Toast they could give us back our old Acco....now theres a pumper :-D

Negative, its offline and being restored for the CFS Historical group apparently. Roseworthy have a 24P and 34 instead. Which together still dont compensate for the loss...

No, they are talking about the pumper Stirling had before they got the Isuzu 950...  when the new Stirling pumper was offline, we had an MFS Acco replacement, but it was different to the old Stirling pumper ;)

No, no, no, PF - Yankee trucks look like the old Stirling Pumper!

IIRC that pumper was built in New Zealand, specifically for the brigade, and shipped over to Melbourne.  It had its first fire on the drive to Adelaide when it came across a vehicle fire of some sort. At the time it was the best pumping appliance in the CFS and also the most expensive...
