What's a pumper?

[CFS_fire32]

Im a cadet at barmera station and we have recently been given a new 24p which has had a few minor problems with the pump but apart from that it looks great and runs hard

Not to stray off the topic too much but,...

Where do you stow your HAZMAT equipment, because according to the promo website you do not carry it on any of your appliances?
Do you have a HAZMAT trailer?

Dont know if this is the right section but does anyone know when Hahndorf are taking delivery of their type 2 pumper?

Are you sure?

Nothing against Hahndorf, but wouldn't have thought that a new type 2 pumper for their brigade would have been justifiable.  Why not replace their old pumper with a 24P like every other brigade out there?

If this is true then CFS have just proved again that they toss a coin to decide where a truck goes, surely a type2 would be better served at such brigades as Belair, salisbury, dalkeith, seaford, Morphett V...etc...

Guys,

Both Hahndorf pumper and Mt Barker pumper (which will be rescue) are at NE Isuzu ready to go.

Have heard that it is the only appliance that will fit in their station as the main street of Hahndorf is heritage listed and the station cant be altered.

Has the type 2 replacement for Barker 24P been brought forward? I thoought it was still 18 months away?

[pumprescue]

I have heard the region is causing a lot of problems with barker if any of you read the courier news paper letters to the editor last week. They are losing their 24p and rescue for the type2. Yes the only reason that has been heard is that hahndorf cant fit any other appliance in.

[24P]

Have also heard (but cant confirm  :-)) the 24P is to be relocated to Littlehampton?

[pumprescue]

Yeah i heard that aswell, and they are keeping their 24?? Funny how they will have the same appliances as morphett vale who do how many more jobs and have a bigger urban area?? One must ask the question isn't region 1 commander in that brigade??

:? Let me get this right...Mt Barker have got the Dennis, and are now getting an SEM type 2 Pump/Rescue as well, at the sacrifice of their 24P going to Littlehampton? Yet a URBAN/RURAL (Yes, it should be in that order) station like Happy Valley loses their Pumper for a very rural 34, to partner their, not that suited for urban risk, 24P.  To sum up....WHAT THE?  :x

I've been in the CFS long enough to know that logic doesn't surface much... particulary when it comes to appliances... :(

I dont get it either but guys it is funny how littlehampton got their SFEC upgraded to get barker 24p within a month and Happy Valley have been waiting since what 1996!!!!

06/07 will see 9 x 34P's, 24 x 34's, 2 x UP's

[24P]

06/07 will see 9 x 34P's, 24 x 34's, 2 x UP's

Any idea how they will be distributed?

Illogically?

[backburn]

[Del]

Not really

Don't forget Hahndorf will also be getting a new type two pumper. Be nice if new appliances and especially new pumpers were shared around a little more.  Been a lot of new appliances for Heysen group in the last couple of years. I also hope the that the reason for Hahndorf getting a type two isn't solely because of their station size - Hahndorf did 5 building fires last year and about 20 fixed alarms.  Hahndorf don't have any specialist roles/equipment other than CABA. You go figure!

[24P]

We did about 40 structure related jobs and we far from qualify for a pumper even with all the risk in our area, figure that out :?

[strikeathird]

24P are u from Hahndorf... ??

It says they did 5 structure fires on the 2004, 2005 Stats...

[24P]

nah not from hahndorf, just bemused by the appliance lottery like many others.

[strikeathird]

hmmm.... It definately makes you wonder.....   :oops:

[Mike]

Dont forget CFS_Fire32 your group has got a lot of new and referbished stuff in the last 5 years as well (albeit 1 was an AFC 24P). theres more to come too....
