Let me explain what a pumper tanker is for you,its a fire truck with large water and pumping capacity.At the moment they dont have a vehicle that does both.

Can you elaborate on what specific capacities you are referring to?

In the CFS world a tanker is normally at least 6000ltrs or more. Just saying large is a very relative term. :-)

Are you just referring to a normal pumper with higher than normal water capacity for SAMFS(normal being 1000-1800ltrs). Or are you suggesting a true tanker as in bulk water in the realms of 6000 ltrs.

CFA call their trucks tankers so do you mean a 34P type truck?

Edit: I meant CFA, not CFS.

I would be guessing, but I am assuming Pete is referring to the Pumper Tankers like MFB and QFRS.  - Like the Scania/ International Twin axel Chassis, 8000lt / m Pumps etc.


That is what I know a " Pumper Tanker / Ultra Large" as.

After posting ^^ , and looking into it, I found CFA also have a " Pumper Tanker " on an Isuzu Chassis.

See pictures here.

24P - That was the type of appliance that sprung to mind with the title " Pumper Tanker "..  :)

Sounds like a great idea and something CFS could follow suit with!!!

It would be nice to arrive at a going incident and know you had more than a couple of minutes of water, before you needed a hydrant!

Have seen the MFB and NSWFB ones - when speaking to the crews they had nothing but praise (execpt for the extra weight and licence upgrade)

When you say 24P it makes you think of "wannabe pumper" or "lil Pumper"

No, sorry, I was referring to the forum user, 24P - With his picture of the twin axel Scania - Being the Pumper Tanker - which is what springs to mind when I hear "P/Tanker" :)

MFS could do with some pumper tankers, maybe 3 or 4 at like STN 43, 42, 35, 32 and maybe even 22 or 44.

CFS were looking into them, basically a 34p but on dual rear axle and 6000L of water. Several areas could use these. I don't know what ever happened to the idea.

I don't think they would be on a 4x4, i think they were looking at the Isuzu 1400 the same as lofty tanker so i don't know what they would be called, probably pumper tanker would be easiest and most descriptive.

Maybe they could put portable pumps on them and make them as rude and agricultural as the lofty tanker
