Im sure Google will have the answer...

Nah checked it. Nothing there...

I'll put money on it having wheels. In fact, I'll put money on that being the only thing that is similar to what the Burnside lads signed off on.

Ok here's the low down from the inside....
1) It will be a truck driven by an engine...
2) Likely to have a number of wheels, some that give the vehicle momentum and some that give it direction...
3) It will have some new technology, it's called a "pump" and designed to move liquid (generally known as H2O) from Point A to Point B...
4) It will have the ability to transfer the above "H2O" from point to point...
5) Likely to have space to the rear of the cabin and before the brake lights to be able to carry equipment to perform what it's required to do...
6) And latest rumour on the street is that it may be fitted with twin 1,000m 12mm "Gardina" technology first attack hose & the brigade is putting in extra funds to have snap lock fittings and branches that comply with water restriction regulations....

I don't know how one vehicle has caused so much opinion and stir and isn't yet even being built... How come say Naracoorte Pumper, Stirling Pumper, Nara Rescue, Ceduna 22 don't get as much recognition, arn't they all one offs?

i think everyones just eager to see the result mate

bittenyakka · « **Reply #131 on:** April 12, 2008, 12:55:06 PM »

the answer to that is that you are doing such a great job to push for progress in technology and equipment in the CFS that we all want to no How?

Not to mention it as been surrounded by mystery and rumor and there hasn't been any official "press relese" to the rest of the CFS or the world.

Seriously it will be good to see the finished product so other brigades can see what persistence can achieve, instead of here take this.

Is the cost going to be viable for CFS to produce in the future or is it only avaiable to those with excess cash ?

I asked a similar question of a Burnside CFS member and gee I got a passionate response...

Might help to define "viable" as the CFS doesn't seem to have enough money for anything...

pumprescue · « **Reply #137 on:** July 10, 2008, 01:46:10 PM »

As in not over $400.000 that seems to be the magic number, anything over that and Arthur just laughs at you.

Bajdas, I have had a similar response in the past.

Zippy · « **Reply #138 on:** July 10, 2008, 01:51:26 PM »

haha, time to be prepared to spend a bit more i say! $$$ for Quality. 7 better trucks is gonna last you 20 years, while 10 cheaper trucks are going to last you 10 years.

JC · « **Reply #139 on:** July 10, 2008, 03:51:02 PM »

Your looking at $207,000 for that type of volvo and thats excluding GST & on roads. So you add in the cost for the rear build, and all the other bit n peices you would be looking at roughly $500,000.

Its looks like a well laid out truck.

Alan (Big Al) · « **Reply #140 on:** July 10, 2008, 03:56:40 PM »

No shortage in power thats for sure!!! Am surprised that it's 3000L but if you've got the space go for it.

Am looking forward to the finished product

JamesGar · « **Reply #141 on:** July 10, 2008, 04:13:06 PM »

I heard that the pump is now going to be a Rosenbauer.

Any truth to that rumour Rainer?

pumprescue · « **Reply #142 on:** July 10, 2008, 04:18:52 PM »

There is no doubt its going to be a good truck, I am just wondering if it can be engineered to appeal to the CFS and be available to those of us without money that need a truck like this.

Lets start with a euro chassis, volvo or scania?

pumprescue · « **Reply #144 on:** July 10, 2008, 04:27:20 PM »

Not when they are $200,000, the Isuzu's are waaaaaay under that. Its hard to get CFS to buy into a truck like this unless you can wave your own cash under their nose and even then look how long its taken Burnside to get CFS to agree, how old is their current truck, 27 or something ?

Zippy · « **Reply #145 on:** July 10, 2008, 04:32:41 PM »

hmm valid....its gonna be interesting the implementation of the new IZUZU NextGen Chassis's bit of a different look..

MFS Spare Scania's would be ideal

AAAhhh but thats exactly what they need for the drag races up the freeway isnt it?

3000L sounds pretty good to me.. more time to play before desperately needing to plumb in.

JC · « **Reply #147 on:** July 10, 2008, 10:45:38 PM »

The new FTR900 crew cab isuzu are approx $107,000 including GST & on roads.

Cameron Yelland · « **Reply #148 on:** July 11, 2008, 05:31:57 AM »

The new Isuzu chassis are pretty advanced compared to the previous models. Makes you wonder whether its just another that can go wrong on the fireground?

RescueHazmat · « **Reply #149 on:** July 11, 2008, 09:02:18 AM »

I'll have a volvo over an Isuzu ANY day..
