new 34p

[Zippy]

It's a wonder that any reputable manaufacturers still deal with HM SA Govt..

and we are in a state where we have a thriving economy???   :|

[chook]

Makes you wonder where all the money goes! Been checking the Emergency services out at my future home & its mostly fund raising, corporate sponsorship & grants - No ESL! And in one case you (or maybe your squad) pay for all of your PPE, uniforms etc So just like the good old days here :-D Can't wait!
So questions should be asked!
1) Why are there so many QA problems?
2) Why can't several manufacturers get it right?
3) Are they really the right vehicles for all of the tasks we expect them to do?
Is cost cutting costing us (the tax payer) more?
Anyway good luck with it, I'm sure the answers will be swiftly coming :-D
cheers

There is no consistence with in CFS and its about filtered time there was,with all the problems with appliances and with the lack of replacement stock/parts on the shelf time CFS looked at a better solution rather than use a band aid.....

Did this thread say "New 34P"...cant be new when its nearly 2 years old by the time the brigades get them after sitting in the weather for so long :-P

Yes maybe they should have at least kept them under cover somewhere. I remember seeing one at the show and it looked terrible.

I asked the question last week at a CFSVBA meeting to a person who knows what is going on with that batch of 34p and he said it was bad workmanship with the on going problems.....

There's someone who knows what's going on?  That's quite impressive...

I'd suggest he wasn't at a CFSVBA meeting if that was the case...

yep. good to know region 5 knows about it. :)  Hazard Alert (locker weld cracking) from the CEO has been released to do with these 10 specific appliances.

Can confirm. HAZARD release was sent to the 10 Brigades concerned. Got mine this week.

that appliance that was at the show was a reject. the amount of kids that wanted to go and have a look inside on the crew deck or even inside was incredible - and the amount of tears we got when we said it wasnt safe for them to go up there

[Red Message]

Thats really good for PR.

The fire truck is unsafe for you to climb on, but we are meant to respond to emergencies with it.

Three big cheers for CFS.

 :lol: :lol: :lol: Laughing Stock

[rescue5271]

That truck should not have been at the show and no one should have driven it if it was that bad.....

[bittenyakka]

hey it was big and it looked good and the reason for not letting kids climb on was we didn't want to be responsible if they hurt them selves.  :roll:

Yes i do think that kids should be able to climb on fire trucks :-D

Has anyone heard anything about the new new 34ps (ie 07/08) or the new 34s yet?

Have seen 1 of the new 34's floating around, looks very similar to a 34P in design except for the rescue locker on the passengers side. Lets hope Varley can do a much better job with this years trucks.  :|

They're being built by Varley in NSW and are due mid year...

[bittenyakka]

oh so later than last year, i thought they where running a bit late

[rescue5271]

Understand there are two floating around and being tested by TECH Services before the rest arrive,34p are due now end of July/August..dont ask what year....

[Cameron Yelland]

Being that late maybe they are making sure all the bugs are ironed out before they produce a whole fleet of them.  That would be the logical thing anyway.

[bittenyakka]

I wonder if anyone who has seen them can comment on the trial versions bill mentions? Or a long lens could do the trick? :-D

[Pipster]

A few pics of the new appliance was posted to ozfire in the last 6 weeks or so..... did you miss it bittenyacka    :? :evil:

Pip

[Cameron Yelland]

That was the new 34 not the 34P no?

[bittenyakka]

yeah I thought that was the new 34 or that's what it was posted under

[car31]

Yes the 34 looks nice, bit plain as far as striping goes etc. Would be keen to see pics of the 34p
