Future Appliances

Murray Bridge has just been replaced, Burnside Pumper will be replaced soon, [...]

will it?  need agreement from all parties first I think...

Hmmmm was looking at the government auctions site the other day and they are selling the old Hino's for between $18,000 and $22,000.Not much of a return on an outlay of $90,000 for the older Hino's with low k's,but then again who would want them eh

interesting, I wondered how much they went for at the auctions ($18K - $22K seems quite a lot).  Do they sell with the pump, tank, hosereels etc still fitted?

There you go....my info was slightly different, but perhaps not entirely correct!!

In your post, however, you mention the other major problem facing CFS & new appliances.....that is fitting them in.

Many brigades took delivery of appliances, and when they hightlighted the fact that it wouldn't physically fit, were told "That's your problem"

Some brigades then spent their own funds on rebuilding the station, just so the appliance would fit!!!

Hahndorf got their "Type 2" by default as they couldnt get a 34 in their station because it was heritage listed

Was told that when Dalkeith lose their 24P that it will be going to Riverton, but could be wrong?? And as for Cleve's 32 i can't see CFS replacing it with another Pumper but the way they hand out trucks it wouldn't surprise me.

[boss]

I know Riverton was meant to get balaklava 24p the 24p was to replace the 22 that they got now i haven't heard if Riverton is getting dalkeith 24p or not.

Just found out the details re Saddleworth 34....it has been repaired, but is currently a spare...Saddleworth CFS have the old Truro 34, until such time as a new replacement arrives for Saddleworth.....

As for other appliance movements, who knows!!!

I know Riverton can't get the shed roof lifted till SAAS pulls there finger out and helps in the cost getting it done becouse the shed co-owned by them plus there to a bit of red tape to get past.

[fire03rescue]

Why should the SAAS have to help pay for the cost

[boss]

if SAAS dose not raise there side the building will be under stress because of the weight of it all.

Thats one fine looking fire/ambo station at riverton

[boss]

If you get the time to take a closer look at the station where the front pillers are is where the new doors are going to be. And the wall is going to be 4 to 7 layers higher than it is now.
