New MFS COMMAND BUS

[firestorm]

The mfs have a brand new scania command bus park behind the saas spot in station 20,,,,city station.... it has its emergency lights installed but not yet any signage, just a big red bus,,based on the scania coaches, similar to what premier stateliner use, but without the windows and luggage doors... any1 know anymore,,,
I also had the chance to take pics of 2014 grass fire/hazmat unit if people would like to see them

I understand the whole side of the bus slides out to create extra space inside. I saw it a few weeks ago at Scania workshop on south rd. Looks like a nice comms bus!!

[bajdas]

It was on display at the Emergency Management Conference at the convention centre. This was the prelude conference before the World Police & Fire Games started.

Too many security people about to get a look inside.

Rumored to have cost 2.5 mill. Anyone able to confirm?

[bittenyakka]

cant confirm but i was told it cost a LOT.

Apparently MFS are planning to use this bus as a more integral part of their operations unlike the old bus.

[littlejohn]

Sounds interesting.

Show pics!

[mack]

2.5 million......... i doubt it  :| cos thats a hell of a lot of bikkies.


but wouldnt be able to confirm.

[SA Firey]

$2.5 million is after the buildup which is including all the electronics going into it.MFB have ordered one similar but opted to put in a false floor for all the cabling, while MFS are running them through the bodywork :wink:

[TillerMan]

Ahh not $2.5million but it was alot, try closer to half that.

[fireblade]

Get ready for this i heard 3 million- Bus, electronics the whole lot from an MFS guy in town. Apparently its the goods but wait for it no toilet. :-D :wink:

SES rent one often for major searches in bush environments. You can see the orange for miles.....

[TillerMan]

Yes MFB have a toilet on a pod, It's called the fire duty Pod with sinks etc aswell.

The new bus must not be in action yet, as it was the old one at the ICA fire

Looks pretty speccy inside but no pics, sorry. It's actually quite boring from the outside - just imagine a big tall oblongish red blob with wheels and a few windows....  :-D
