Well done with Who established it. That was Mr F.L.Kerr.
I am not sure where the 1st training centre was.
I am looking for the Year.

Clue: F.L.Kerr retired in 1979 so it must be before that date.

Burnside also use 50mm and I have also (unconfirmed) been told that Blackwood do too.... Someone may be able to confirm / deny this.....

Close!! 18mm with High Pressure Pump on our 14. 130 metres of line on the reel. We are in Mountain Goat country, and use this up and down the steep hills. Also, High Pressure gun on the end, conserves water very well

How many Type 2 Pumpers are in service with CFS?

calspec · « **Reply #139 on:** December 15, 2006, 09:04:56 PM »

Eden Hills
Hahndorf
Happy Valley
Millicent
Mount Barker Rescue
Murray Bridge Pumper

But what about Naracoorte? Isn't that classed as a Type II as well? All be it an earlier version.

Ryan · « **Reply #140 on:** December 15, 2006, 09:06:50 PM »

And Nuri

calspec · « **Reply #141 on:** December 15, 2006, 10:57:25 PM »

Of course, Nuri. Just didn't write that one in. So that is 7 plus Naracoorte (if it counts). I don't think Stirling counts as a type 2?.

Alan (Big Al) · « **Reply #142 on:** December 16, 2006, 06:44:47 AM »

Oh yeah forgot about the bridge having one

Camo · « **Reply #143 on:** December 16, 2006, 07:08:27 AM »

Type 2 is just the design name given to it as it originated in the NSWFB.

So Naracoorte and Stirling wouldnt be a type 2 Pumper although they may have nearly the same specs?

No Naracoorte is not a type two pumper hope when we get this one replaced that we get a type two....By the way we hope to get our pumper back next week and that way when can send the region 24 away for some TLC.....

Dont hold your breath Bill. By the time you get a new pumper the Type 2's will have passed and they will be onto some new design.

One just like Mt Buller would suit ya. Never get bogged again.

As said in this thread, a "Type 2 pumper" is actually a (NSW) "Pumper class 2". Stirling and Mt Barker pumpers' would be "Pumper Class 3" or "Pumper Class 4". I'm not sure how they work out the class of their pumpers, but I think its based on pump capacity and truck size, rather than who builds it, or what make the chassis is... (If that clears anything up!
