Rumour has it Seaford :wink:
Yea, I hear that to, they are in need of a better 24P and they deserve it.
Would be good to see Seaford get the 24P, then they could possibly use their old one as a spare :wink:
you could send the 24p to naracoorte till we get our pumper back or till we get a new pumper.....
Bill i saw your pumper the other day and the body was off the cab chassis.
sweet but I dont think we will see it for sometime,and the region spare is a little old and in need of some work......

i heard barker :?
Some How I don't think the Barker Boys would like a 24p Over the Dennis, just seems a lil backwards if you ask me
What Barker need 3 pumpers now???(and don't give me that crap that a 24P isn't a pumper)What Barker needs is a QAV to back up the 24??
My money's on Seaford. But any brigade with an increasing urban risk that does not have a dual cab pump could be on a short list (IMO).
Barker handed their 24P to Littlehampton when they recieved the pump/rescue, I can't see them accepting a similar appliance back in replacement for their troublesome Dennis.
Either fix the Dennis (properly) or replace it with a comparable appliance (Type 2?). Even if that was to occur, they would still only have two pumps and a 24 rural.
Back to HVP, we get our first real play with it tonight with a special training session to be held. don't know wether it has been designated yet or still waiting for the signwriter.
Viva La Pumper.
:-D :-D :-D
Is Happy Valley 24P NA or Turbo?
That was entirely its problem. NO TURBO. Fine if you've got flat country to cover. Useless in steep urban streets that are pentiful in the Happy Valley/Chandlers Hill/Aberfoyle Park area. It's pump was only just passable for use in boosting jobs.
What about the new 34P's. Are the Pumps on those bigger?
I belive the pumps are the same. Darley HE500. This is in the 2005 specs as taken from Sept 05 Volunteer mag. 2006 spec may or may not be the same. 2 in/2 out arrangement also very limiting in urban fires.
Pump specs are designed to be:
34P 3000Lt/Min
24P 2000Lt/Min
MrT
I am pretty sure that the 34P`s are a Darley HE500 still, the 500 being gallons per minute. Which equates to about 1900 litres per minute. The type 2`s are 750gpm or 3000 litres per minute.

Pump specs are designed to be:
34P 3000Lt/Min
24P 2000Lt/Min
MrT
Designed to be?? Do you mean that is what it was meant to be able to produce in the outset when designing the trucks? If so they have failed terribly with pump choice..
Even the Type 2 (Designated Pumper) have a Rosenbauer NH30, putting out 2900Lt/Min at (I believe) 8 Bar.
So if the 24P / 34P were *meant* to be able to put out those figures, then they have had their pumps rather seriously downgraded since. I think the largest pump is a 500gpm darley on those appliances.

Winner :lol: Correct it is going for a refurbishment Tuesday and will be delivered after that :wink:
So what are they going to do with the dennis??? And what will they get to replace the 24P or will that be the front runner??
maybe burnside want the dennis?
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
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:
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 :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:
so they will get the dennis back as a state spare?
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.
Well I hope 24p gets some sort of Referb before it heads to Barker, just to make sure everything works in it well :wink:
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
so will barker end up with two identical pumpers or is the 24p staying?
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 :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:
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:
^^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.
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
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 :roll:

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

There are a batch of new appliances being built, some of which are due to start moving out to brigades soon, with the associated movement of appliances / refurbishments etc
Pip
Do you know which appliances are going where Pip?
Not yet!
Although I understand there are several older appliances (mainly 19 & 20 year old Rear entry Hinos) that CFS are keen to replace - either with a new appliance, or a refurbished one
Pip
Adam I am sure it will be there soon.....

Looks like her first job was a going domestic. Hope she performed to expectations. Sorry I missed it (at work).
K88 on arrival and smokin from end to end,fire confined to bedroom extensive damage :wink:
Also Happy Valley Pumper got it's first bit of publicity in Todays Advertiser. Pumper was used for the Photo about the Road Toll, quite a sad pic to look at but Pumper did get shown off, just a little bit
Now for some of those HV day crew boys to go to some goods house fires like the old days...
Oh yeah, the "Four Cranks"...No wait, we've lost one to the MFB. :-D
So i bet HV was happy to get the Brothers Grimm back from Barker :-o :lol:
Any additional crew that can respond during the day, that are BA qualified, are always welcome. No brigade would enjoy having to default because of a lack of numbers. So to get additional qualified AND experienced crew is good, very good.
It may mean, however, that some less experienced crew members may start missing the truck again. You can't have the best of both worlds, we will find what bests fits for our brigades needs, I have no doubt.
