mmm... maybe we shouldnt jump to conclusions by just looking in yards full of trucks? these things must be subject to change i guess... well yeah come to think of it... if you break/absoloutely ruin your truck, then i guess it might change it?

Excellent stuff really - people go to Moores, see a name than tell the world!!!!!

If a brigade is in line for a new truck, so be it, that is between them and the CFS hireachy - not other brigades, individuals etc, etc, etc.

Why not focus on real issues - like why a 34P won't supply sufficient pressure uphill through a hp line and 3 lengths of layflat ..... oh thats right, we don't get fires like that in the Adelaide Hills - MUCH!

Are you sure a 34P won't do that?

I have seen 60 metres of rubber wajaxed to four or five lengths of 25mm canvas, pumping up a you have to see it to believe type hill, no problems at all.

34P have a nice 500GPM Pump much better than the 250's on the old HINO fleet.

Happy to be proved wrong though

Apology - it will do it, but a single stage pump struggles compared with a two stage and the output pressure from the single stage dribbles in comparison!

But horses for courses - they are a mass produced appliance, meant to cover many applications and in that regard they do meet the bill.

Maybe we just have to let the fire get closer ...... saves energy from dragging hose, walking up/down steep terrain, bowling additional lay flat - and saves time making up too - come to think of it, not a bad plan!

Anyone seen or heard of the 34p PTO driven prototype that is meant to be built??? It's been a while since the last of the standard 34p's has been handed out and haven't heard of this new one being dealt out???

Alan (Big Al) · « **Reply #106 on:** April 21, 2007, 08:55:42 PM »

Ha ha funny exactly 1 year to the day since anyones posted in this topic and it was me

Anywho back on topic, Ceduna has recieved the first of the 2007 34P's a much needed addition to the brigade, and no doubt it will rack up some some kms pretty quick with some of the jobs they attend to.

Jamestown also received one on thursday(?). Not sure what it replaced.

There's lots of new 34P's & 34's to come.....so lots of appliance movements..problem is that things change between a brigade being told they are getting a new appliance, and the time it arrives...... like Rapid Bay - they were meant to be getting a new 34, but it didn't fit in the shed, so they got Yankalilla's old 24 instead when Yank got a new 34....so until the appliance is actually in the station / shed, it can't be confirmed...!

Pip, have you heard of any type 2's being made in the near future?

Alan (Big Al) · « **Reply #111 on:** April 22, 2007, 05:02:58 PM »

Jamestown?

they had a 24P can't understand why they would get a 34P unless it's for hazmat overdrums to fit on the appliance?

Zippy · « **Reply #112 on:** April 22, 2007, 05:53:21 PM »

If they happened to have a yr 2000 model 24P....im beginning to see a pattern....

It is a bit strange for us to be getting a 34P to replace the 24P, we lose some storage locker space which being a hazmat BA appliance is a bit strange.

Alan (Big Al) · « **Reply #113 on:** April 22, 2007, 06:02:26 PM »

One of the oak/bal members mentioned to me on a strike team that they were getting one for that reason so they could carry over drums!!!!

Could be the same reason that Yankallila is meant to be getting one for as well.

But if they do that then stirling north, willunga, Port lincoln etc etc should all get one as well

Zippy · « **Reply #114 on:** April 22, 2007, 06:07:30 PM »

Must be a hazmat thing....so Stirling and Burnside as well

Thanks for the insite...certainly sumthing 2 talk about at trainin 2morrow night

bittenyakka · « **Reply #115 on:** April 22, 2007, 06:45:39 PM »

Why doesn't CFS invest in over drum trailers as it is cheaper than a 34p and you won't exactly need an over drum in a hurry? ( on the basis that hazmat jobs last along time)

Pipster · « **Reply #116 on:** April 22, 2007, 07:02:11 PM »

Jamestown got a new 34P, and it replaced their 18 year old 34, which is going to be the Region 4 Spare, as the previous Region 4 spare went to Mt Bryan to replace the crash damaged one........

The info re Jamestown I have, is that generally Hazmat gear will be on one appliance, and RCR on the other. I think the brigade is in the process of working out where everything is going to go.

Yank got a 34, not a 34P..

Not aware of any more of the "Type 2" pumpers being delivered this year...BUT I am not usually aware of who is getting an appliance, what type, or when, generally, until it arrives (or the brigade concerned lets me know about it!!)

I did hear from someone in the know is that two type two pumpers have been ordered or will be in 2007/2008 budget year I did hear where one was going but as pip said till its in the station and has ya name on it its a waiting game...Just as afew brigades who drive past moores and see their brigade name on it and they never get the appliances..Now I am a betting man so I think Meningie will get a 34p very soon or by the end of the year...........

Alan (Big Al) · « **Reply #118 on:** April 23, 2007, 10:20:31 AM »

Believe yank is getting a 34P to replace the 24P as another brigade is getting their 24P, but as you say until it's done it hearsay

New type 2 for Naracoorte maybe Bill?

5271rescue · « **Reply #120 on:** April 24, 2007, 12:27:21 PM »

No i would say on the coast south of the city.....

calspec · « **Reply #121 on:** April 25, 2007, 12:23:12 AM »

We could start a book...

My money would be elsewhere, Seaford just got the Dennis (assuming you were referring to Seaford), so my guess would be another brigade with significant urban risk and high call out rate. Salisbury comes to mind, or another brigade in their group. Can't see Morphett Vale getting it, that would make three pumpers in the group, with none north of the city. Now, if Burnside has changed their mind...

Zippy · « **Reply #122 on:** April 25, 2007, 10:32:22 AM »

probably another pumper for mt barker wouldnt surprise me.

5271rescue · « **Reply #123 on:** April 25, 2007, 11:45:38 AM »

I will make it easy for you all,this brigade as a large urban risks,they have around 20/25 sprinkler booster systems in their area of cover,they are also looking at a large residential expansion over the next few years.They are one hour from the CBD,they currently have two appliances.......
