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

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?

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

Pipster · « **Reply #28 on:** December 12, 2006, 09:03:58 AM »

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.......

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

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!

Dennis the Menace

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

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 · « **Reply #35 on:** December 12, 2006, 02:59:36 PM »

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

boss · « **Reply #36 on:** December 12, 2006, 03:21:59 PM »

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

bittenyakka · « **Reply #37 on:** December 12, 2006, 03:52:58 PM »

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

Camo · « **Reply #38 on:** December 12, 2006, 04:10:43 PM »

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

May be we can use the dennis for RCR training

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

CAPT - H/V STATION

Oh Oh maybe they should have kept 24P

medevac · « **Reply #42 on:** December 12, 2006, 07:20:26 PM »

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

Alan (Big Al) · « **Reply #43 on:** December 12, 2006, 10:38:21 PM »

^^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 · « **Reply #44 on:** December 12, 2006, 10:51:25 PM »

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...

Alan (Big Al) · « **Reply #45 on:** December 12, 2006, 10:53:59 PM »

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??

Must be on teh SES truck

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...
