Mind you Police Rescue has enough trouble using RCR gear with their belt and side arm on, let alone with a BA set on
Huh?

Your previous answer did come across as snarly... Camo wasn't the only one that noticed it

Sorry... Just thought it was an odd question. Ill get back in my box.

Do the older style MFS appliances (volvo) have BA seats in them?

Alan (Big Al) · « **Reply #53 on:** November 03, 2006, 08:24:53 PM »

Yes, depending how old though? Victor just got a refurb Volvo FL7 with BA seats a first for that station, that appliance would be an early 90's one i think.

TillerMan · « **Reply #54 on:** November 05, 2006, 04:44:27 PM »

All re-furbed appliances are being fitted with BA seats from the FL7's to the newer appliances.

Ryan · « **Reply #55 on:** November 05, 2006, 07:54:42 PM »

the type2's should have them put in also. Who does BA seats, Moores or MFS engineering?

TillerMan · « **Reply #56 on:** November 06, 2006, 01:50:04 PM »

Like i said you will never fit a BA seat in a dual cab Isuzu.

MFS engineering fit BA seats to their appliances.

Moores can fit BA seats, they just put some in a single cab Isuzu for a mine as it has enough room behind the seat in a single cab for the cylinder to fit.

Why not just give all EMA brigades a Scania...problem Solvered

Scania_1 · « **Reply #58 on:** November 15, 2006, 04:23:18 PM »

Quite a big cost difference to an Isuzu type 2 though. Can only streth the $$ so far.

Ryan · « **Reply #59 on:** November 15, 2006, 04:26:34 PM »

not just for EMA brigades, all of them.

4x4 Scanias - how many trucks we got? 300 something?

say $500,000 each x 350 = 175000000

hell why not sounds like fun.

Im sure with that many we could probaly get the price down further too

Camo · « **Reply #62 on:** November 17, 2006, 03:13:15 PM »

nah red just doesnt match my uniform oh fashion dramas!

bittenyakka · « **Reply #63 on:** November 19, 2006, 09:55:56 AM »

Ok then CFS will get yellow Scanias

or white depending on the brigades fasion sense.

BA seats would speed things up but I went to an alarm the other day no fire but between the 2 brigades we had 5 BA operators prettymuch ready to go within 30-60 seconds of being there. Which gives the rest of the crew time to get some hose out.

Bill, was just in Melbourne and had a look ot some of their (MFB) trucks and they have them also

TillerMan · « **Reply #66 on:** November 21, 2006, 09:11:52 AM »

All states have ba seats in most paid fire service pumpers.

pumprescue · « **Reply #67 on:** November 21, 2006, 04:46:55 PM »

BA seats have been in fire appliances for years, look at DENNIS. You think SA would be the first to think of BA seats in pumpers, they don't even know how to build their own pumpers let alone be the forefront for new things.

Ryan · « **Reply #68 on:** November 23, 2006, 09:02:27 AM »

were the forefront in AUS to have PBI.

medevac · « **Reply #69 on:** November 23, 2006, 11:38:04 AM »

were still in dark ages

bittenyakka · « **Reply #70 on:** November 23, 2006, 12:10:08 PM »

LOL at the rate PBI is arriving You would think that it was comming on horse and cart.

SA Firey · « **Reply #71 on:** November 23, 2006, 10:08:54 PM »

CFA gave PBI the flick

Scania_1 · « **Reply #72 on:** November 24, 2006, 02:10:24 PM »

CFA were trialling PBI and nomex werent they? What are they sticking with their proban and woolen coats?

SA Firey · « **Reply #73 on:** November 24, 2006, 03:18:20 PM »

Was at Mildura station the other day and only Proban and Nomex on the racks with bunker coats.

S/O mentioned that PBI was going to be tested again soon

I believe there is a difference of opinion between what the CFA hierarcy wants to purchase and what the UFU wants the firies to have...
