SES trailer mounted flood pumps

<< < (2/3) > >>

oz fire:
Similar fittings to the bombers that CFS use, so there are already coupling adaptors around!

Maybe SES has supplied those too!

Better SES have a pump trailer on site than having to comit a fire appliance and crew all night!
Could also be useful for CFS to use for larger fires  - set SES up at water courses/dams to relay pump up to CFS - would save reversing down to dams as we have in different fires across the Adelaide Hills and also KI  :-)

MATTY:

--- Quote ---Thats all well and good but they are pretty useless with those couplings on them, what if water needs to be pumped a few kms like in murrey bridge and you need to use fire service hose and a combined SES and fire service relay.

Sturt's pump trailer has adapters to suit both MFS & CFS attachments..

PF_:
CFS and MFS sue the same male female couplings

Toast:
The SAFB couplings that both fire services use ;)

TillerMan:
Mmm i would have just thought in this day and age we would consault each other and get everything the same, bit like BA between MFS and CFS, we should be able to use each others gear and not need adaptors.
Although i have heard that SA is looking to go to storz fittings to match AFAC standards and eastern states.
