[Pipster]

The current type 2's built in SA?   When did SEM move back to SA?

Yeah the problem isn't where they are built it is who designs them, cfs need to design the truck with the help of the brigades that would get one and then tell the manufacturers what to build instead of just picking one out of a book that might do what we want.

Re cost of type 2 as discussed before they are around the $300,000 mark depending on stowage.

there is nothing wrong with the design of the type two pumper its just that people dont understand its a URBAN PUMPER not a rural/urban appliances......

Does anyone know if there will be any new type 2 pumpers over the next 12 months or do you think they may be trying to use 34P's instead?

I believe all the contracts this year were for 34's, 34P's and QAV's, so I doubt they'll be any new pumpers coming...

It will come down to MONEY and what a brigade needs if any more type two pumpers are to be built,I for one would like to see a few more of these they are well worth the money and are a great unit...Just have to sell it too some brigade's who want their own home made unit......

If it met the needs for those brigades areas risks, then yes it would be fine. OH&S and BA issues are the problems with he Type 2's for the busier brigades.

So what are the OHSW and CABA issues??  The design and lay out of the type 2 has been around for many years people keep saying the busy brigade's have issues with these??? Well why is it that CFS brigades are the only ones with the issue?? NSWFB don't have issues CFA don't have issue's....With the Penola pulp mill going ahead i can see a need to have a type two pumper at penola as the currant 24p will not be able to do the job of boosting to the hydrant and sprinkler system .

The NSWFB has no issue with putting Type 2 pumpers in its retained stations, but you will never find them in their permanent stations.

Its good to note though that the CFA also use Aerials and other applicable appliances when the CFS will not even consider the idea.

Home made unit's like naracoorte rescue and pumper? 

[rescue5271]

Naracoorte pumper was made by Moore, and our rescue was made by SEM(VIC) pumper has had its problem and you have to remember this was the first and last pumper that Moore wanted to make.....

Would like to know what the union says is wrong with the type 2 pumpers or is that a union secrete
