New Burnside Pumper

[mack]

Damn you guys still talking about Burnside Pumper. It's easy they'll get a Type 2 or what they want, then the rest of the CFS urban fringe brigades that are busier than Burnside will be putting their hands up for one. I can see it now.

whats the p[rob with that though?

Actually I don't think you know anything about the situation at Burnside, they have already stated that a Type 2 is not an option and that they are prepared to put their own dollars in towards a suitable replacement for the Volvo. Other urban fringe brigades are already in line for a Type 2 but not Burnside.

So who has said a type 2 is not a option......

[bittenyakka]

why don't we all support this. most people would agree that some of th best trucks ever in CFS were made specifically by those lucky brigades. In this day an age where everytrhing takes ages lets support burnside in developing their own truck and mabey a processe will come out of it that other brigades can use to do similar.

[rescue5271]

Sounds good but would only work if your brigade has the money........

[6739264]

It shouldn't be up to individual brigades to fund the R&D for their own appliances.

[bittenyakka]

I reckon if CFS said you can have a 34p or $x ( x= cost of 34p) to put to wards your own appliance it would work. because for 90% of the state standard cfs appliances are fine.

[Zippy]

the "custom" appliances these days would still need to go under the scruitiny of the CFS Risk assessment team....and would still have to follow standards...

[rescue5271]

I did not think brigade's where allowed to have large amounts of money in the bank???so what ever happended to the funding for the 34p auto that burnside was going to get?? as that gone else where???

[Zippy]

yeh i think the days of homemade appliances are long gone....even the application for a new Onkaparinga Tanker has to go through CFS HQ.

I don't think people mean "homemade" they mean custom designed for that brigades needs - and built professionally...

Isn't it funny that people complain that CFS HQ don't consult enough with the volunteers about appliances, but when a brigade decides to push for an appliances they need, those same people tell them to shut up and take what everyone else has...?

[fireblade]

Wake me up when it's over in a few years :-D

[oz fire]

WHO CARES

There are 464 other brigades to worry about

[rescue5271]

[Zippy]

[6739264]

[OMGWTF]

Cheers Bill... noone else got the subtlety of FBRT's post.... :-o


Rumor i heard was theyd be getting a Volvo FM9 to play with.
Stefan?

[Darcyq]

No surprise their, it would have to be a Volvo because BMW don't make trucks, they need to fit in with the Burnside demographic.  :-D

[6739264]

Ah, in that case it may well be a Merc? ;)

It doesn't matter as long as it can get them to the coffee shop for a Latte.
