those busy brigades a new appliance and send the old 34 that are only 5 years old to a brigade that does less than 20 call outs a year...

Had a look over the one at the show when there Friday, they really have to store these trucks inside in future (if they are going to delay their delivery). Noticed a fair bit of surface rust in places + the bags which cover the stop/slow battens were seriously faded. These trucks cost a fair bit of money but are being left to the elements. You would think they would consider delivering them to the lucky recipients asap to avoid further weather damage.

Hmmm, yeah, can think of heaps of brigades that do more call that could be refurbed, in fact they could take Glencoe and Penola's trucks away, refurb them, and give them back before they knew they were gone.

news flash!

Few more 34P's being delivered in the next 2-3 weeks.

We've been asked to do a lookover of 24P for any obvious problems and sort them out if possible before the Trade-in.

Parndana(KI) will be the recipiants of our 24P...dual-cab for them  hooray!

Has anyone heard the status of this years 34P's? Are they made / not made / in Adelaide / on or behind schedule? Whether they are the older or new model Isuzu?

Ok i wouldnt have thought last years batch mattered seeing as how they were being made by a different company? Have heard reports drom they are at the inspection stage to not started and anywhere in between those 2. Was curious cause no-one seems to know.

oh...there are people that know whats going on,  its just a matter of it being a slow process and not everyone being on the same page of the book.

Theres still a lot of things to be addressed.
