New Rescue van for CFS
rescue5271:
Sorry dont like it, where is the crew protection on those long trips to a RCR or to a hazmat job ??? Did CFS just go out and buy these with out any consultataion from its members who have to use them?? Sorry CFS but it wont work in the country where a RCR or Hazmat briagde has to drive for a hour or more just to get to a job.....
There are some photos on OZFIRE of the van......

How the wheel revolves CFS tried this years ago Smithfield CFS was one brigade that had a rescue van the managers in town should just concerntrate on building better appliances. They're trying a van? Why cause its cheap!
pumprescue:
Rumour has it that the van can only just squeeze the barest of essentials and isn't carrying a full RCR kit. Also apparently the whole POD idea is out the window, so basically they haven't acheived anything. :x

Would also be a cheaper option to maintain.

can we please get the concepty of emergency vehicles and box trailers out of our respective heads.....its the 21st century. They are dangerous on the road, bad to work from an OHS perspective, and reinforce our half-arsed ness about dealing with emergency response.
If we need to have a Rescue Pump, then lets for heavens sake build one that takes the standard stowage. Its not that hard.
The vans have a place in support, particularly Hazmat, but honestly, if you were going to look at an RCR support vehicle, it wouldn't be the Try-undai. Try a dual cab Tradie type 4 x 4 with a slide out rear tray- useful for additional blocks, second pump, specialist tools or whatever u want
