The word from 1 of the barker boys was that the type 2 was ~$290,000....

Mt Barkers type 2 was altered for rescue so could of possibly cost more then a normal type 2.

Also $100,000 for the Dennis was the quoted price wasnt it? After all the screwing around and unexpected stuff didnt it cost a heap more?

i believe there were a few extra $$ involved to get it fixed up a wee bit...

Time CFS made up its mind on what pumper is best for the service and that volunteers had a berrt input into what is needed...MMMMM are we of topic?

medevac · « **Reply #54 on:** July 03, 2006, 07:58:21 PM »

Im under the impression they have decided... type 2's are the only pumps being supplied recently.

rescue5271 · « **Reply #55 on:** July 03, 2006, 08:01:51 PM »

At last,way to go and they are a great pumper and will look good in a few country stations that need a pumper and yes also in those hills brigades...

PF_ · « **Reply #56 on:** July 03, 2006, 08:21:54 PM »

So no more 24P, 34P's?

Type2 looks better definetely.

medevac · « **Reply #57 on:** July 03, 2006, 08:28:15 PM »

24Ps and 34Ps are not pumpers...

from the current trend i am under the impression that CFS wil lstill use

14s
34s
34Ps
type 2s

just from my observations not any hard fact

What are they then

Scania_1 · « **Reply #59 on:** July 03, 2006, 09:45:21 PM »

well 24P and 34P appliances still serve a purpose for brigades that need an appliance(s) to serve a dual role of both urban type incidents as well as rural type jobs, So type 2 pumpers arent suitable for everyone.
24P,34P = 500gpm pumps. about 1900 litres per minute
Type 2 = 750gpm pumps. about 3000 litres per minute.

so yes there is a bit of difference.

Athol,you are correct a type two pumper will not suite most brigades and it should be noted I did say pumper as that is what they are. A 24 or 34p are jsut that a part time pumper a little like the CFA pumper/tanker,not a bad looking appliances.

not really... and dont take this as a diss burnside.. because its not.

burnside pumper is aorund the 25yo mark and due for replacement.... and then they have a 24 and a tanker...

state hazmat is alright for the purpose it serves...

you'd think for the area they cover theyd have some top stuff... but then again they are stationed in MFS area

once again dont take that the wrong way

pumprescue · « **Reply #63 on:** July 05, 2006, 03:11:20 PM »

All I can say is Scania's and Retained fire fighters....

Nah I would like to say that I am proud that Burnside have stood up to his political crap coming from the top and are not standing back to watch their brigade fall. I still do not understand how brigades can get pumpers 25 years ago and get them replaced with a rural 34p....

the everything truck? yeah, not too bad. I like the hazmat truck better, more fun and expensive toys.

Mike · « **Reply #68 on:** July 06, 2006, 11:57:45 AM »

If its the same hazmat truck I remember... its a brick on wheels! lol

CFS_Firey · « **Reply #69 on:** July 06, 2006, 01:20:26 PM »

Biggest fly swatter in the CFS. Drove the brick to Gladstone and my what a mess is was.

rescue5271 · « **Reply #72 on:** July 06, 2006, 08:06:15 PM »

Time burside got some new appliances so as they can keep up the good work and lets face it who else would want the state hazmat unit at their station?

State Hazmat was a mess, or Gladstone was a mess?
