Update on the graveyard Belair Pumper, Greenhill 32,Hahndorf Pumper have now had the backs taken off the appliances in readiness for their new life as tankers.

Happy Valley Pumper is nowhere to be seen but believed to be getting the same treatment. :-(

A plumber bought the old Bridgewater 22, (International) with the intention of using for his plumbing business, but was never able to get the pump going..... SG Halloran Plumbing, from Crafers area or thereabouts.....

you do know you just have to get approval from the regional commander to be able to carry non-CFS people in a CFS vehicle?

Maybe a kind truck driver with a flat bed truck can carry one of the applicances for you. The it is not at risk of breakdown or accident, the longer journey the historic vehicle can be protected by tarps, people still see it at Birdwood and the family is in the cab of the haulage truck.

I have spoken to the powers to be and am waiting word back to see if we can bring down the old TTG RFW,we have a brigade officer who has a low loader and will bring to Adelaide and then we have a crew that would love to run it around the hills....I am also taking the work pumper out on that day for a run so it should be  a great day to take photos and see what people have...Sorry the blitz would not make iy,well it would but would have to leave a week before hand to get there.

Hi there all

Blinky I am sure some thing can be arrange regarding releasing appliances for the fire engine run - will bring it up at the next meeting on the 11th November.

there is a shed at peterborough thats got 4 in it plus back end of 2 units from the west cost and word is the Eudunda's EFS truck once it is restored it will be going there too

Boss

Unless something has happened in the last week while I have been on nightshifts - this is un-true.  The shed at Peterbrough we have ear marked as storage facility for the Heritage group still has not been approved for use.........

Well the street Parade went off very well today in Naracoorte and it was great to see so many people come out on a warm sunny day and support Volunteers who give up so much time to protect their community....I would like to thank REX HALL who over the past few years has been a big player in the history of CFS appliances but above all a great man who will always stand up for the rights of the Volunteer's.If it was not for REX,then today would not have gone ahead....

There was one big hitch in the day and I just want to say to those up the chain,time you came to terms that CFS is not only about the members who answer the call but   our family's who stand by and support us.... If members wish to take their children on a fire appliance's in a parade and they are being looked after by a adult then it should be allowed... I could go on about this but i wont as I know the matter is going to go all the way to the top.....
