[SA Firey]

It'll be a awesome crowd control vehicle in the *future*...for when recession/depression hits.   :evil:  :mrgreen:  :-)

Wont be any problem squirting the crowds with the riot monitor :-P

[Zippy]

Nah no build ups, but they will have 8 new prototypes and you can pick from that.

[bittenyakka]

oh so the news report was pretty much telling the state about Aurthur's "fit for purpose appliance" discussion paper. no biggie :-D

[Zippy]

lol....makes me want headphones at work...rather than just seeing visuals.

[rescue5271]

He also said that a brigade will be able to at long last select the appliances that they want for their area, understand that there is a paper floating around saying this in some groups....

[rescue5271]

Now that CFS have said brigades can now pick their next appliance I hope we see of few more of these pumpers...

Burnside boys it looks good. but what ever happened to the Millicent / Bridgewater (i think) (Built by Skilled in Vic) style Hino style pumpers.Hp and Lp stages on pump 750gpm Quad 64mm inlets, Quad 64mm outlets and just in case a 125mm storz inlet. Add another hose reel and you have a useful truck.

All in look good, need to see it stowed and used in anger.

I beleive your thinking of the original NSWFB style "Type 2" pumpers on Isuzu chassis that Nuri and Millicent originally got.
Burnside were offered one but turned it down to build their own which was more for their area and stowage.

[Pipster]

I think firey 666 was referring to what was called an URP...Bridgewater has one, Nuri, Bordertown and a few others.....now commonly called a 24P

I do think he meant the type 2 he described it down to a tee but meh.

I think someone's put 2 and 2 together and got 37.

[bittenyakka]

Its a government department, they change the rules to suit so 2+2=37 is possible. Kinda like the matrix  :-D :-D

[misterteddy]

can we please have the 2 Burnside pumper threads merged Mr Moderators.....pretty please

The crowd will have to be provided with eye protection before the monitor can be used, wouldnt want to upset OH&S :-)

[Firey9119]

Good to see everyone wearing appropriate PPE with good traffic control in place in the photo above :roll:

traffic control thats what the monitor is for isn't it?? :evil:

Now I'm thinking about the OH&S Issues associated with those...erm... "Adult" Films. Thanks champ!

[pumprescue]

Its funny, for most of us the Type 2 is out of reach, be nice to be offered one let alone be able to knock it back and do a Burnside.

But I would rather see fire in a Type 2 than a stop call in fancy Volvo.

Bow chicka bowbow.......Im hearing ya!

And we have a winner!

But man 150 calls and a handful of CoQ is the stuff that "What if" dreams are made for...

[rescue5271]

I did hear that it cost $450K for the pumper would that be right???/

[uniden]

Question is...would CFS...and would they be happy lol.

Question is, do you know there is more to this firefighting business than Scanias and 'cool stuff'?

T

(Just don't tell anyone who used CoQ as a justification for the pumper that the thing still can't supply a Bronto ;))

Looking at the specs the pump is 1000gpm same as the mets pumpers. So why couldnt it??
