Bagyassfirey:
looks pretty high tech...Wonder how they will find the Auto.. My worry is the limited use of it? and even though it leans towards great use in a stubble/crop/grassland fire with minimal crew any of us that have mostly these fires know that its near impossible to extinguish a flank with one line usually need the second one behind the first to mop it up. hence the question will the OIC be able to fight the fire,and if 1st arriving appliance assume incident control and provide sitreps and ramp up the incident if needed.having said that it would be awsum to have a crack at a fire with one.

rescue5271:
There is no crew deck to work from hence the 3 monitors and joysticks,it comes in 3000lt and 4000lt it will be doing a tour of the CFA regions and I am hoping to get along to see it when its down this way for a look.

boss:
what would be more idel is for the to rear passagers ( window sides ) to have control of the side monators coz of a better view of the fire at hand and the oic to have control of the front monator but with switches to take control if need.. And make up to water and heat resistant camaers top and bottem  of the monator so the crew dont have to have there windows down to see the flames with out getting wet at the same time

thats my thourt any way
