Happy Valley type 2 pumper

[jason]

Dennis is going to the grave yard.. 24p will be the front runner at this stage...

[Ryan]

WHy doesnt Barker have hahndorfs Type2 and give Hahndorf the 24P, or are they gonna now make the 24P rescue appliance and have their current type 2 (not the one theyre borrowing) as strictly a pumper not rescue?

[boss]

why don't give the dennis a full overhaul and pass it onto another metro cfs brigade

[Pipster]

It already had a full refurbishment before arriving in SA....but appears to have constant problems - one problem is fixed, and the next one appears.......   :-(

It was originally bought as a trial - if it went well, CFS would seriously consider buying more...if it went poorly.......   :wink:

[boss]

no strip the moter, gearbox,the pump moter all back and rebuild it all  :? :? :?

[Camo]

meanwhile you probaly could of paid for another pumper to be built but instead wasted a heap of money on a 15 year old piece of junk!

[SA Firey]

Dennis the Menace :lol:

Latest saga is they had a windscreen come from New Zealand damaged and there were two more there but they were also damaged(in the same place) so now one is coming from London.

Might be back in service by Xmas :roll:

[Camo]

so they will get the dennis back as a state spare?

[Scania_1]

Should paint Barker Pumper and Stirling Pumper yellow they are both friggin lemons.

Don't think so... Dennis has more problems then just the windscreen...
24p is just a temp for Mt Barker, its not going to get referb, just a name change... barker boys are happy.

[HV_RKO007]

Well I hope 24p gets some sort of Referb before it heads to Barker, just to make sure everything works in it well  :wink:

[boss]

take the filtered thing to city truck dismantlers or sims scrap matel depo and get some money back on it / grog for the barker boys for all the headache they got form it :-D

[bittenyakka]

so will barker end up with two identical pumpers or is the 24p staying?

[Camo]

I can only imagine they will get another type 2 along the track.  Unless the CFS decide to trial something new again.  Maybe a skyjet? pml

[5271rescue]

May be we can use the dennis for RCR training

[SA Firey]

Well I hope 24p gets some sort of Referb before it heads to Barker, just to make sure everything works in it well  :wink:

It is getting a cut and polish as well as a rebadge before they get it :wink:

1908977 20:14:18 12-12-06 HAPPY VALLEY *INFO* PUMPER OFF LINE DO NOT TAKE OUT OF SHED :( CAPT - H/V STATION 

Oh Oh maybe they should have kept 24P :mrgreen:

[medevac]

latest rumor i heard was dennis to go to a "less busy metro station" and barker to run a pumprescue, 24P and 24....

so the same truck that houses rescue gear would be frontrunning pump  :roll:

[Alan (Big Al)]

^^Isn't that the case with most brigades who have RCR and a 24P/pumper??

Just out of complete bewilderment when is Dalkeith getting the 34Penis it's been floating around for a while??? Spoke to a member on KI and they were told if they kept hassling for it the name could easily be changed to someone else!!!! Good ol threats always shut's em up :|

Perhaps on the next batch of SES rescues CFS could fork out for one for Barker that would give them the stand alone and they are fairly decent truck and a lot faster than the canter too.

[Pipster]

Dalkeith 34P  was sent back to its maker for some more work...not sure when it is due back, or what was wrong with it...

I don't think the brigade have actually had it, other than for a show a few weeks ago...    :-(

Pip

[Alan (Big Al)]

Another quick question obviously Tea Tree Gully are getting a 34P or something to that effect as they have just lost their front running urban appliance???? Where is the RCR equipment stowed until new appliance arrives as you would be pushing filtered up hill to fit the gear on the 24 and definatly not the 14???

Is their 14 being refurbished and sent somewhere else or being de-commissioned as that was decent looking appliance??

[5271rescue]

Must be on teh SES truck :roll:

[squiddy]

Perhaps on the next batch of SES rescues CFS could fork out for one for Barker that would give them the stand alone and they are fairly decent truck and a lot faster than the canter too.

Perhaps the illustrious leader of Adelaide Hills SES could relinsquish power and then SES and CFS could end up in the same building as one service... then SES would happily pay for a new rescue truck...

*falls over laughing at the thought of the "leader" relinquishing anything*

[bittenyakka]

aren't there a couple of new 34p's sitting around somewhere?

[Ryan]

*falls over laughing at the thought of the "leader" relinquishing anything*

The leader is good the leader is great we surrender our will as of this day
nah nah nah nah nah batman!, I mean LEADER!
This lima bean looks like "The Leader!"
