probably got bogged

[David]

Haven't had a chance to catch up with anyone who attended as yet, but believe they got themselves into a spot of bother on a very steep slope, don't know if they were pointing down hill or sideways.  The only comment I have heard is don't sneeze in the area.  Also they were not alone (thats all I'll say on that) :evil:

Have got a lot more of the story now.
2 trucks were working a flank down a hill towards a fire track they could see from the top.  What they couldn't see was the 1 metre vertical drop from the paddock onto the track.
They attempted to turn the trucks and drive across the slope to a point where access could be obtained, however the slope turned out to be greater than anticipated and the decision was made to abandon the trucks (and avoid a rollover) until extra help could be obtained.
That came in the form of a tractor this morning, so as they say in the fairy tails they all lived happily ever after, except the drivers who will cop a ribbing for a long time yet. :lol:

Sounds like the driver did the right thing,better to stop and get the crews off the appliance and recover the 24 in the morning.

30-11-10 17:07:43    LYNDOCH 24 OFF LINE FOR REPAIRS DUE TO ENGINE FUEL & TEMPERATURE PROBLEMS. LYNDOCH 34P TO BE USED UNTIL REPAIRS CARRIED OUT. ********* **********. - CFS Lyndoch Info


Looks like Lyndoch 24 was a little worse for wear following its big day out yesterday. A timely reminder of the dangers faced when driving offroad in a smokey environment. Good decision by the driver/OIC to stop before the truck rolled, could have averted disaster by doing this.

quck question off topic,,, how many brigades out there do minor maintenance to their vehicles after attending significant fires, eg blowing all the soot dust and particles from the trucks air filter?

Because of the stupid setup with the current 34s we have to as often as possible to avoid overheating issues...

[Shiner]

Same here, we always have to check the radiators on our 2006 build 34 as they clog up and cause the truck to overheat.

Interestingly we've just been told we will be having a snorkel fitted as lots of brigades have issues with the air-cleaners blocking up but we have never experienced anything major with the air cleaner.

[Alex]

Im not a mechanic, or mechanically minded... but it will be interesting to see how much [if any] differance a snorkel makes, as the issue is the radiator not the air intake?

[Shiner]

Let me clarify - our issue has always been with the radiators.

However, several R1 trucks of same build have reported having major air cleaner issues (to the point where they have had to stop and clean filter out during an incident) therefore I&L have had Tremmel Tooling design a retro-fit snorkel that is to be installed on all trucks of that build.

[Alex]

Ahhk Shiner, ours is a 2007 [or 6?] build and has radiator cloggin issues.

[Alan (Big Al)]

i have only ever once had radiator issues but that was from driving through reeds 7ft hight that had been burnt,, however the problem we have had with our previous 2005 isuzu 34 and now with our 2009 isuzu 34 was when the air filters became too clogged not enough air was able to get into the engine and it went into "safe" mode and basically shut down the turbo and alot of the trucks power..

the newer 34, only the check engine light has come on, on the dash however the older 34 had the turbo issues, once the air filter was cleaned on both trucks the issue was then gone.

So now we know why Lyndoch 24 is offline and at Dr. Springton. Wonder what caused the radiator blockage and 'crud in fuel system'.
