Title: CFS urban appliances set-up
Post by: uniden on July 02, 2007, 07:00:53 PM
Having not seen a new CFS urban pumper in the flesh I was wondering where/how the standpipe and turncock key are stored?? You would think CFS would copy the idea that the MFS use, utilising a trolley type arrangement for all the necesary equipment. AS long as you can find a suitable place for it..

we have a trolley.....


but not on a type 2.
mounted on the rear of the appliance.

i think the gear is mounted in one of the trays on the type 2 but cannot confirm.

We have one standpipe/key stored in the pull out tray on the rear (near side) of the appliance and a spare one in the offside rear storage locker.

The idea is to stop items falling off the appliances,standpipes,turncock keys etc, and MFS have lost a few trolleys in their time,but luckily recovered after some embarrassment :-P

Calspec, you have a second standpipe and turncock key in that locker on the Right? (OS4 I believe) ? Must have a bit of room in the locker..

Yes Rescue we are rich for space.  These Pumpers certainly can swallow quite a lot.  There's even enough room for some RCR equipment  :wink:
But I don't think that will happen anytime soon.
